But if I change the state of the light within the app, it takes 20-30 seconds to react; and sometimes it doesn’t react at all. I’ve seen some posting that Vera Mobile doesn’t work well with Altsteon. I wasn’t sure if this falls under that, in which case should I spend the $6 to buy a different app, or will I run into the same thing? Has anyone else seen this behavior? Any suggestions?
use Autohomation … it is free so you can send me $5 for the advice

Not only do you get the best Vera app but you save money too
Thanks for the advice, but I can’t find an app by that name. I am on iphone; perhaps it is a Google App?
Yes, AutHomation is an Android app. Check out HomeWave or Automator.app for the iOS platform.

Thanks for those recommendations. I may try them out to compare.
I think I found the problem, which caused the delay when sending commands from my iphone, but Vera Moble showed the status immediately as I made the change manually. Apparently when the Altsteon daemon is not able to contact a device, it re-attempts the connection every 5 seconds or so, thus delaying all other traffic on the network. I don’t know why my KPL is not working with Altsteon, and that is a different issue, but removing the KPL Dimmer from Vera fixed all of the issues, and Vera Mobile is working awesome.
I am working through this KPL issue on a different thread - http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,16990.0.html
