Good for you, What are you replacing it with?
My DD-WRT presence script now updates a Multiswitch device on both my main UI5 Vera3 and my test Ui7 Vera3. For neither (If on the same network) credentials appear to be needed as the status on both units gets updated correctly. I basically copied the UI5 Vera3 line and just changed the IP address and device number to reflect the UI7 Vera. Then restarted the script on my DD-WRT router.

Thanks for that info.

I think this is what it should look like.[/quote]
My MSwitch is device 675 so I used:
luup.inet.wget(“http://My.Vera.IP.Address:3480/data_request?id=lu_action&DeviceNum=675&serviceId=urn:schemas-dcineco-com:device:MSwitch1&action=SetStatus1&newStatus1=1”)
but it didn’t fire.
My MSwitch has a device-type of:
urn:schemas-dcineco-com:device:MSwitch675:1
which I suspect is due to relabeling the buttons
So I’m going to try:
luup.inet.wget(“http://My.Vera.IP.Address:3480/data_request?id=lu_action&DeviceNum=675&serviceId=urn:schemas-dcineco-com:device:MSwitch11&action=SetStatus1&newStatus1=1”)
and see if that makes a difference.
Just throw the HTTP part into a browser bar if your on the same network and test first.
EDIT:
My buttons are relabeled… You can look at the main multiswitch thread and on the first post there is a link to a PDF with the instructions. It also give you the proper commands.

I checked mine and it also has the :1 at the end but that don’t seem to matter. Try it but I don’t see that being an issue.

Its working!! I must have had some extraneous junk in the LUUP so I rewrote them and I do see the MSwitch pulse as expected.
I need to adjust the camera sensitivity i think, it seems to take along time for the motion to be detected in the BI Plug In but once it is it appears in the ZWave Vera almost instantly. I’m not certain about this yet but it appears that the BI Plug In only displays one motion event at a time … when it ends the next one shows on the Plug in and subsequently the transfer MSwitch indicator.
Thanks for the assist.

Ok You ready for the big one now… You don’t need to create a scene!
In Blue iris, in the camera of your choice under the alert options you can set it to run an http command of your choice. Just have that camera run this everytime it sees motion. Skip alot of steps.

Great minds think alike 
I was looking at modifying the BlueIris2Vera.bat that the Plugin uses in Blue Iris to trigger the Motion Sensor in the Plugin to also update the Transfer MultiSwitch for the associated camera, cut out the middleman
I forgot (but found it now) we talked about something similar in the BlueIris thread.
http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,25828.msg201322.html#msg201322 Post# 214
I’m running this same command and having BlueIris flip a multiswitch for the geofence that blueiris uses.
Hey Gklmdawson. You gave me an idea, I have a gas water heater that I would like to automate for security and economy, it has a knob that you have to turn, any suggestion? (see attached image)[/quote]
Please don’t, for your family’s safety and yours.
You don’t have auto electronic ignition. This is not something you want to fool with unless you are licensed/trained.[/quote]
Agreed the knob you pointed to is not the one I would try and control anyways. If anything you would want to control the one on the side that does the temp/vacation.[/quote]
Thank you, the thing is that the knob I am pointing, is the one that you turn to “pilot” mode and it mantains only the spark and cuts the rest so it is not turning on and off all day long. When you turn it to on, it starts turning on and off but if the pilot goes off (because of wind or watever) it cuts the gas supply automatically. Or as integlikewhoa says, I can also control the other knob into vacation mode, the function and safety at the end are the same.
Thanks to the lengthy, and highly productive, discussion with integlikewhoa , here’s where my system stands right now.
Vera3 “A” which currently has ALL the ZWave devices attached and the following Plug Ins:
… AutoVera
… Day/Night
… EventWatcher
… GCal3
… ImperiHome
… VeraAlerts
… MultiSwitch
… PLEG
… Virtual Switch
Vera3 “B” with the following Plug ins:
… iPhone Locator
… AutoVera
… Day/Night
… DSC alarm Panel
… EventWatcher
… ImperiHome
… MySensors
… Vera Alerts
… Blue Iris Plug In
… MultiSwitch
… PLEG
I created several MultiSwitch devices on Vera A to support both the Blue Iris Camera Motion Detection state and the DSC Alarm Zone state provided by Vera B
The Blue Iris Motion Detection is reported directly to Vera A by Blue Iris using the HTTP Web Service function of Alerts.
The DSC Alarm Zone State is reported by LUUP code triggered by each of the Zone State triggers in a PLEG on Vera B; when the zone state changes the PLEG sends the HTTP command for the associated MSwitch on Vera A.
As a result Vera A gets 200ms pulses in MSwitch for each of the Camera Motion Detectors and the DSC Alarm Zones which can then be used as Triggers in Vera A PLEG functions to control associated lights, etc., to respond to the motion or zone state change.
I’m also using the Script/Command function of alerts to run “BlueIris2Vera.Bat” to change the Motion Detection in the Blue Iris Plug In … but I’m thinking about removing that altogether as there are no functions on Vera B that will make use of it.
The good news is I now have access in the ZWave controlling Vera A for the Zone State changes of the Alarm System and the Camera Motion Detection changes of the Blue Iris … which was my original intent in the now failed Bridged Veras attempts so I’m closer to where I want the system to be.
The bad news is that all of this has changed the Memory Usage of LuaUPnP:
… Vera A FROM 95% to 105%
… Vera B FROM 105% to 117%
As we all know by now increasing the memory footprint of LuaUPnP too far generally leads to instability and restarts. So far, thankfully, this does not seem to be happening with my systems.
Again, thanks to integlikewhoa for his assistance

@clsanchez77 Can you help me with the Wayne Dalton Homelink?? I have UI7 and cannot get the device to work at all. I can pair the device, but after assigning scenes to buttons, the Vera doesn’t respond at all. If you could tell me what unit you are using, the firmware, and any other advice that would be great. I’m getting ready to reset to UI5 and with the new geofence on the UI7 & Mobile app supported now, I would like to try and move forward.
I was able to set up my first PLEG to enable two Monoprice locks to lock themselves after 10 minutes. This was after banging my head against a brick wall for several hours because apparently there is a super secret way you need to enable Actions in PLEG in UI7. Thanks to this forum I was able to get the secret handshake before I lost my mind.
Brand new user here! I got the Vera Edge yesterday, did a firmware update, got it on my network.
Today, now… Today was a big day! I took my 50ft Cat 6 cable, and went to work! I got my ceiling fan switch (the pricey wall switch), and ceiling fan light dimmer working! Not too difficult. The fan control worked right away. The fan light dimmer took a couple of tries, but it worked.
THEN I went to work on my front and back doors, which have the Schlage touchscreen motorized deadbolts. The back door went perfectly. The front door - I had to exclude and then reset the lock, and try again, and that works. My dogs are not amused with me sitting in my studio and making the locks work.
I’m still working on my Honeywell Vista 15P Security system with the Envisalink3 plugin, but that’s happening in another thread.
I ALSO made a spreadsheet of the $1,800 worth of switches and things I need for the REST of the house. Not, however, all at once.

HA is like a wildfire…it spreads quickly!!! My $1200 initial investment has swelled to around $5K now!
Yeah, I started a spreadsheet just like that in October and it just keeps growing. I haven’t reached Vodden level yet but I’ve blown your budget. You know it’s only a budget if you stick to it.
