Several of my Vera devices don't show up

Configuration
1

I’m new to Home Assistant and it looks very promising. I have had a VeraLite for a while. I added the Vera component and some of the devices show up, but some don’t. I deleted a bunch of plugins that I wasn’t really using to make it less confusing and I end up with 24 devices, as follows:

sensors: 4 of 4 show up
lights: 1 of 4
outlets: 3 of 3
locks: 0 of 2
thermostats: 0 of 2
remote keypads: 0 of 2

The other 7 devices were created by plugins. I edited the config file to “exclude” everything other than the sensors, lights and outlets, to see if one of the other items was unsupported and causing things to stop working. The 3 missing lights still do not show up.

Am running HA 0.24.1 in a Docker on an unRAID server. The logs I could find show no errors related to Vera (just some stuff about owntracks I need to debug separately).

Any suggestions please?

Nobody any ideas? Is there any way I can control Vera devices manually rather than using the component?

What Vera UI are you using? I’ve heard UI7 is needed. I’m still running UI5 and dimmers and locks don’t show up.

Also Vera is really good about responding to URL calls. I do a lot of virtual switches and scene launching between Hass, Vera, and SmartThings.

Thank you for the answer. I am using a VeraLite on UI5. I have been reluctant to upgrade due to reported problems with memory on VeraLite and bugginess in general.

Well well. So I decided to risk it knowing I could revert if necessary. Now, the lights are all there, the locks are there, but no sign of the thermostats or remote keypads. Will see if I can work that out.

Thermostats aren’t yet supported by the pyvera library https://github.com/pavoni/pyvera/issues/20. Suspect keypads may also be missing. Contributions welcome!

Thanks for the response. Probably a little too complicated for my first foray into Python, though.

Happy to assist if you want to give it a try. Impossible for me without having a thermostat!

Update: I think when I upgraded to 26.2 the vera component started working with my UI5 locks and dimmers. Everything is showing up now including my Harmony Hub devices on Vera. Very Cool.

HI, how do you ‘clean up’ the Vera devices in Hass? I don’t see them in my config yaml but I have all of them (incl. some I don’t want to see) in the UI (and they respond really good by the way)

The Vera component has an exclude option. exclude: [ 123, 124 ]
If you want them in Hass, but just don’t want to see them, you’ll need to use customize to hide them.

Ah, clear!
