Accessing Vera remotely through the MiOS servers with UI7

Developer's Corner General Dev Discussions

I am trying to access remotely access my vera lite through the https API.

I can call the API’s without problem locally but when I go through the MIOS servers I get an ‘invalid user/pass’ when I use my current UI7 account from home.getvera.com. When I use my old UI5 account I do not get an error but my Vera controller does not return any information.

Is the following call still valid for UI7 controllers?

UI 6/7 uses the newer platform and UI 5 uses the older one. They use different servers and API method. What version do you have?

UI6/Ui7 uses different servers and a different, more secure, authentication method. So a plain http call will no longer work. Check the plugin/app sub forums as the new authentication process is posted there.

I am using UI7. I search the forums on authentication but was unable to find a description that explains the remote request authentication for UI6/UI7.

I would expect that this is documented somewhere as it is for UI5 but I cannot find that either.

Maybe someone can post a simple example here?

It wouldn’t have come up with a search because it talks about UI6, not UI7, but the protocol is the same.

That helps. Thanks!
