Development Branch: update to VeraBridge
Following this problem statement / suggestion:
[quote=“konradwalsh”]I have a Vera Edge Plus and OpenLuup install.
I want to sync the home modes on each device and looking for suggestions on how to this…[/quote]
and, to be fair, an earlier one here:
I’ve updated the VeraBridge code to mirror either to, or from, a remote Vera’s mode (or not at all.)
The bridge now has a new device variable [tt]HouseModeMirror[/tt], which you can set to one of three values:
[tt]
“0” : no mirroring,
“1” : local mirrors remote machine,
“2” : remote mirrors local machine.
[/tt]
You have to reload to make this change effective. Because of Vera’s built-in delay in changing HouseMode, mode 2 can take a while (typically 30 seconds or more) to kick in, but they should synchronize in the end.
To apply this update, assuming you’re running openLuup v0.8.1, then all you have to do is go the the Plugins page, hit the Update button for VeraBridge, and wait for the reload. Refreshing the browser should show that the VeraBridge version is now “GitHub.development”. The Variables tab of the device should show the new variable (in mode 0) and a Version of “2016.05.23”. Don’t try mirroring HouseMode to/from a UI5 Vera!
