VERA 2 Device Install

[DeltaNu1142]

Here's what I've got... nothing out of the ordinary that I can see--but since the screen shot you referenced, I've gone through, deleted any Arduino files from Vera through WinSCP, then uploaded the files through the Vera UI again. No change in behavior, unfortunately.

Hi, i got mine to work, when i change the port from 5003 to 80...

[DeltaNu1142]

@stofakiller

Do you mean, the device was blank until you changed the port? Or are you using an Ethernet gateway?

[stofakiller]

Yes, it was blank until i choose port 80...

I choose 192.168.1.166 as ip for my ethernet gateway, but it didn't work for me with the standard port 5003 (192.168.1.166:5003), but when i changed it in the sketch to port 80 and also in the MySensors Plugin, then it worked.

[DeltaNu1142]

I've been attempting to use a USB gateway. I'm unmotivated at this time to try an Ethernet gateway as I don't have any reason to think it would work.

No, it is really strange and unfortunate that your Vera2 seems to handle the MySensors plugin differently than on the 3/Lite model. I tried finding some information on the differences but haven't found any on the micasa-forum.

Using the ethernet gateway wouldn't make a difference at this point.

Hello
I was going to buy a few arduinos supposing that the project works with a Vera 2 (not vera light).

Can you please confirm that someone has it installed successfully on a Vera 2?

Thanks

@Nicola-Reina

Perhaps you could try to install the vera-plugin and see what happens. @DeltaNu1142 had problem just getting plugin to startup correctly.

Would be interesting to see if you are experiencing the same thing.

[DeltaNu1142]

I'd like to see what luck you have with it. I'd be willing to "float" you an Arduino Nano and radio if you wanted to try it out.

I am Planning to buy some sensor. Is vera 2 supported? Or is it just vera lite ?

I have been using a VERA 2 with the Arduino usb gateway for two weeks now. I have two nodes, one with a motion sensor and the second node with a humidity/temp sensor. They are working well. I had to reload the VERA UI several times after I uploaded the files to VERA. After the reboots the gateway worked properly. I have more Arduinos and sensors on order, these things are great. Other than affirming that a VERA 2 will work I can't be of much more help.

@sailhome

Good to hear. But this makes the problems @DeltaNu1142 experience a mystery.

[Dvbit]

Thanks. So i go a ahead and hold thumbs

[Dvbit]

Vera is temperamental at least ...
I have some plugins that once worked now not. Apparently nothing changed

[hek]

Yeah, Vera is moody sometimes.

I wish I could attribute my troubles between this plugin & my Vera 2 to something. I hung it up a while ago. I've since installed ping sensors & then uninstalled them, but they worked as expected while I had them.

Let me ask this... should you be able to install the Arduino plugin without the hardware, and get... anything? All I ever saw in the plugin was a blue circle. It's as if the plugin never configured.

I am just starting to install my plug in for VERA 2. It created the plug in without a problems. When Vera starts the plug in it states that the serial port has to be selected. How do I do that? Under the serial port tab there is only my serial port for my alarm system. If I ssh into vera I can see both USB ports. My alarm port (usbserial.c: PL-2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB1 (or usb/tts/1 for devfs)0 and the gateway USB (usbserial.c: CP210X converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for devfs)). So I know it connects, but I do not know how to tell the plug in to use that port. Any help would be appreciated.

It usually pops up on the serial configuration page. You're using a Arduino Nano right?

[jmmorgan]

@hek I am using Arduino Nano, but it does not pop up in the serial configuration page. I have read a lot of the post on USB to serial connection on the Vera forum, but no luck.

After much effort, I got it to recognize the serial gateway: Here what I did
Log into WinSCP
Run lsusb
You should see a line similar to this. Bus 001 Device 006: ID 10c4:ea60 Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc. CP210x Composite Device. The 10c4 is the vendor and the ea60 is the product.

Find
/etc/cmh/serproxy.port
Open it up and make sure it has the line
vendor:10c4 product:ea60
If serproxy.port does not exist, manual create it.
Reboot, Reboot and hope.

Now on to the next step. I hope it is easier.
