I’ve looked through forums and setting up the following scene is not covered…just starting and need some assistance. I have a Foscam FI 8918w, and I want it to start recording just when the kwikset door code (a specific one) is entered, and record only for a minute, then forward the video to my email. I would also like in the future to be able to set the camera view to different presets…but I am getting ahead of myself.
So where do I start? If someone could point me to a link in the forum where this has been addressed that would be great! Thanks.

I agree that there is a severe lack of documentation on this topic. It took me quite awhile to figure out how to create a scene with MCV Vera2 and UI5. I finally did and posted my procedure for settings up scenes with the GE45600 remote in this thread: [url=http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,6063.15.html]http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,6063.15.html[/url]. I’ll quote just the part that involves UI5:
Create Scene: Automation > New scene Give scene a name where the text entry box says “New scene”, leave the next box as “Immediate”, and select a room if you’d like. Configure the Lights as you’d like them to be for the scene. Click “Confirm changes” then “Save” (upper right) On “Save data” screen, click “Continue”Create Trigger:
Automation > Scenes
Click the settings “wrench” for the desired scene
At the top of the screen, select “Triggers”
“Add trigger”
Device dropdown: select the name of your remote control
What type of event is the trigger? Select “A scene is activated”
“Name for this trigger”: enter name of your choice
“Which scene number”: enter scene number for the button you’d like to use on the remote
Click “Confirm changes” then “Save” (upper right)
On “Save data” screen, click “Continue”
