Just returned my veralite and got a vera 3. It is now showing up as a lock but I can not figure out how to get it to lock or unlock it says ERROR: lock isnt configured. And I have no idea about getting RFID to work. Also how can I see the name and pins I already put in? Any help would be great.
UPDATE: Just noticed I was on UI5. Where do I go to update to 6? Should I move to 7? Will all my setting/devices move over when upgraded?
UPDATE 2: Tried UI6 and did not help. Went back to 5 and fiddled with it and got it to lock and unlock from the device but can not lock or unlock from GUI. I get a LOCK isn’t configured. And then unable to get any information on node.
It seems like vera can not talk to it but it can talk to vera. Can’t get rfid to work either. Here are some screen shots for the settings maybe there is something I can change.
No, hopefully not. The number of combinations is 1398016. Probably you talk about combinations with only 4 digits but you can have 5,6,7,8,9 or 10 digits ! “1234321” for example is a valid combination (7 digits).
So, the total is 4^4 + 4^5 + 4^6 + 4^7 + 4^8 + 4^9 + 4^10 = 1.398.016
I wonder if anyone has successfully added more than one tag to the device. I plan to order one but only if I can add multiple tags. Stef3569’s method seems ok, did anyone try this to add multiple tags?
I managed to get the keypad working on my vera lite under UI7. However I don’t see how I can get to have the functions “lock” and “unlock”. At present, I have a working pin code that I can use with the “home” button. (With of course the possibility to incorporate this into scenes like disarming the alarm)
I’d like to have the functionality of the “away” button too, to arm the alarm. But how can I do this?
I didn’t get the lock/unlock options either and I think that’s because it’s installed as a keypad, rather than a lock. This isn’t a problem though.
I setup a scene to run when the alarm was armed but it didn’t appear to work which sounds like what you’re getting. To resolve this I created a watcher which runs a simple function when the “Status” variable is changed. It then runs a scene depending on whether the alarm has been armed or disarmed.
luup.variable_watch("alarmStatusChanged", "urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:DoorLock1", "Status", HOUSE_ALARM)
function alarmStatusChanged()
local alarm_status = luup.variable_get("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:DoorLock1", "Status", HOUSE_ALARM)
if (isAlarmArmed(HOUSE_ALARM)) then
runScene(26)
else
runScene(27)
end
end
function isAlarmArmed(device)
local status = luup.variable_get("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:DoorLock1","Status", device)
return (status == "1")
end
By default the notification will sound for 15 seconds. This can be changed by setting Device Option 2 (type 1 Byte Dec) to the number of seconds you would like. You can stop the sound by issuing the same action but replace 255 (ON) with 0 (OFF).
Bear in mind that this notification will only really be usful when arming the alarm (i.e. to inform the user that the alarm has been set) because you can only fire the notification sound when the device has been woken up, which only occurs when a code has been entered and is being validated, so you can’t use it to inform someone returning home that the alarm needs to be unset for example. This is the downside of battered powered devices.

how did you do to make it work with Vera Lite in UI7 ?

Im totaly new at this…
Can anyone help me where I should put this code to get this function to work?
I managed to install the keypad with the plugin ActiveRFID. It works great to activate my alarm but I can’t see if it’s armed or not. Have anyone solved this by getting the indicator light to blink while armed (away)?
Hello DubbelAdam
Can you give us details of what setup you have? I have the VeraEdge running UI7…Were you able to setup more than one RFID Tag? Did the “Home” & “Away” buttons works as well, or just the RFID? Same question for the Keypad… Thx!
Received my Zipato Mini Keypad today but can’t seem to include it on my Vera Edge running UI7 v.1.7.1018.
I remove the back cover, press and hold the tamper switch. Get a muffled -…-…----- (-=“beep”, .=pause) and then nothing. If I then release the switch I get another ----- but the Vera doesn’t find any new devices.
Is there a trick getting the Vera recognizing the keypad?
Seems to have solved the problem with including the device. I pressed too long! Just a short press on the keypad until the red LED on the front light up was enough.
Seems I can add PIN codes and register RFID tabs now using the app UI.
To use the keypad I press the home or away button, enter a PIN or swipe a RFID tab and my Vera change Mode to either Home or Away.
I can also use the kepad as a trigger in scenes or in PLEG. Limited functionality though, e.g. I can’t use the home and away buttons themselves as triggers (would be nice to use the device as a scene controller).
The MAIN problem I have now is I can’t find any way of NOT having the keypad trigger a change in House Mode! I would prefer to use the device as a scene trigger or using PLEG. Now the device ALWAYS seems to switch UI7 House Modes natively. Don’t know how or if this is possible to deactivate.
I just became a cyborg and implanted a Mifare Ultralight C RFID chip in my hand?
The reason behind it was (amongst other things, like using my hand instead of my RFID tag at work) to be able to lock my smart home using the RFID Tag Reader. However, the tag reader doesn’t seem to recognize the chip when I try to add it.
I just installed the zipato mini keypad in my Vera Edge with firmware 1.7.1181. Works like a charm! Immediately recognized as a keypad when adding it as a generic z-wave device, and easy setup regarding the rfid tag or keycodes, all self explanatory.
It seems you can add multiple rfid tags, as it looks like in the device setup possibilities, but since I have only one for the moment, can?t say this for sure. I did add already two keycodes, and they work flawlessly, giving info on the users, possibilities of email notifications etc, very nice.
Just ordered a few more tags, will let you know as soon as it works!
For the moment I have it working with the house modes plugin, but just saw it works directly as well into scene mode without it…
When I set it to away mode, one of my hue lamps lights up for 10 secs in red, then switches off. When asking for home mode, light will go green, and then to normal color.
Totally happy with it, only “complaints” from my side would be that a keypad with only 4 digits, is a pity (but not a problem), and the little box does not seem to be very sturdy or well fixed to its backing. For the rest all works well. Again, as soon as I have my extra tags, will let you know!
UPDATE:
The new tags arrived, and they can be added without a problem to the keypad!!! All working well, be it that the keypad uses quite some battery (although it is not used that much). I am at 44 percent since installing it…
Is it possible to use this pad to lock and unlock a door latch via pin codes or tags? I have a rental property and I would like to use it as access to the property with a code that I could generate remotely for every guest that I have. When the customer leaves I would like to remove the used code, and generate a new code for the next guest. All of this I have to be able to do remotely.
How did you add the other RFID tags? I’m using the Benext Tag reader and i’m a little lost
