Access to FriendlyName of VERA2 Device

When I use the following command from my browser:

http://192.168.1.9:49451/data_request?id=lu_device

It returns information about the VERA2 device. I’m really interested in one piece of information, the serial number of the VERA2 device which is represented by:

Vera 13276

Is there a way to just access “friendlyName” say from within an implementation file? Is this a variable that can just be read?

I would like to have my external application query my custom plugin, the plugin reads some system variable (friendlyName) and return that to my external application.

IIRC, the FriendlyName is stored in Vera’s the filesystem (in /etc/cmh/?)

You could use the variable HomeID (urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:ZWaveNetwork1) instead as an identifier (at least as long as Vera has exactly one Z-Wave network …).
