There’s a fantastic native application called iviewer. This app makes your iphone to an universal remote that can be customized like the Philips Pronto that i had before. I use it in combination to the GC-100-6. So i have the control to all my AV-Devices and this works fantastic.
I wrote to the developer of the application to let me know if its possible that iviewer or better its building tool gui designer can communicate with vera. he told me that every device that is able to handle tcp udp protocols can be spoken and controlled. Unfortunatally I do not have any idea of protocols, scripts and programming languages and I asked MiCasaVerde, they answered that Vera just supports http.
I like vera but not the web plugin for iphone to control my z-wave devices. i like the idea to draw a floorplan in this app and make buttons look like the lamps i want to switch on and off.
Is anybody able to write a plugin or have an idea to make it work? (the application can be found here: http://www.commandfusion.com/).
i was searching for people with same idea but didnt found anyone.
For a working solution im ready to pay 100 Dollars ;D

It is also TCP based socket communication just like Command Fusion. Someone will need to write a LUUP Device script that listens on the TCP socket and implements the specific Command Fusion or Zwave Commander ASCII protocol to control the Vera. Should be easy for someone that knows Lua and Luup. I would do it myself, but I looked over the documentation for Lua and Luup and I can’t make heads or tails of it!
i know your z-wave commander, i asked you some time ago if my vera box works with it.
isnt there anyone able to write such a script? why isnt micasaverde interested in doing that?
i just think of selling the box again andy buy something works with commandfusion or the z-wave commander.
do you know a box that can do it? it has to work with z-wave devices of europe standard.
MCV is working on a native iPhone app with SquareConnect. They were looking for beta testers back in October. I’m hoping we will here a release announcement at/around CES (next week).

I am sure someone who knows a lot about LUUP and the protocol could help me write a connector for Zwave Commander. Our protocol is so simple so anyone out there that is familiar with LUUP let me know and we can work together.
As for a hardware box that supports Zwave Commander there is this one… It is not a router like MCV but a small 5W embedded Linux box.
Melloware won’t be easy to modify your code to understand our format, according to our documentation: [url=http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/UI_Notes#Building_a_control-only_UI_for_Vera]http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/UI_Notes#Building_a_control-only_UI_for_Vera[/url], in this way you’ll create in your code, that you know it, a wrapper for our app. Also since our app is upnp compatible you could use upnp commands, first you can find the commands using Device SPY, then using the Implementation xml files from /etc/cmh-lu[dl]/I_DeviceNAME.xml you can figure out how to compose exactly the commands for every device.
Well since my iPhone app speaks TCP socket connection and ASCII protocol to the server piece I essentially would need to build a “bridge”.
So…
From iPhone to VERA…
iPhone->TCPSocket->Server Bridge->Translate ASCII ZC to LUUP Command->VERA
From VERA to IPhone…
VERA->LUUP convert to ASCII ZC command->Server Bridge->TCPSocket->iPhone
So I was hoping to create this as a plugin that runs right on the VERA and not need a PC for the “Server Bridge” part. The Vera plugin would need to know how to open a TCP Socket and be the Server Bridge part. Does that make sense?
Here is a link to our protocol from the iPhone to our .NET Server piece. If you need more info I can always send you our .NET class that has the server socket code in it.
