It seems that Vera now has support for oauth2 for authentication. The Alexa integration uses it for example. How can us developers create a new auth client for our third party code?
Hello Martin,
We have no official support for OAuth at this moment. It’s not part of the developers API.
It has only been implemented to be used with Amazon services and other Cloud services we may add integration shortly.
Hi,
I managed to connect to a web portal that uses oauth2 using pure LUA code. However, it requires LuaSec 0.7 rather then the 0.5/0.4 mix on the Vera. Is there a plan to put a more recent version of the LUA libraries on the Vera?
Cheers Rene
Oauth will be part of the UI8 onboarding as well.

Libraries will be constantly updated, especially when UI8 will start rolling out.
Thanks for the heads up Sorin.
Will there be updated developer documentation too? The information on the wiki is very outdated and the UI7 information is incomplete. I do think one reason plugins cause issues is because of lack of correct documentation and we end up doing a lot of trial and error to get thing (sort of) working.
Cheers Rene
@reneboer This is just a part of a bigger image that is targeting UI8, towards revamping and streamlining of the API documentation/ app store/ developers/ approval process, so on so forth. This is in early stages of course and as soon as I’m having more details, I will pass them on. And of course, we will closely work with the developer’s community.
Great to hear Sorin.
