There is a “work around” to fix this:
Go to chrome://flags
Search for HTTPS Upgrades and set it to “disabled” then restart Chrome.
I was then able to get redirected to my Vera UI7 web interface OK.
What the dev said
“It’s not much we can do on legacy Vera architecture.
That http page is needed in order to check if controller is still online on LAN ip to redirect to local UI as https pages cannot load http resources on any browser due security reasons. With https only as Chrome wants that check cannot be done at all without this workaround.”
So sounds like this “work around” is the actual fix for the problem then.
