So for the last 2 years I have been running a Vera 3 with a Yale door lock and kwikset door lock. I also have Sonos throughout the house, Philips Hue throughout the house, and a couple cameras of different makes (Foscam and Grandstream). The Vera 3 just wasn’t cutting it for me. So I decided to make…

The ability to add my Foscam cameras it what pushed me over the edge to investing in Smartthings. I was able to add them via the developer interface and have them arm and disarm based on certain rules. Huge plus!

The lack of pin code support still blows my mind. Both vera and revolv have this and the locks are even sold in the ST store. Shame in an otherwise great system.

Hello, there! Thanks for posting details on your experience moving from Vera to ST. I wonder if you can give me some help. I am trying to move from a Vera 2 setup to my recently acquired ST Hub. Most of my devices are Z-Wave. I am going through the (very) tedious process of un-enrolling each devi…

Thank you, Mike and Michel, especially for the quick replies!! I followed Michel’s instructions to make the ST Hub join the Vera Z-Wave Network - if it all works according to plan, I may not even need to follow Mike’s instruction. Now, how do I actually clone the Vera’s setup over to ST? Did I mi…

Just to be clear, you are transitioning the “z-wave devices” not the “z-wave config”. I.e. if you have specific programming (scenes) on your Vera, these will NOT come across. As such you will need to reconfigure these on the SmartThings either via the dashboard, or via the IDE (especially if you w…

Wow, this is so dumb and useful. I had no idea.

For the Aeon micros, ten toggles of the switch within 1 second or so puts them in pairing mode.
