I found this project called “Listnr” on kickstarter and wanted to help promote it a little because I see a great potential of it integrating with Vera. The good thing is that the inventor has promised HTTP-based API to be included with the product launch, which means this enables voice command to control your Vera.

My only concern is the command needs to get carried out at their cloud, which means the Vera URL needs to be the external one (fwd1.mios.com). If that’s the case, does that mean I need to include my mios username and password in the URL to send it back to my Vera? I don’t feel too comfortable if that is the case, hopefully there is a better / more secured way to do it.

meh, more interested in getting a hub that works without calling tech support to allow forced downgrade and adding a bunch of custom luup and pleg code (though the fact i can hack it is a must), was watching

and
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hiveconnected/hive-smart-home-security-and-entertainment-for-eve
but currently thinking i’ll just hold on for a few more months with vera lite ui5, and get the smartthings v2 hub when it’s available assuming the offline mode works as advertised.

I’m a backer of Neeo too. =D

The Neeo will support RESTful API via HTTP so for sure I plan to tie that in to become my Vera remote. Too bad it can only be a primary Z-wave controller and cannot act as a secondary, being a secondary controller would have been a tighter integration.
