BY96 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Hello, I have a Bali Z-Wave shade that I got before I had a C4 system installed. My dealer and I are struggling to figure out how to integrate it. First, we tried Bond Bridge, but the shade uses Z-Wave, not RF. Next, I looked up the Somfy MyLink but I contacted Somfy and they said it does not work with my shade (even though the shade remote is by Somfy). Third, I have read here that a Vera hub is the best option, but I know they are discontinued. I did find a Vera Lite hub on eBay, but am not sure the Lite one works or not. My shade previously linked with my Wink hub before I ditched it for C4 and Lutron Caseta. If anyone knows, would a Vera Lite work for my purposes or is there another option out there? Thank you!!

OceanDad Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Sounds like a perfect use case for this : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BY96 Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 As a follow-up to my question, in prior threads, I noted a lot of suggestions for the Vera hub for Z-Wave products. Right now, all I can find is a Vera Lite on eBay. Will that work for my purposes or do I need a different Vera hub? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnpublic Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 It is a major frustration that Vera got discontinued in favor of EZlo. Also frustrating that C4 can't be bothered/won't expand zwave coverage for its own Zwave dongle. I am pretty sure the Vera Lite will work. I'm using a Vera Plus.

malelan Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 i also use a similar configuration, i use the vera hub that looks like a leaf (green top, white bottom) available on ebay fairly cheap, it uses a very old firmware and i never upgraded, c4 database driver works fine.
