There are also two useful pages in the wiki documentation:

For plugin configuration instructions, see: http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Vera_Configuration

The above page needs a bit more updating to fully reflect additional features added to the plugin with the VC 1.1.8.8 release, but still is a good overview of the important stuff.

For a complete list of Vera plugin actions available as of VC 1.1.8.8, see: http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Plugin_Vera (as always, this list can also be accessed via the action selection tree when you're building your commands).

Hello all,

I have been using vera for a few years now. Now that Ezlo aquired Vera and made it's own Ezlo line, could we also integrate Ezlo API with Vox Commando? If there is anyway I can assist please let me know!

Note: I've been using Vera Plus and now bought an Ezlo Plus. The old Vera method doesn't exist in Ezlo, they made it more cloud based and you can disable authentication via Cloud API GUI.

Cheers,
Powers

I did not like the direction Ezlo was going so I switched to Hubitat.  So if the API has changed from what we were using with Vera you will have to use HTTP actions.  I won't be making a plugin for Ezlo, but you probably don't really need one, as long as they have a decent http API.

Here is a starting point.

The simplest thing would probably be to turn off authentication in Ezlo, and then start with something simple to see if you get a response.

You would need to use the correct IP address for you hub.
