Connecting to VeraLite remotely

Community Playground General Discussions

I have previously been able to download data from my VeraLites using the URL:

https://fwd1.mios.com/UserName/Password/SerialNumber/data_request?id=user_data

Ever since upgrading to the new UI it says “Invalid user/pass.” whenever I try. The username and password are correct. I even got a new unit and set it up under a brand new username…and it still says it is an incorrect username and/or password. Did they remove this feature, or is there another way to do this?

Thanks, Olver

You need to make sure you are using the correct remote server for that unit. Each Vera will connect to a different URL. Log into cp.mios.com and select the Vera you want to connect to. Make note of the URL that it is using. It can be from fwd1 to fwd8. If you are in UI7, that is a different story way more complex.

Thanks for the reply.

I am using UI7, and my logon does not work for cp.mios.com. Does this mean I can no longer download data using https://fwdx.mios.com/UserName/Password/SN/data_request?id=user_data? I just got off a 45 min phone convo with Vera tech support and he did not seem to know what I was talking about.

UI7 uses different servers than Ui5. Instead of cp.mios.com, try home.getvera.com. Also, since UI7 uses a different, more secure, way of authentication, embedding the username and password in the URL most likely no longer works. You have to obtain a session token first to be able to access anything.

Since you are on UI7, you will need to authenticate via the new MMS authentication method. This requires many steps and is not as simple as passing your username and password in the URL.
