Package: python-vera
PyVeraIntroductionPython library to allow communication with a MiCasaVerde Vera.  Operates in
both local and remote mode i.e. you can communicate directly with the Vera from
your home network, or interact with the Vera using your credentials on MCV's
relay servers if you are away from your home network.The library provides Python API access, there are also some command-line
tools, see below.Needs to be running UI7 for remote mode, I believe.I'm using Linux, it may be possible use this stuff in Windows, perhaps.Installpip3 install git+https://github.com/cybermaggedon/pyveraExamples: Writing codeConnect to Veraimport vera

# Local connection using IP address on local network.
ve = vera.VeraLocal("192.168.0.10")

# Remote connection - you need your username, password and device ID.
ve = vera.VeraRemote("username", "password", "1234123456")ConfigureUsing a configuration file.  CreateLUUP-AUTH.json.  Example forms for
local access:{
    "local": {

ve.create_scene(sd)Command-line utilitesIt can be fiddly to manage a heating schedule for a large heating system
through the web interface, so I've got some utilities that allow the schedule
to be stored in a file, and pushed to the Vera.Create a CSV file contain the scheduleSeeSCHEDULE.csvfor a example format.Format is:Scene nameDevice to manage.Type of action to take:
--*heatto manage a heating controller.
--*setto manage a thermostat.
--*switchto operate a simple switch.Value to apply to the device:
--* Forheatuse valuesHeatOnandOff.
--* Forsetusing a floating point temperature value.
--* ForswitchUseOnandOff.The rest of the fields are pairs of days in week, and times.
The days of week are a comma-separated list of digits representing
days 1=Monday etc.  Times are colon-separated 24-hour times.e.g.Ground floor on,Ground floor stat,set,11.0,"1,2,3,4,5",06:30,"1,2,3,4,5",17:30,"6,7",09:30ConfigureCreate a file e.g.AUTH.json.  Example forms for local comms to Vera:{
    "local": {
         "address": "192.168.0.10"
    }
}and for remote:{
  "remote": {
    "user": "USERNAME",
    "password": "PASSWORD",
    "device": "4321987654"
  }
}Also, using the web interface, make sure there's a room for the scenes to be
created in.  When uploading, all scenes in the room get deleted, so you
probably want a separate room e.g. Heating.Create scenesParameters to this utility are the configuration file, and the room name.  The
schedule is read from the standard input.vera-upload-scenes AUTH.json Heating < SCHEDULE.csvIf all works, you should see a set of scenes appear in the web interface.Thevera-upload-scenesutility uses a restricted set of the
scene features, so may get confused if you start creating your own
scenes in the room.Thevera-get-scenesutility returns the scenes as a CSV file...vera-get-scenes AUTH.json Heatingand thevear-delete-scenesutility deletes all scenes in a room...vera-delete-scenes AUTH.json HeatingWeatherThe weather API is reverse-engineered, don't rely on this.vera-get-weather AUTH.json
