Overview There are over seventeen hundred devices that can work with VeraPlus. VeraPlus Home Controller is the central hub for creating security or smart home scenes. Scenes give you the power to simply and easily customize your Vera controller to work with devices exactly the way you want. Combine devices such as cameras, lighting and sensors to personalize your system’s scenes.
| Device Types SECURITY DEVICES Help Scare Away Intruders They are always on and monitoring your home. However, your VeraPlus system will only report a breach if the sensor is in the “Armed” status. Normally, these sensors are “Armed” in Night, Away and Vacation modes as default settings. (You may change these defaults in the Settings section of the Vera dashboard app.
SAFETY DEVICES Use these for home protection and peace of mind even when away from home. Safety devices are always active and “Armed” regardless of which mode your VeraPlus system is in. If a problem arises, you need to know about it, regardless of whether you’re home, away, asleep or on vacation.
CONVENIENCE & LIFESTYLE DEVICES Use these devices to save energy and money. Eliminate the repetitive tasks in your life like turning lights off, adjusting the thermostat, double checking to make sure the garage door is closed or the daily adjustments of window coverings.
Vera App The Vera App controls your entire VeraPlus system, including all the devices working individually or together. Even if a device has its own app, you won’t need it—use the Vera app instead. The free Vera app runs on smartphones (iOS and Android), tablets, or in a browser on any Windows, Mac, Chromebook or Linux computer. You don’t have to choose between them—use your computer when home and your smartphone when away.
KEY FEATURES OF VERA APP | Modes | Users Modes are a powerful feature that lets you control all your devices at once. There are 4 Modes—Home, Away, Night and Vacation. You can customize how each Mode works. Your Vera system can have as many users as you like. Everyone in your family, or everyone who works in your small business can have a different username and password. The Vera app lets you set permissions and notifications for each user.
| Scenes Control any device based on another device. Turn on an outdoor light when a sensor detects motion. Or set an alert, to get a text whenever a door is opened. Timer scenes use the Controller’s built-in clock to turn devices such as lights and lawn sprinklers on or off. Or use your phone’s location to Geofence. | Geofencing Use your cell phone location to automatically control your system. As you arrive home your garage door will automatically open.
Range Extenders Help Options If a device doesn’t seem to work in its proper location, but you find that your device works when you bring it closer to your VeraPlus controller, you will need to add a repeater or range extender. Repeaters or extenders are used to expand the coverage area of your network. They work by receiving your existing signal, amplifying it and then transmitting the boosted signal. We strive to make VeraPlus and the Vera App easy.
