The Imperihome app for me has been the fastest app for changing the state of the lights, locks ect and looks the best imo. Once set up you will noticed a big improvement. Also if your Vera lite changes its ip address all the time then that would slow you down in loading the app to. Best to truly judge your set up the next day, when Vera has done it's nightly heal and matches up all the node in relation to where the other ones are.
@Sparkman yes it's the same sketch hek uploaded word for word. Powering using a phone charger 5v 1amp. Im putting it down to I might have a faulty pin 6 or the sketch doesn't play well with Vera and the plugin. Does anyone have another sketch?
@andlopez I'd watch Petes video https://youtu.be/TBvGrB094Co about 8 minutes in, it shows how to load up your library for the first time.
@sundberg84 I have two DHT22 sensors which I have tried both. They both work when I run the humidity sketch on its own but not when I try this sketch. Having never written code before this "delay(dht.getMinimumSamplingPeriod());" I have no clue what this is. Also if I used pin 5 for example how would I go changing the code to represent this. Cheers everyone so far for your help fault finding what's wrong with my set up. I don't usually give up but this simple one is testing my patients to the point I might just run a temp sensor on its own.

@Dwalt how do i go about gathering the serial log. Can i plug in the sensor and download the serial log with the arduino program
@Dwalt Just used the DHT sensor on its own and loaded the humidity sketch and it works perfectly. did try and load the dallas temp sketch and that didnt work on its own. Question will i need to upload if there is one someting like a dallas.JSON or or another XML onto vera for hek's sketch to work possibly?
@Dwalt I'm powering both sensors off the 5v pin on the board so they are sharing the power. Temp is on pin 6. All three nodes added to Vera. I can arm or bypass the motion and this works, the temp and humidity node are on Vera but not showing any numbers. Temp is at 0 degrees and humidity is at 0%. I tried cycling the nodes off and on a few times. With no results.
@Dwalt yes I removed the node off Vera U7 and re added it as instructions say. Using Nana serial controller. The motion sensor works perfectly. I'm using hek sketch, I just cut and paste the sketch into to program and compiled and uploaded. Do I need a resistor with the dht 22 temp sensor because I don't have one on it at the moment.
