I have bought som new sensors (EzMotion and ST814) that I’m trying to configure. To facilitate this I would like to have a look in the logs, but I can’t find them anywhere in the GUI. (I’m using firmwave 1.1.1245 on Vera 2) Is there a logs button in the GUI anymore???
The SSH approach didn’t work out well either. I don’t have the root password, and I don’t know how to get/reset it. I have read that you should use some phrase printed under the unit, but it doesn’t work for me.
i know that I’m not a power user, but I thought my skill was good for a look in the logs.
Thanks
Now I can se the logs, but is there a way to use the slider in the browser without having the logs constantly moving? My work around is to copy a section to an editor… Is there a better way?
Or is there a cool shell command secuence that allows you to filter out what you want?
Regarding SSH. Where can I find the password? I don’t recall that I ever used SSH on my Vera. Specifically, never changed any password. Maybe Micasaverde doesn’t was us to play around with SSH?
In what way is that a security issue? I have tried every combination of phrases written on the back of vera as password…
Vera is behind a firewall on a private network. Isn’t that fairly secure?
There is typically a paper sticker covering that information with the root password labeled the WiFi password.
Maybe MCV can assist in providing that information if you submit a trouble ticket.
Here, try this plugin. It prints the “Password” entry from your /etc/cmh/cmh.conf file. That’s the same string that’s on the sticker on my Vera, and it might work as the root password for you.
Add the three files as Luup Files, and create a Luup device with D_Password.xml as the device filename. Then save, reload the Luup engine, and wait.
The new version of automatorapp for iphone has some neat history screens for every device. It seems to show everything (every poll) so it’s not a summary log, but it is handy.
But when I access the app and look at the history from my 3in1 EzMotion I always see some action from the last minute. But before that there is nothing for, let’s say, 12 hours.
Maybe history will only show me the last known value and the time will be the moment I asked? This seems to be the case with battery operated devices.

The history is only recorded while the app is running. It is really meant to allow live viewing of data updates.
The variables option in advanced tab will show the current state of all variables as known by Vera, so that is a more accurate “current state” for the device.
cmh_conf = io.open("/etc/cmh/cmh.conf")
for line in cmh_conf:lines() do
local match = line:match("^Password=(.+)$")
if (match) then
luup.log(match)
end
end
cmh_conf:close()
Is there some reason that finding and looking at the logs has to be so difficult? Why isn’t this often-used function programmed into the Vera web interface?

I have added the 3 files as luup files… Add a device… and where can i check the password now?
I need to read the log files, but can’t log in using SSH. Wrong password for root, it seems. I never used SSH to log in to it before, never changed any password.
The one on the label don’t work. Installed the plug-ins in this thread, it shows the same password as on the label.
Vera2, UI5 version 1.5.408.
