chef 3744 Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 Chef do you control any 433mhz motors, possibly blind motors with Vera? If so what do you use? I keep trying to find window blind motors. I instead had to build my own with Arduino and RC car motors. Totally diy. They work but I'd like to find an option for blind motors which are on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have added an area in the configuration which allows you to put your own IP address to a specific vera. I would first like to apologize that I didn't make it more intuitive and give you a list of possible vera devices on your network. The best I can do without having more than one on my network for testing is to grab the first one the plugin sees on the network automagically. But, you should be able to override the IP with the input and save it. There is one thing I haven't fixed in the UI.

Sammy 734 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Because all logic is offloaded to the AltUI VM which is infinitely more powerful than any Vera, stability is magnitudes better. The only time I have to interact with the Veras is when adding or removing or otherwise manipulating devices. AltUI independently names devices and rooms so basically all admin is done in one place. The devices in the screenshot below are a mix of US and EU Z-wave and Hue, all presented by the same UI. One of the coolest features is the concept of workflows which makes it a breeze to build complex logic. Here is an example of my bathroom fan which is triggered either by humidity or a switch and then runs for 30 minutes or until turned off or as long as the humidity is above a defined percentage: Are you on the micasaverde forum? Is there a link to how to set this up? I'm thinking of running it on a spare i3 NUC I have sitting on my network but not doing much at all beyond Emby Theater. I'm pretty sure it can handle this additional load. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 734 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I have two actual Veras, a US-frequency Edge and an EU-frequency Plus, and a "virtual" one consolidating everything. The Edge runs 10 RCS thermostats, 2 First Alert smoke detectors and 2 ZooZ motion sensors. The Plus runs some 50 devices, mostly Fibaro, Qubino and Z-wave.me light switches and dimmers, an Aeotech siren and a Yale door lock. There are no plugins, apps, add ons, scenes or or other logic on either. Both are strictly for sending commands to devices. All scenes and other logic are handled by AltUI/OpenLuup, a "virtual" controller which mimicks a Vera, running on a separate Debian VM which also hosts HA Bridge for Hue, Harmony and Alexa devices. This is the one which will connect to Emby. Nice! I also use HABridge! I'm really interested in that VM Vera server you mentioned. That sounds awesome, I didn't know it existed. Tonight I'll add the extra functionality to the plugin and get it working! ME TOO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Pool Control Plugin and would need to somehow do the HTML commands in openLuup and wouldn't have a clue where to start with that. It won't be able to do much without a Vera as it isn't a z-wave controller. And yes you can run scenes and logic on both but the main rationale is to offload all that to openLuup because it can run on much more powerful hardware.

cw-kid 192 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) Hi @@chef I am trying out the Camera plug-in for the first time but all I get in Emby is a spinning circle no camera video feed. I have used VLC to test I am using the correct rtsp URL which I am as it works fine in VLC. rtsp://192.168.1.20:554/ch0_0.h264 I have tried accessing the camera feed in Emby via Chrome browser on my laptop and via the Emby app for Android, both do the same thing just a spinning circle all the time. I've also tried turning off the Windows firewall on the PC that is running Emby server but no change. I then checked that my routers firewall had port forwarding rules set for the IP camera which it does. In the Camera plug-in I then tried changing the RTSP UTL to use my external domain name instead of the internal IP of the camera etc. Again this address worked OK in VLC player. After editing the URL in the Emby camera plug-in to use my external domain name, now when I try and access the camera from Emby clients, I still just get a spinning circle. I've also tried restarting the Emby server software to no avail. Any ideas why it might not be working ? Thanks EDIT: ffmpeg is running on the server whilst I am getting the spinning circle. If in Chrome browser I view source and go to the network tab I can see this long URL: https://MYDOMAINNAME:8920/emby/videos/e459fd5bd495b70ace41cc4f76c7ffcc/live.m3u8?DeviceId=03accc5656bd883c16b58e63e824210a66d275fa&MediaSourceId=d68aadde18be8dcb4f1fde0411add2c4&VideoCodec=h264&AudioCodec=mp3,aac&VideoBitrate=225690353&AudioBitrate=192000&PlaySessionId=647fe95ce8444e21bc4d93ef2292d34b&api_key=a0b529c33563449ab8189c85faeb6574&CopyTimestamps=false&TranscodingMaxAudioChannels=2&EnableSubtitlesInManifest=false&RequireAvc=true&RequireNonAnamorphic=false&SegmentContainer=ts&MinSegments=1&BreakOnNonKeyFrames=True&TranscodeReasons=ContainerNotSupported&h264-profile=high,main,baseline,constrainedbaseline,high10&h264-level=51&h264-deinterlace=true ContainerNotSupported Maybe its a transcoding issue with Emby and my camera ? EDIT 2: If I put that long URL in to Chrome browser eventually it says "Error starting ffmpeg" Yet I can see the ffmpeg process is running in task manager on the server.
