    As a test, I created a Vacation Ghost device, and it worked fine. I can send you the log of that, if you'd like--please message me an email address.

      In this screenshot:
      http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,24057.msg170334.html#msg170334

      The log says"D_Arduino1.xml so device XXX is offline".

      This indicates that there was something that failed when your Vera tried to create the device. It would have been interesting to see te lines just before. It might contain some useful information.

      Also check that your Vera2 is no low on memory.

        Well--these are the logs I'm getting from IP\cgi-bin\cmh\log.sh?device=luaupnp ... that screenshot is from plugging the Arduino into the USB.

        As it stands, I don't have a next step to try to troubleshoot this as I've done everything I can think of.

          Could you ssh into you Vera and check the /etc/cmh-ludl/ folder

          According to your screenshot the file-size of D_Arduino.xml is 31508. But it should only be round 1000 bytes (uncompressed).

          /etc/cmh-ludl# ls -lart \*_Arduino\*

              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.

                  @stofakiller

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

                    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.

                      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.

                              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.

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

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