So you want to add a person to your Vera Controller.
You should add a new user account if you have anyone who wants to use your Vera Automation Controller with a computer or mobile device. If they are currently using someone else's user credentials, it may cause problems.
Here is how to do it.
You must be an account administrator to do this. If you are not, please contact your Vera Controller administrator for advisement.
1. Log into your controller.
2. Go to the menu and click on the "Users & Account Info" button.

3. Then click on the "Other Users" button.​

4. Then Click "Add User" (Top Right)

4. Then add a user name.
5. Then add a user email address.
6. ​Then add a user password.
    Password must be at least 8 characters long and include.
    Include at least one lower case letter.
    Include at least one upper case letter or number.
    Include at least one special character. 
7. Document this information for logging into the Vera from another device. 
    Please copy and paste this information to document it.

8. Then select an account access level.
    Please read the details of the account levels. 
    There is a simpler image below to understand this.
   If you plan on using the Geofence for this person you must select at least "Advanced User" or Account Administrator for the access level.

9. Click the add user button (Lower Right), to add the user to your Vera Controller.

Make sure you document your credentials so you can easily log into your Vera with this users credentials you just created.
I use a free password manager called Bitwarden to do this and it works very well.

From a computer with internet access, do the following. 

1. Click on this link. 
   (Save this link as you need it to log into your user interface again in the future.)
2. In the green section, enter your User Name. 
3. In the green section, enter your password.
4. Check the "Remember User Name" box.
5. Click on the "Login" button. 
   You should now be logged into your account and see all of the controllers attached to your account. 
   If we installed your system, you should see an address or home or business name with each controller.
   NOTE: You may see a secondary controller listed only with it's serial number. This is usually a secondary controller attached to a master controller. You will not need to connect to that controller.​​
6. Click the "Connect" button. It may take a few seconds to a minute to fully log into your controller so be patient.

​Scroll down to see directions on how to use your new controller.

From an Android tablet or phone, do the following,

1. First, try clicking on this link.
   ​It may open up your app store to the Vera App you need to install. If it does, please go to step #4. If it did not take you directly to the app, please continue.
2. Open up your App store. (For Google it is called the "Play Store")
3. Search for "Vera Mobile" App. (Its icon is a green square with a "V" on it.)
4. Install the app.
5. Once the app is installed, open the app.
6. Log in with your user name and password provided.

Scroll down to see directions on how to use your new controller.

Dashboard
The Dashboard page is where you can see your controllers alerts, mode information, device shortcuts and any favorites you have created.

• Alerts are notifications of door windows opening and closing and locks locking and unlocking.
• Modes are sets or predefined rules that can happen when you place the controller in that particular mode. The available modes are Home, Away, Night, Vacation.
• Device Shortcuts are buttons that can make multiple devices do something with the touch of one button.
  Example, Turn all your lights on with one button push.
  Examle, Lock all of your doors with one button push.
• Favorites are a list of devices attached to your controller that have the star selected by you or the user. When the star is selected, they appear here in the favorites list.

Devices
The devices page is where you will find all of the devices connected to your controller.
You can sort these devices by room, type and list.
​Please scroll down to learn more about devices.

Camera
The camera page is where you will see any cameras attached to your controller.
​Clicking on the camera image will give you the options for that camera and make the camera picture bigger.

Geofencing (Mobile Only)
The Geofencing page is where your geofencing is set up.
Your geofence is the a fence drawn around your home where leaving and entering it will cause your homes mode to change.
Please do not go into this section unless you know what you are doing.

Scenes
The scenes page is where your scenes reside.
Scenes are predetermined instructions based on certain events.
A scene may consist of turning a light on at 7PM every day.
This is where your homes intelligence is and where events are controlled from.
To play a scene, tap the play button.
To edit a scene, tap the pencil and edit that scene.
To add a scene, tap the + Add a Scene button and fill out the necessary information.

