Super simple setup
To get going, just plug Vera in, and then from any web browser in the home go to findvera.com. It really is that simple. There's no software to install or codes to enter. And Vera includes videos that show you everything Vera can do and exactly how to do it.
Secure, simple access from anywhere
After you plugin Vera and go to findvera.com you click the link 'Hosted Services' and type in a user name and password. That's it. Really. Then from any web browser you can go to findvera.com and be connected to your Vera with that user name and password. It uses the same security on-line banks use to protect your transactions, so nobody can get in and control your home or look at your cameras without your password. If you give Vera your mobile phone number, she'll send you a text message that contains a handy remote control application for your phone. **
Works with all Z-Wave devices
Vera includes a Z-Wave stick that you carry around the house with you when you turn on Z-Wave devices like lamp modules, in-wall light switches, thermostats, power strips, alarm sensors, garage door openers, and window coverings.
Professional installation
Some Z-Wave devices, like lamp modules, anybody can just plug in. But if you want to replace your light switches or thermostat, we can install a system that will do everything for you. We also sell complete high-end home control, security and home theater solutions. Just tell us what your needs are and we'll set you up
Real-time and historic energy usage
Vera constantly tracks how much energy you are using. Every time you turn on a light, or lower the thermostat, Vera logs it and calculates how much energy is being used. Vera then shows you simple, visual charts of your energy usage: in which rooms the energy is being used, by which types of appliances, at which times of day, and day of the week, and so on.
Full-featured home automation made simple
If you thought home automation was complicated then you've never seen Vera. With Vera even a total novice can do everything you'd expect from a high-end home automation system:
Scenes: Point and click to create scenes, like "Leave for Work" which turns off all the lights and lowers the thermostat, or "Watch a movie" which dims the lights, closes the blinds, and turns on the TV and cable box.
Events: Examples are: "when this motion detector is tripped, turn on this light for 5 minutes", or "turn on the porch light at sunset", or "notify me when this sensor is tripped".
Timers: Such as "Turn off the inside lights at 8am", "Lower the thermostat on work-days at 10am".
Notifications: Vera can send you a text message, email, or call you on the phone when certain things happen that you want to be notified of. For example, if a sensor is tripped, or if the lights are still on after everybody left the house.
