Setup of Vera Edge with HouseMate 

This document should be used in conjunction with the ClickToPhone 
(Android) or HouseMate Home Control (iOS) user manual as well as the 
instructions provided with the VERA Edge controller and on line at 

http://home.getvera.com

.   

Setting up Vera Edge via Internet Connection 

The Vera controller must be connected to the internet. It is normally connected 
by plugging it into your home network wifi router. Note that your computer, 
phone or tablet must also be connected to the same network. 

1.

 

Connect Vera Edge to your router via the Ethernet cable provided 

2.

 

Connect Vera Edge Power adaptor to an AC power outlet and plug the 
power lead into Vera 

3.

 

On your computer or tablet go to 

http://home.getvera.com

 and follow the instructions to log in or set 

up a new account and setup your Vera controller 

4.

 

Once the setup is completed your web browser will be re-directed to the 

Vera 

Dashboard

 

5.

 

Here you can set up your Z-Wave appliance modules/plug-in switches by 
clicking on Devices > Add a Device 

a.

 

Note that when adding DHS Plug-In Switches,  
choose 

Generic Z-Wave device

 and follow the instructions 

6.

 

Once you have all of your Z-Wave devices paired to the Vera controller, take 
note of the IP address of the Vera Dashboard shown in your web browser. It 
should look like: 

http://

xxx.xxx.xx.xx

/cmh/#dashboard

  

Take note of the numbers represented by the red 

xxx

s above; this is your Vera 

Edge IP address. 

 

Setting up Vera with ClickToPhone HouseMate (Android Devices)  

From the ClickToPhone homepage click Back->Project Settings->Enable 
Technician mode-> Preferences->HouseMate preferences. Then choose 

Z-

Wave over Wifi

 and run the setup wizard 

1.

 

If the setup wizard fails to find your Vera, go to Preferences-
>HouseMate preferences-> Z-Wave over Wifi-> Advanced 
settings-> Enable Z-wave  

2.

 

Click on IP address and enter the IP address 

xxx.xxx.xx.xx

 that you 

noted above. It is beyond the scope of this document to further 
explain all the various ways to connect your Vera unit over a 
domestic router. 

3.

 

Now click on Wifi settings. Turn on your Wifi and make sure that your Vera unit is switched on. 
Now each time you select HouseMate from the ClickToPhone homepage you should see popup 
massages indicating that HouseMate is searching and connecting to Vera.
