I found that the following luup command send the variable V_VAR5 with payload (value=2):
luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="1;255", variableId="VAR_5", value=2}, 98)is there any way to send the subtype message I_HEARTBEAT ?

@Lior-Rubin What you can do is on your Vera (UI5 but should work on UI7):
- Create a "Hearthbeat" scene
- Add a scene "Schedule" on the heartbeat interval you like say: "Interval based: Every 1 hour"
- On the Luup-tab fill in this command
luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="2;255", variableId="VAR_5", value=2}, 98)- Confirm the new scene
- Save changes to let restart your Luup engine
There is no such thing as a I_HEARTBEAT (nor a V_HEARTBEAT) look on this page for the available sub-types (skip the V_ in your variableId-string)
Your MySensors node (in the example with ID 2) should handle the incoming message with sub-type V_VAR5
ID 1 (radioID 1) will not work this is reserved for the gateway

The vera plugin hasn't been updated with the most recent additions (like the I_HEARTBEAT) yet. But as @barte says, you can basically send anything to the node.

@hek I'm aware of all you says.
Is there any roadmap for the Vera Plugin ?I think that the plugin need to get attention...
-
No roadmap for the Vera plugin at the moment. I_HEARTBEAT will be documented on the main site when 2.0 is released.
@BartE has done a great job implementing new sensor types on Vera. Creating a new sensor type is a fun and pretty isolated development task. Additional maintainers is always welcome.
