It didn’t take long to for me to get confused with setting up the vera2!!
Unboxed the beast last night, plugged it in, let it cycle until the 3 lights came on, then plugged in my ethernet.
Went to the micasaverde/vera2 page on my internal network and began the search for my vera2; NO devices found. Huh??
Reset, unplugged, plugged, pinged, you name I did it. Couldn’t get a ping on the device, so now I am wondering, WTH??
Found the port I used was previously plugged into an Xbox, and port forwarding was turned on; immediately deleted the setting. Still nothing; again reset, unplug, plug, ping, …
See some posts about setting it up through cp.mios.com, so I give it a try. Register for an account, no problems here, and go into search mode… Nothing, nada, zilch, …
So I am back to the basics; I should be able to ping the beast… finally, it starts pinging and I don’t know what changed. Go figure…
So I go back to cp.mios.com, have to log in with my previously established Username and Password, and get “Username or Password incorrect.” I am not losing my mind and know what I used for name and password. Okay, I’ll use another one and write everything down. Username and Password work for awhile, can’t find device, reset everything, and again “Username or Password incorrect.”
Issue #1 What is happening to my cp.mios.com account that is doesn’t know who I am after I register??
Finally, I go back to micasaverde.com/vera2, and what do you know, it found my device. Okay, now I am getting somewhere. I finally found the beast, and I am ready for action!
Go back to cp.mios.com, register a third username and password and it still can’t find the beast.
Issue #2 Are there any firewall rules I need to enable/disable on my router to allow cp.mios.com to talk to the vera2?
I promise there will be more questions… Thanks all !!
