While fibaro is ignorant regarding z-wave locks....

Hi guys, just noted some questions here.

Added (yesterday) Night Latch (US-model

The idea is the same - any device on Vera can be easily managed.

But, I realized that it is better to add locks and Vera itself in stand-alone mode (not to the single network) and just to manage it remotely. Avoid "slave" controller mode as Fibaro is unreliable (which in not acceptable for security stuff like locks).

This is much better way as Vera is completely independent from HC2 (which is still very buggy).

I.e., add your locks to Vera3 / Lite and control them via virtual devices in HC2.

Code is very basic (note DeviceNum=6 - it means sixth device on Vera3):

Open button:

HC2 = Net.FHttp("172.16.1.111",3480)

response,status,errorCode = HC2:GET("/data_request?id=action&output_format=xml&DeviceNum=6&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:DoorLock1&action=SetTarget&newTargetValue=1")

fibaro:log("Night Latch Lock command sent")

Close button:

HC2 = Net.FHttp("172.16.1.111",3480)

response,status,errorCode = HC2:GET("/data_request?id=action&output_format=xml&DeviceNum=6&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:DoorLock1&action=SetTarget&newTargetValue=0")

fibaro:log("Night Latch Unlock command sent")

Request status and change icon:

local selfId = fibaro:getSelfId();

HC2 = Net.FHttp("172.16.1.33",3480)

response,status,errorCode = HC2:GET("/data_request?id=variableget&DeviceNum=6&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:DoorLock1&Variable=Status")

fibaro:log(response)

if response == "0" then

fibaro:log(status)

fibaro:call(selfId, "setProperty", "currentIcon", "1004")

--fibaro:log("lock opened" )

else

fibaro:call(selfId, "setProperty", "currentIcon", "1003")

-- fibaro:log("lock closed")

end

fibaro:sleep(60*1000);

Exactly the same idea can be used for virtually any Vera device including RFXcom (I'm managing my LWRF sockets on HC2 via Vera3 RFXcom plugin)

Hi Shapa, 

Can you explain how to add the virtual device settings?, maybe a screen shot of the code you used

Thanks

Hello,

 

I try to add my Vera as secondary controller because of the integration with my Logitech Hub. But I mis the zwave version 2.78 in Vera. When I put the Fibaro HC2 in learn mode, it can't find my Vera 3? Anybody tried this already with the latest versions/firmwares?

[akatar 208]

can you use a vera as a secondary controller? (anyone @ fibaro)