Operation
Now let's learn a bit about your devices and how you can control them.
​Let's go back to the "Devices" section.
​
​Go ahead and explore. Feel free to turn on and off your devices. Please remember that your home controller communicates wirelessly to your devices. Being wireless, these devices may not react instantly. Take your time and give the controller time to react and gather its thoughts so to say. Be patient as there is a lot going on in the background.

​​You might have different devices on your system or different devices attached to your system. Below are some examples.
​If you are an administrator on your account, please DO NOT DELETE or REMOVE any devices from your system.

Electric Door Lock
If you have a electric door lock, you can see it's current status, it's battery level, lock it, unlock it and possibly set a pin for people to use. 

• Clicking on the "Locked" slider will Lock/ Unlock the door.
• The picture if the lock will change when the status of the lock changes.
• Clicking on the right arrow then, if available, "Pin Codes" will take you to the pin codes section. 
• The battery indicator show the approximate battery level of the device.
• ​Clicking the star and turning yellow will put it in your favorites section.

(Please keep in mind that these locks use batteries and locking it and unlocking it will shorten the battery life quicker.)

Thermostat
If you have a thermostat, you can see the current temperature of the home and control your HVAC (Heater/Vent/Air Conditioner) as if you were standing right there.

• The top temperature read out next to the word "Inside" is the current temperature at the location of the thermostat.
• The bigger numbers above the red arrows are the heat temperature set point, or below this is what temperature the heater will kick on.
• The bigger numbers above the blue arrows are cool temperature set point, or above this is what temperature the air conditioner will kick on.
• Now wee see the temp inside the home is 76F degrees.
• The heater and air conditioner are set to on and will start heating at a temp below 70F degrees and cooling when it gets above 75F degrees.
• You can adjust the temperature up and down with the arrows.
• You can set the HVAC units mode by tapping on the appropriate mode on the right side.
• There may be a battery indicator show the approximate battery level of the device.
• ​Clicking the star and turning yellow will put it in your favorites section.

It seems there are some differences on how some mobile devices handle their GPS locations with other apps on that device therefore your experience with a geofence can be different depending on the device and service you use.
We suggest using a minimum radius of 150m but if you are experiencing your geofence triggering when you are inside your fence, or delays in scenes triggering when entering or leaving, we suggest you take it to 300m or more. This will give your control system time to get the signal that you have entered or left your geofence.
It is pretty easy to do this.

1. Open your Vera Mobile app on the mobile device you use to leave and enter your geofence.
2. Select "Menu" (Top Left)
3. Select "Geofence"
4. Tap on the pencil icon to the right of your geofence.
5. Use the slider to adjust the radius of the geofence or type the number you would like the radius to be.
   In this case we just type 300 in the box to the left of the slider.
6. Click "Save" on the bottom of the geofence page.
7. Your done.

​If you would like to see how big your fence is now become, hit the "Back" (Top Left) after saving and you can see the map and how big your fence now is in relation to the roads near your home.

If you would like to turn on of off notifications when entering and leaving your fence, check the "Notify" box.
Make sure the "This is my home" box is checked if you would like mode changes based on actions with this geofence.

This entry will show you how to get your Smartthings hub to work with the dual relays we use our lineup of Z-Wave Outdoor Motion Lighting. (Monoprice 11990 & Vision ZL7432)
First let me say that I am not a ST user nor do we have a ST hub, so we have no way to test our products with this controller and these instructions but apparently they do work.

Apparently the Smartthings hub is not equipped to work with these relays that have multi channel command classes built in them. Our entire lineup of Outdoor Z-Wave Motion Sensing Lights went to version 2 a few months back and now uses a multi channel command class to communicate with the controller and for some reason, ST does not know how to handle this without a new handler.
First, let me thank JustInTime over at Github for putting this together.
Here is his post.
​
Here are the instructions.
Custom Device Type for Monoprice 11990 Dual Relay Module
The code in this repository will interface with the Monoprice 11990 module in a way that allows both switches to report near real-time status back to the SmartThings Hub. SmartThings ships with a "Z-Wave Device MultiChannel" device type that will (sorta) work, but you'll quickly find that switch 2 doesn't update it's status in the SmartThings app. This device type will do just that.
The bulk of the work for this was done by Eric Maycock for the Philio PAN04 module. All I did was remove the parts that didn't work with the Monoprice module and publish it. Special thanks go to him for all of his work.
Installation:
Install the Custom Device TypeFirst, we need to install the custom device type into your SmartThings account. Don't worry, this won't hurt a bit.

