This is likely relatively simple to accomplish, but I am having some trouble finding the documentation to support what I’m needing to do.
I have been messing with some ZWave equipment and a Vera 2 that I picked up as a replacement for some X10 gear. What I have with X10 is a set of shell scripts and cron jobs that handle what I need. Where I have an X10 command that says “C7 ON” I want to be able to replace that with a web service call to my Vera to say, roughly, “uuid:4d494342-5342-5645-0014-000000003600 ON”. I really have no interest in programming scenes or any of that at this time. I just want to turn unit X on, unit Y off etc.
What are the critical technologies I have to get ahold of to make something like this work?
How can I get a simple list of the components my Vera knows about?
Is there simple logic to control units, maybe via a shell script?
I believe I can package what I want as a CGI program to run under lighttpd, is that so?
Is there something special I have to do to make a Vera2 remember the scripts i set up, so that they’re still there after power cycle?
I am with my Vera running the healing process at 8pm and always I have friends in home and I can not do a demonstration of our system with the right performance…
Unfortunately not. This heal time seems to be set somehow hardcoded somewher. Mine runs at 2AM but I’m in US EST timezone. I suggest you check with the support people to see if your time can be changed.
Update: I poked around in my Vera 3 but the only crontab I can find is for root and is for rotating the logs. No cron job for a heal as far as I can tell.
