It will help you save energy by switching off all lights and unnecessary equipment when you leave. There are thousands of ways to make your home or office more secure and efficient. Vera is designed to let you experiment with all of them until you find the smartest way to live.

Your VeraEdge system can do many different things, depending on the accessories you add to it:

• Build a security system by adding door locks, door/window sensors, motion sensors, wireless video cameras, and sirens.
• Create an energy saving system with thermostats, light dimmers,  and AC controllers.
• Set up a home safety monitoring system with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and flood detectors.
• Make your life more convenient by connecting garage door openers, light switches, and lawn sprinklers that operate automatically.
• Feel free to combine all these functions into one system!
   

VeraEdge controls all leading brands of Z-Wave sensors, locks, thermostats, cameras, switches and other devices so you don't have to worry about compatibility when selecting accessories. The manufacturer has significantly improved their Z-Wave Plus support since the first version of UI7 and they continue to release updates to keep up with the latest technology.  

What's new:

• Faster processor allows greater compatibility with devices
• More memory for better response times and flexibility
• WPS easy push button pairing for Wi-Fi devices
• Improved multi-camera management

• Improved access control with PIN management
• Customizable dashboard - pin your favorite devices for quick monitoring, instant access and control

Installation

 

Plug the unit in and connect it to the Internet with the Ethernet cable provided in the box. Go to VeraControl's website and follow the step-by-step instructions to set up an account and register your controller. Make sure you follow the directions carefully. If you encounter any issues during this process, feel free to contact us or Vera directly (support@getvera.com).

If you come across a screen prompting you to manually enter the serial number and mac address for the unit it is most likely because the you have not updated the Vera's firmware during the setup process. If you’ve missed that step you can always go back and perform the firmware update or use this link: firmware.getvera.com
Another reason for the screen to pop up might be that your Vera is not properly connected to your router. Make sure all indicators on the Vera hub are lit up in green. But when in doubt, you may always contact Vera Control - they have access to all account information ever associated with a given unit by its unique serial number.

Adding devices later is easy too with preconfigured settings for most Z-Wave products. If you can't pair a device, Vera will offer to unpair it first - complete this process to erase any configuration errors which might have occurred during previous pairing attempts.

FIBARO Home Center Lite System

A$649.00 A$584.00

Quick Overview

We have the honor to present you the new dimension of comfort – Home Center Lite, incredibly compact brain of the FIBARO System. Latest creation, designed with your needs in mind. Let it change your life, making it safer and more convenient, and your home intelligent, efficient and comfortable. Little thing – great effect!

 

Product Details

HC Lite is a tiny device with huge potential. Incredibly quick and effective. Control your home from anywhere in the World using a mobile phone or tablet. Begin creating your own world around delights and convenience provided by innovation.

Here is the difference between the Fibaro Home Center 2 and Home Center Lite

Function	Home Center 2	Home Center Lite
Graphical Scene Editor	YES	YES
LUA Programming - for advanced control	YES	NO
Scene Controllers - LUA-based scenes	YES	NO
Virtual Devices - LUA-based	YES	NO
Virtual Devices - Multimedia (HTTP)	YES	YES
Lili - voice control	YES	NO
VOIP - Voice Over IP	YES	NO

LUA Programming

LUA is a programming (scripting) language and is commonly used in home automation controllers to enable users to create more complex control scenes than supported by the controller's Scene editor. The HC2's scene editor enables you to use a graphical-based editor or a LUA-based editor, whereas the HCL only supports a graphical editor.

We feel this is the most important difference between the two controllers - and one that you need to think carefully about.

LUA Scenes

Almost all automation in the Fibaro System is controlled by 'Scenes'. For instance these can make lights turn on when motion is detected at particular times of the day or make several things happen from one simple button press of a remote control. Most of these scenes can be created in Fibaro controller's excellent 'Graphical Scene Editor'. But some more complex scenes are actually much easier to create using a LUA script, and in some extreme cases could only be created using LUA.

LUA is a very useful feature to have, occasionally, a simple LUA script can solve an issue that would have required a complex graphical scene.

Scene Controllers

Some remote controls that act as 'Scene Controllers' need a LUA-based scene to work correctly in the Fibaro Controllers.
Virtual Devices

Virtual devices are what they sound like - devices in the Fibaro controller that aren't linked to physical devices. Virtual devices are very useful for controlling devices via other networks, such as AV equipment that can be controlled from your Wi-Fi/Ethernet system (HTTP). They are also useful to create a simple button in the Fibaro App that can control a number of scenes - quickly and easily.

·         Scene and Device Control (LUA)
To create Virtual devices that control scenes you need to use LUA, therefore, these types of Virtual Devices cannot be created in Home Center Lite.

·        
Remote Control of 3rd Party Products (HTTP & IP)
Virtual Devices can be created that control products via the IP network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet), via HTTP requests. These are fully supported in Home Center Lite as they use a different type of Virtual Device configuration and command protocol (HTTP Strings).

FIBARO Home Center 2 System

A$1,199.00 A$1,062.00

Quick Overview

Home Center 2 is a brain of Fibaro System, or any Z-Wave based home automation system. Home Center 2 redefines Z-Wave based home automation and introduces the real Home Intelligence.
It is not just an electronic device. It's also well designed, innovative and user friendly interface, featuring functions never seen before.

HC2 offers full freedom of control and communication, as it is compatible with majority of mobile phones available on the market. HC2 is compatible with wireless products from nearly 300 independent manufacturers and with all other devices, which may be controlled using systems manufactured by our competitors.

It is compatible with all IP cameras available on the market - upon detecting an incident, the system will send a picture or a video to your mobile phone.

 

It is the only system with a simple configuration interface allowing you to change dependencies between devices, scenes and the entire system intelligence from any computer at any time, without any specialist software or the need to call technical service.

 

Product Highlights

It offers a non-invasive installation process, which eliminates the need to run meters of cables. Our miniaturized modules can be installed in any wall switch box, behind a light switch, roller blind switch, etc., and are compatible with every electrical system.

It is the only system available on the market capable of controlling LED lighting or fluorescent lights in electrical systems without a neutral wire (old-type electrical systems).

Fibaro devices do not connect permanently to building's infrastructure. So, if you wish to redecorate your apartment, take down some walls and change the interior design concept... It's not a problem. Just do it. Simply take out any given module from the wall and install it in a new location. Thanks to mesh network, the module will update its location and resume cooperation with remaining system components.
