You should not typ "\n"!
It means that you should press enter on your keyboard.
On Linux I saw that I have to send "\r\n" instead of "\n".
"\r\n" (Carriage return, Line feed) is the Windows return, "\n" only the Linux return.

there is TONS of this on the Vera website, and many many folks are connecting them with a (serial I think) interface that you may buy and the plugin @Dwalt mentioned.
