My Vera Lite can't be detected by MiOs but only GetVera & using Simpe UI

Community Playground Getting Started & Initial Setup
1

Hi! I am engineering student currently doing my 3rd year project, and Vera Lite is part of my project. I encountered with some problems. Can someone give me some tips?

I found that my vera lite can only be detected using GetVera, but not for MiOs.

I am trying to use simple UI to send URL to web browser to control my vera lite. When I enter this URL: https://sta1.mios.com/locator_json.php?username=(my username), it can respond me a chain of information including my vera lite ip address. Since my vera lite can’t be detected by MiOs, I still using GetVera, but up to this step is quite ok. But when I enter " http://ip:3480/data_request?id=lu_alive" based on Simple UI, I expect to view the status of all scenes and devices, but it is shown Not found. It makes me wonder that is it because these URLs are only for MiOs, but not for GetVera? And my vera lite can’t be detected by MiOs, so I can’t use this URLs also?

I tried many method to let the MiOs detect my vera, after I login, I saw this
“New Vera systems on your home network
I found 1 new Vera systems which have not yet been assigned to a MiOS account. Click ‘Add to MiOS account’ if you want to setup or use these systems.
Unit_xxxxxx
Serial #xxxxxxxx // IP: xxxxxxxxx
Add to MiOS account”

up to here is quite ok, and I click “Add to MiOS account” it will show
"I am trying to connect to your unit using local network connection.
You may get a security warning since access point web server doesn’t support https.

One moment while I try contact it on your local home network.
If you still see this message after 15 seconds, please reset your unit, wait one minute then click here" but it will always stop here. “click here” is for back to last step.

I also tried to find the Simple UI for GetVera, I expect it maybe slightly different from MiOs, but so far I can’t find many relative info online.

Any reply or suggestion is highly appreciated! :slight_smile:
Thanks in advance!

Couple things.

  1. Which version of Vera firmware is running on your Vera lite?
  2. http://ip:3480/data_request?id=lu_alive (replacing the ip with your Vera ip) will only return an OK response and will not give you the status of the scenes and devices.
  3. The url above will only work on your local network and not outside of your network in which you will need to use the Mios remote servers.
  4. In order to use the Mios remote servers for remote access, you will need to determine which firmware version you are running on your Vera Lite. If it is 1.5.xxx, this should be fairly simple to do. If it is 1.6.xxx, this will be very complicated as it uses a different authentication method that is much more complex and will require a good amount of work to incorporate.

If you can start by giving us your firmware version of vera, we can guide you further.
