The [Vera](http://getvera.com) hub is a controller mainly connecting to Z-Wave devices.
|
|
|
|
Switches, Lights (inc Dimmers), Locks, Sensors and Binary sensors are supported - and will be automaticaly added when HA connects to your Vera controller.
|
|
|
|
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/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<p 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.
|

|
|
|
By default your switches will be added to HA as switches, however if some of them are light switches, you can tell HA this using the optional ```lights``` parameter as shown below.
|
|
|
|
Vera imports detailed zwave devices into HA - this can include system devices and other devices that you don't use, you can tell HA not to load these devices using the ```exclude:``` parameter as shown below.
|
|
|
|
You can find the vera device id either by looking at your vera controller - or by checking the ```Vera Device Id``` attribute on each device imported into HA.
|
|
|
|
```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]
|
|
```
