My Vera (UI8?) Wish-list

[quote=“ChrisK, post:40, topic:192142”]@ember1205 I think you misunderstand what I am saying. From Amazon: “Client Mode: Allow devices that require a wired connection to access an existing Wi-Fi network.”

First you configure this to access your WiFi, then you plug it into your Vera Lite. Your Lite now connects to your WiFi network and you can walk around with on battery mode. Just as if it had its own WiFi built in.

I use one of these in my work, just as an access point. I need to use WiFi where there is none and no wired Ethernet. I plug this into one of our switches and away I go. It is very versatile. When I have a chance I will try it in client mode with my Lite.[/quote]

I fully understood. My point is that the Vera firmware controls not only WHETHER it will work (if the radio is supported) but also HOW it will work (as a “server”, and not a client). The Vera firmware does not support the kind of function you describe. So, even if the adapter lights up and can be operated, it won’t provide the type of service you’re describing.

There is a work around for the Icon issue and I am using it.

I create my icon.png (I think it was 50pix by 50pix) and I upload it to my website.

Then in the LUUP hard code for the device I change the pointer to the icon to point to my http://www.website.com/myicon.png, save the code and I refresh the UI.

Works for me.

No more “pumps” that are referenced by “light bulbs”…

I don’t think it works locally though, ie; \Computer/C:/icon.png

Good thinking! Pity it wont work remote (eg. Imperihome).

Where?
Return Dimmer to previous value?
Here’s what I’m hoping to accomplish. I have the front door lock trigger my dimmer switch to go to 100% when it’s unlocked. 5 minutes after the unlock the scene’s delay returns the dimmer switch to the previous value, before the door was unlocked.

There used to be away to accomplish this in the older version 5 interface. In fact I have an older scene that still works in version 7, but I’m afraid to edit it or change it because it doesn’t give me an option to return to the previous value.

example 1:
dimmer = 20%
trigger door is unlocked
dimmer = 100%
delay 5 minutes
dimmer = 20%

example 2:
dimmer = 0%
trigger door is unlocked
dimmer = 100%
delay 5 minutes
dimmer = 0%

example 3:
dimmer = 100%
trigger door is unlocked
dimmer = 100%
delay 5 minutes
dimmer = 100%

Thanks

Imperihome has always allowed you to change icons to your choice. So my Hot water heaters don’t look like lights bulbs in imperihome. You can use your own .png.
