[quote=“emiliosic, post:15, topic:191768”]Does anyone know how to configure the double/triple/hold taps on Vera? Also, are there any option parameters to configure?
Thanks![/quote]
I’m trying to determine this as well. Did you ever figure it out?
No, something about the ‘central scene’ is not supported on Vera.
Has anyone have updates on if instant status works with Vera plus?? I was thinking of pulling trigger on about 15-18 dimmers and really hoping at least the instant status works. I mean smart things was able to get it integrated… come on vera…
Instant status works between Vera Plus and these dimmers, as well or as bad as with other older Z-Wave devices. Works most of the time, but for things where Vera needs to know the status, have a scene ‘_Poll Dimmers’ that runs every 20 seconds and runs a poll action (Advance Editor).
Receiving status seems less reliable than sending command, so it depends on the network mesh, but it works.
Yeah, I got a sort of a confused reply when I asked Vera Tech support on this. Seems like it should be something they could implement with firmware upgrade.
Seems like both of these statements quiet normal and true when applied to alot of things missing form VERA.
Problem is upgrades are few and far between with little to no real fixes on them. They also usually brake just as much as they fix or more.
Altho it could happen just don’t base several hundred dollars (675-810.00 for the 15-18 switches the poster above was asking about) on vera’s (149.00) controller and their possible updates.
Think of it as parking your 1 million dollar car in your 150k house with a carport. Sure you can do it but just makes people think your priorities are a** backwards.
Hello, I bought one of the HomeSeer HS-WD-100+ wall dimmers and am trying to include it into my Vera 3 controller. When I go to the add device in the UI (7), it does not include any HomeSeer devices. My question is do I just try to include it as a generic device or as one of the other types of dimmer switches? If one of the others, which one(s)?
90% of devices need to be added as generic since the list Vera supports is so small. There is only a few devices that really require the specific device be chosen as it needs certain children added to fully function.
Ok thank you very much.
Any updates on Vera supporting the multi-tap (scene-class?) gestures on the Homeseer switches yet?
As Homeseer is a Vera competitor I would not hold my breath waiting for device support.
Vera does support multitap on GoControl WD500Z5.

So, there shouldn’t be any difference in support unless Vera specifically excluded HomeSeer products in their code. That’s possible but it doesn’t make a lot of business sense.

I agree, if they aren’t planning to come out with a matching product of their own, they might as well support the HS devices (especially if they are good)!

- 1 on this request. Homeseer even wrote a handler for SmartThings to work. It would be great to see these working for scene control on the Vera platform, especially since there is no competing switch product in market from Vera / MIOS. The switches are high quality, I’ve installed many in my house.
Only thing your missing is HS3 and headless mini Windows box. Been a few years since I looked back.
I have uploaded a new plugin which has much better support for the HS-WD100+ and similar Homeseer devices.
