I love how the Vera has modes built in like Home, Away etc, something the ISY missed and why I switched to Z-Wave. I use ImperiHome though as I find the Vera app is really slow and laggy where ImperiHome works really well.
Is there any way to select a mode like away, home etc other than the Vera app? Tried making a scene but I don’t see “Set mode” as any type of action there. Ideally looking to be able to set home or away from within ImperiHome. Also if I can’t set it from a scene, is there no way to do something like “If the front door changes to locked, then switch to Away mode?” Thanks!
Thanks everyone, I actually got it working as well with a plug in, there’s one called HomeModes or something like that, just search for Status. It adds a device with 4 buttons, Home, Away, Vacation, Night then that way you can make a scene to turn each on similar to what you did above. There’s also a virtual switch plugin I used so that way if it’s turned on, then away mode is on, and if it’s off, home mode is on. So far so good!
ImperiHome doesn’t support multiswitch or many plugins. So in that app you will not find your Multiswitch even if its on the VERA and you can use it with other apps or the UI.
Maybe someone can help me with this. I was wanting to do this exact thing for use with Homewave.
Anyway, I go to Scenes > Add Scene
Trigger: Manual
Device actions: Nothing, just hitting Next Step
Then under “Also, execute the following Luup code:”, I’m pasting this code in (for switching to Away Mode):
luup.call_action(‘urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1’, ‘SetHouseMode’, { Mode=2 }, 0)
I give it a name and then save it.
However, when I manually run this scene, nothing is happening. If I paste the luup code into the Test Luup Code section, it does work, so I feel like I’m just missing something within the scene creation. Thanks in advance for any advice!
but if yes : yes I’m using UI 7 and Imperihome, just added a shortcut to the scenes