1. Go ahead and install the module, and let SmartThings set it up as a "Z-Wave Device Multichannel".
2. Copy the code from monoprice-11990-dual-relay-module.groovy into your clipboard.
3. Log into your developer account at https://graph.api.smartthings.com/ You can sign up for a new account if you don't already have one. This site is referred to as "the IDE" from here out.
4. Click "My Device Types", then "New Device Type", then click the "From Code" tab.
5. Paste in the code you copied to your clipboard, and click the "Create" button.
6. From the resulting page, click the "Save" button, then click the "Publish" button, and click "For Me" from the dropdown.
7. You've now installed the custom device type, now you need to associate it with your Monoprice relay.

Associate the Custom Device Type with the Monoprice Relay ModuleOnce the custom device type is published in your own library, we need to actually associate it with your Monoprice device. We'll be doing all of this work in the IDE as well.

1. Click "My Devices". Click on the name of your Monoprice device. The device will have "Z-Wave Device MultiChannel" in the "Type" column.
2. Click the "Edit" button.
3. On the resulting page, click the "Type" dropdown. Scroll all the way to the bottom, and select "Monoprice 11990 Dual Relay Module".
4. Click the "Update" button.

Congratulations, you're done setting up the device! Go ahead and test it out by toggling the switches from the SmartThings app as well as from the switches themselves. Make sure everything's working as planned before moving onto the SmartApp installation.
Install the dual relay adapter SmartAppSmartThings doesn't really allow you to interact with the individual switches on a multichannel device very well. So, we'll be creating two "virtual switches". These virtual switches will look like a normal on/off switch to the SmartThings app, but in reality will just be associated to one of the two switches on our relay.
Installing the virtual switches

1. From the IDE, click "My Devices", and click the "New Device" button.
2. In the "Name" field, add whatever you want this switch to be called, ie "Front Porch Light"
3. Leave "Label" and "Zigbee Id" blank.
4. For "Device ID", pick an ID that you haven't used before. I recommend using a UUID for this purpose.
5. Under "Type", select "Simulated Switch" from the dropdown.
6. Under "Version", select "Published".
7. Pick the correct values for your setup under "Location" and "Hub".
8. Leave "Group" blank.
9. Repeat steps 1-8 for your 2nd switch

Installing the SmartApp

1. Copy the code from dual-relay-adapter.groovy into your clipboard.
2. From the IDE, click "My SmartApps", then "New SmartApp", then click the "From Code" tab.
3. Paste in the code you copied to your clipboard, and click the "Create" button.
4. From the resulting page, click the "Save" button, then click the "Publish" button, and click "For Me" from the dropdown.
5. You've now installed the SmartApp to your account, now to set it up!

Configuring the SmartApp

1. Now, grab your phone, and open up the SmartThings app.
2. Touch the "Marketplace" icon in the lower right of the app -- it looks like an asterisk.
3. Touch the "SmartApps" tab at the top of the page.
4. Touch "My Apps", it's at the bottom of the list.
5. Touch "Dual Relay Adapter".
6. You'll be prompted with the question "Which Dual Relay Module?". Here, select whatever you named your relay (the one with two switches).
7. For the "Virtual Switch to link to Switch 1?" and "Virtual Switch to link to Switch 2?" questions, just pick the virtual switches that we created above.
8. Assign this instance of the SmartApp a name.
9. Touch "Done"

Congratulations, you've done it!!! You can now assign your virtual switches to a room, and toggle them on and off just like normal light switches. They can be used in other SmartApps and Routines, just like any other on/off switch.
