## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
To use Vera devices in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file using the IP and port number of your Vera controller:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
vera:
|
||||
vera_controller_url: http://192.168.1.161:3480/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
{% configuration %}
|
||||
vera_controller_url:
|
||||
description: The URL for your Vera device.
|
||||
required: true
|
||||
type: string
|
||||
{% endconfiguration %}
|
||||
|
||||
<div class='note'>
|
||||
|
||||
It is recommended to assign a static IP address to your Vera Controller. This ensures that it won't change IP addresses, so you won't have to change the `vera_controller_url` if it reboots and comes up with a different IP address. See your router's manual for details on how to set this up. If you need the MAC address of your Vera, check the label on the bottom.
|
||||
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
### Configure devices
|
||||
1. From the Home Assistant front-end, navigate to 'Configuration' then 'Integrations'. Under 'Set up a new integration' locate 'Vera' and click 'Configure'.
|
||||
2. Enter the URL for the controller and click 'Submit'.
|
||||
|
||||
By default your switches will be added to Home Assistant as switches, however, if some of them are light switches, you can tell Home Assistant this using the optional `lights` parameter as shown below.
|
||||
## Options
|
||||
Once the Vera integration is configured, you can set additional options in the integration, click the gear icon.
|
||||
|
||||
Vera imports detailed Z-Wave devices into Home Assistant. This can include system devices and other devices that you don't use; you can tell Home Assistant not to load these devices using the `exclude:` parameter as shown below.
|
||||
- Vera switch device - By default your switches will be added to Home Assistant as switches, however, if some of them are light switches, you can tell Home Assistant this by providing a list of light ids.
|
||||
- Vera device ids to exclude - Vera imports detailed Z-Wave devices into Home Assistant. This can include system devices and other devices that you don't use; you can tell Home Assistant not to load these devices by providing a list of device ids.
|
||||
|
||||
You can find the Vera device id either via the advanced properties of the device in the Vera UI or by checking the `Vera Device Id` attribute on each device imported into Home Assistant (under the developer tools).
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
vera:
|
||||
vera_controller_url: http://192.168.1.161:3480/
|
||||
# Optional to exclude devices - this is a list of vera device ids
|
||||
exclude: [ 13, 14, 16, 20, 23, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 88, 89, 99]
|
||||
# Optional to import switches as lights - this is a list of vera device ids
|
||||
lights: [15, 17, 19, 21, 22, 24, 26, 43, 64, 70, 87]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Using Z-Wave devices in automation
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use a Z-Wave device from the Vera controller in Home Assistant automation, you'll need the entity id. In the Home Assistant UI you'll find all entities listed under the <img src='/images/screenshots/developer-tool-states-icon.png' alt='service developer tool icon' class="no-shadow" height="38" /> icon of the Developer Tools section. Look for entities that contain 'Vera Device Id' in their attributes, and you'll find the entity id on the left.
