Action File Help for Veralite UI5

[casmo 2]

Hi, 

 I'm using a Veralite UI5.  I can create the scenes for different lighting levels, I'm just unclear as to how to create the the action file to trigger them. 

Any help would be much appreciated.. 

 

Many thanks

Hey there! We created a handy guide to help understand what Action Files are currently capable of. You'll find it here:

Is there any documentation for the Vera API that you have access to? I'd be happy to help build some Actions, but I need to know how to interact with Vera to do it. A while back, another user helped me build a group of Actions for their Vera controller (of a different make). I've attached them to the post. Let me know if those work for you.

Thats great, thanks. The "http://<vera-ip>:3480/data_request?id=sdata&output_format=xml"  worked fine so hopefully the actions will too.

Excellent! If you have time, how would you feel about putting together a guide for how to set up the Veralite UI5? Once you verify the Actions all work, I'll put them up in the downloads section. With the Actions and a guide, it'll help people get started with Vera home automation and CinemaVision much faster.

Hi, 

 I've actually just ordered the zwave dimmer module for my theatre room, was just planning ahead! I'll come back to you when I've got it up and running.
