TheaterExtreme Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 jillmark99C4 GuruPosted Today, 06:49 PMYou need to have all the zwave devices already identified to the Vera controller and confirm they are working with the Vera app. Once this is done then add each of the devices in composer, such as a light switch, then add the room and device name to the driver. Refresh navigators and they will appear and should work. So I do need to have scenes set up for Vera to work? Because I can see the items in the Vera... But it says Waiting for wakeup to configure device.... but there are numbers in the humidity field and the light sensor and temp fields...... it SURELY is NOT C4!!!

No you wouldn't need scenes - but if you can't get the devices to work from Vera - there's no use in trying from Control4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haveitall Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I have several switches, sensors and thermostats working through vera. Works great. But if you are trying to use the hsm100 multisensors - good luck. They never worked consistently for me on vera, and they don't do any better in C4.

melfeky Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Guys .. does anyone have a link to the Vera driver to integrate it with control4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillmark99 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 It's in Composer. Just search VERA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's what I have: I have connected a control4 dimmer to vera as a generic zigbee device (just to test), it works on Vera with a huge delay. I want Control4 to use the device through Vera. Any idea how to do that? what driver should I add? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THawes Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 The process is: Get the Vera hub connected in Control4 Add a device to the Vera hub Add a generic ZWave Switch or Dimmer driver to Control4 (depending on what you added in Step 1) Add the proper Room/Device info on the Properties tab for that generic switch/dimmer/etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melfeky Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Thanks ! But How do I do the connections is composer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vera is connected on the Vera driver properties tab, by providing the IP address. The devices are connected just like I stated in step 4 above and it will populate the Device ID from the Vera controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have connected my control4 adaptive phase dimmer to Vera for testing purposes. It works fine through vera. However, when I add a c4 dimmer driver, nothing in the properties appears to be related to connections. I tried searching "generic zigbee dimmer" in the driver tab with no success.

Cyknight Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 The vera driver assumes it's there for ZWave, so there isn't a generic 'zigbee' driver - just a zwave one which is what you'd have to try and use. What you're attempting to do however is far beyond the books and intended use of both the Vera (or perhaps I should say the C4 dimmer) as well as the Vera Driver.

Other than a proof of concept, I've gotta ask why you'd want to connect the APD to the Vera instead of Control4, if you already have a Control4 system? You'll loose out on some features of the APD for sure and over-complicate the setup. As @Cyknight said, there are no generic "ZigBee" drivers, only ZWave ones. In theory those may still work for you as you only need to populate the Room and Device name fields, and Control4 will get the Device ID through its connection to the Vera driver.

It was merely a proof of concept to understand my options as well as my limits. FYI, I tried the Zwave driver but it didn't work with the APD.
