Vera Arduino Plugin

ch luck with the "gateway" does it matter where you attach the gateway,ex does it need to be plugged directly into the port on the Vera 3 or at any point in your network. When I plug the ethernet gateway into my 16 port switch and then open up my router to look to see if the unit is connect to my network I can not find the mac address of the wiz 5100 or the IP that i setup in the UN
Should work anywhere on your ethernet network ( unless you have multiple subnets) - you should be able to ping it from your pc if you are using the wiznet module.

Hi, I am just about to buy some Arduino hardware and then I too wish to add it to my Veralite. I believe that I am running U15 on my Veralite. Please can you give me any help that the more experienced members overlooked telling you because they possibly just presumed that you would know that step etc.
Also how have you got on with building your modules.Regards

Hi, I am new to arduino but not to Vera, have been using Veralite for a few years, I to wuould like to know how to add the gate to Vera, I find it very confusing, it would be ideal if a video was created r step by step instructions, I will be more than happy to donate via paypal, Thanks so much -
- If you are running UI7 then I recommend that you download newer files from GitHub ([https://github.com/mysensors/Vera/tree/UI7](link url) )
- Install **all **files (mentioned in the instruction not all files from GitHub) to Vera under Apps/Develop apps/Luup files (in UI7)
- Create the device as the instruction says
- Connect your Gateway
- Now hopefully your gateway will turn up as a device and with the text "Connected to: 192.........."

This was with the 1.5 library, I need to re-make that video with the new 2.0 version. PeteB also has a nice video on the subject, I think I have the link in my video description. -

Question I have though, can I still use the Arduino Nano with the CH340G board for my sensors since I already have a dozen of them?
Thanks again

ThanksYes, the CH340 Nanos work fine for sensors or for Ethernet gateways, just not serial gateways:

No, have never looked into that. There are Z-Wave curtain modules available for under $20, like from Monoprice.

Was not aware of this module, most likely will need it is as well. I am looking to motorize my existing blinds, We have a ton of blinds at my place and would like to automate a portion of them.
Thanks
