ow yeah the UI itself would really benefit if there where more options to make a nice GUI for plugins.. really good point. something like javascript or lua possibility to make own made buttons.. one should be able to put in his/her own buttons and the back-end should be able to work with these. wont break the allready existent back-end. it would just not be displayed and non-usable if the remote doesnt parse these new buttons and underlaying actions/services.
devices should be able to be put in different rooms at same time. instead of the dashboard the rooms could also be made like tabs so you could switch between them and be able to hide devices. in the rooms itself the devices should be separated by type.
overview per room, the beta one that exists is fairly useless and looks crappy
some way that vera can react on different alarm frames being send from z-wave sensors.
richards vera alerts and pleg , chixxi virtual switch and variable container should be standard implemented as well as notification hook
option for logs/events on a separate server/database
support for newer z-wave devices like a colorwheel for RGBW controller, a thermostate climate schedule, clock and support for stella-z 's direct control (perhaps its own device file so it actually going to work and doesn't have HVAC cooling settings which dont work anyway), multi-commands,
z-wave devices firmware update possibility
better documentation so we could at least try and understand how it works. a link on the setup page to the docs and forum opening in new tab/window
https and a more easy way to set the vera up through a webpage which you land on when u click the device on windows network section. password protected local lan port 3480 . parsed in the url itself over https connection. discussed allready and there is not really a solution for this that would fit the case.
possibility to control the vera lua/z-wave module etc. from a windows/linux machine so testing plugins can be easier. com plugin or something like that.
a setting for normal and advanced user.. normal show just the basic controls, advanced the more advanced options (like advanced tab) show also.
option for sensors to choose a device it would turn on for a 0 to XX minutes amount of time when triggered. like push doorbell would turn on the doorbell. alarm-sensor tripped would turn on alarm sirene. temp below XX degrees turn on heater. door-sensor tripped not-armed turn on light. toilet motion-sensor non-armed tripped turn on the toiletlight.
option to set a NTP server
option to remove the service/variable/value added in advanced tab of a device
implementation for tv's, bluray players and other UPnP devices
application to run on a samsung tv for remote control
update the forum to latest version and some way that there are country flags next to the name so we know where users are situated and thus can give em better advice for z-wave installations
bluetooth support for proximity
.. just some ideas
and some thanx to MCV to bother to look into the suggestions/wishes we have and try and make us a better experience with our beloved Vera. without it we'd be still living in a stone cave. it's like having a wife.. sometimes you hate her when she does not cooperate and does stuff you're not happy with, but most of the time you want to hug and play with her and could not live without her
