Can't to connect this to our vera router. Lights flash when I insert the batteries but then don't go on when I push the buttons. Is that right?

Sorry I have never tried to connect any Z wave to a home system Vera router or home automation system. Most Z wave will work as stand alone automation or IR controls.

I got screwed on this product myself. It will eventually pair with a Vera but won't control scenes. :(

I have never gotten this to work with my Vera. Use it as a stand alone unit to control lights near my back door.

Lights should flash when you press and hold Add and Remove at the same time to begin the programming process.

I was able to connect and configure it successfully to the Vera. It took a lot of persistence but it does work to control scenes and devices. The biggest "revelation" came when I learned that each button had to be set-up as a "trigger" instead of a controller.-- I never added any single devices to this controller, rather assigned them from the Vera.

I'd first unplug it and plug it back into the outlet. When we had problems this cleared it up -- consider it a reboot. If this doesn't work try another outlet. Not all outlets are the same (there may be a problem with the outlet itself). If the problem still persists it could be a signal problem -- for me, that means that it can't get the signal from your router to extend it. Otherwise, I'm stumped.

did you do the step to check the signal between the router and the repeater? That needs to be good. Also, what did you name it --- the book says name it different than the router (but pass through security). I notice sometimes with my Netgear it seems like it takes forever to connect --- other times it connects quickly. I'm leaning towards what the other reviewers say --- move the router so not to need the repeater. Previously I had a LinkSys repeater, it worked about the same, just ok at best.

There is a plugin for the Vera home automation system that works quite well. The individual bulbs show up as dimmable lights and you can manipulate those with scenes, actions etc. You need to have the TCP gateway installed though.

It sounds to me like you have problems with the receiver board. Does the red led on the receiver board burn steady, or does it remain flashing AFTER BINDING? Also, are all the electrical plugs pushed firmly into their sockets on top of the receiver board? Just a couple of suggestions that you might check on (if you haven't already done so).

It's been a while since I set it up, but it should connect to another router in Bridge Mode. Download the manual from the TP-LINK website to check for yourself.

I installed two of these sensors with my Vera Lite and they work very well. Vera can remotely arm or bypass. Vera can send notifications on trigger events (for instance if opened or closed) or low battery condition. Recommended for Vera Lite.

I'm not an expert with this but it sounds to me like you might be looking for a small hole on the extender. In that hole is a small button that can only be reached with a paper clip and helps set the extender to connect with the router you own. Mine works great now, but I needed to call the toll free number to NETGEAR which is where my problem were solved in the end. Good luck!

Make sure that on the transmitter (thing that hangs out of one of the lights) that both are on the "on" position. I also would change the batteries in the transmitter as well as that created a problem for them both firing, for me. As for the model lights, you should be able to just turn the switch to that mode and they should turn on? Hope this helps.

sometimes if we put the wrong DC to the IR controller that will have an effect on the output. second, like a lot of other electronics, modems especially. unplug the IR controller so the lights have no power and take out the battery of the hand held R. controller give a minute or so and re connect. sometime a lower voltage or amp power supply can fix this as well. I hope this helped. Frank

Nope. You can add them the the Vera of course, but they use limited memory and do not adhere to normal Scene formats so you cannot program it with the Vera. Honestly I'd say if you want a controller you can program from the Vera, get one of the more expensive Leviton ones. This just won't do it. To set up a "scene" with this you have to add each device to the scene manually, including the dimmer level. After that, it's very hit-or-miss on reliably calling it back up.

I have found a few things. 1) There are two batteries in my remote, the Next Gen battery and one you add. Both must be COMPLETELY good. If the added AA battery is 90%, that's good enough for a flashlight, but not for the Next Gen to work. I don't use cheap AA batteries any more, I buy the better ones. 2) Interference. I have my wireless router near the Next Gen base. If 3 kids are playing WOW, Toon Town, etc., hitting the wireless network hard, maybe one of 3 of the remote keypresses gets through. I would guess other typical wi-fi interference, microwave ovens, etc. would cause similar problems. I don't know if this is your problem, but it's my experience.

While this switch will work fine with the Vera controller, you should be aware that these do not work well with LED lights. If you're still using incandescent lights, then this switch is perfect.

I am sorry, I can not help with your specific question. I use it with Vera Lite. However I had a heck of a time getting it to work. Once I was able to get it setup in Vera, it has been totally reliable. As the switch is Z-wave compliant and Leviton is one of the bigger players in the Z-wave arena, if Smartthings works with Z-wave, you should be able to get it to work.

I have the exact same issue. All of the lights will go off eventually. If I leave it unplugged for a day and then hook it up again it will work for about 5-10 minutes then go out again as you describe. I checked with Netgear and they said I should return it for another one so that is what I will do.
