I have used the official MCV API and it is tested on the latest UI7 version.
Sp the real question is whether MCV API is backwards compatible with UI5 version.
My guess is that if you have an account that works on Login , VeraLuupNet would propably work.
As i said that is just a guess, I would love any feedback on that.
Feel free to send me a private message if you want any help on seting up VeraLuupNet.
I totally understand why you do not wish to upgrade to the latest UI7 version. Still i cant even seem to find any kind of documentation on connecting to a UI5 vera server.
