New to Vera here. I have a very basic setup so far with a Vera Plus controller and a Kwikset 914 lock.
Mostly things are working but I cannot for the life of me figure out why the log is so sparse. It only seems to register events/alerts that are done via the keypad. Why is that? I can see it change state in the interface when the bolt is manually locked or unlocked with the key or knob so it clearly knows when that type of event has happened.
Also I have to say the columns are rather lacking and you have to click every event/alert to see anything useful. Why isn’t there a column for event (eg. lock, unlock, bad pin) and source such as user/PIN, manual(key), keypad, etc. Or else this combined. Instead I see this, which is nearly useless:
Date/Time Description Source Type
2017-10-17 13:56:15 Kwikset Door Lock Kwikset Door Lock Device changed …
2017-10-16 09:48:04 Kwikset Door Lock Kwikset Door Lock Device changed …
2017-10-15 15:17:04 Kwikset Door Lock Kwikset Door Lock Device changed …
2017-10-15 11:27:20 Kwikset Door Lock Kwikset Door Lock Device changed …
It should look something like this (with my wished for manual events starred that the unit knows about because it sees the state changes):
Date/Time Description Source Type

Any tips welcome.
Thanks!
