With my Vera being a Vera2 on UI5, is it still possible to use the Home / Away / Vacation / Night modes in AltUI?
This is a simple question, but how are those set?
The openLuup environment is an emulation of a UI7 machine, so yes, it has house modes which are set by the buttons on the home page. They can also be set/read programmatically through the top-level “Modes” attribute. Scenes can also be written to only operate in some modes.
The VeraBridge now also has a variable which reflects the mode of the bridged machine, but in the case of linking to a non-UI7 machine, this will, of course, not do anything.
im on the latest version but cant see this variable…?
Are you really on the latest version of the bridge?

That’s my question - how to I set the top-level mode? Do i need to do that with a piece of code? For example, if I am using the iPhone Locator and the phone goes away, how to I set the house mode to away? In UI5 I accomplished this with a scene and a virtual switch (in the absence of house modes). But I don’t see in the scene builder how to set that mode.
Same as on Vera with UI7…
…you can either use an HTTP request, or one line of Lua code:
Setting: (value is 1,2,3, or 4)
luup.attr_set ("Mode", value)Getting:
local mode = luup.attr_get "Mode"Does that help?
Edit: correction, I had written “luup.attribute_get/set” when I should have written “luup.attr_get/set”. Fixed in the above code now.

So you are right… I wasn’t on the latest… despite copying over the files from the development branch…
that said however, if I drop the latest in , the Altui will not load.
If I try a reload it form the command line I get a repeating line
device 12 'VeraPlus' requesting reloadwhats more strange is this…
I uploaded the backup VeraBridge files to get a functioning system again…
and despite being on the old one… I now have the variable you spoke of, Home Mode
