 | Add the all new Fibaro Implant to your "dumb" devices and instantly make them smart! Small yet powerful, Smart Implant is the only Z-Wave solution currently available to transform ordinary devices into devices compatible with the Fibaro Smart Home System. |
We've been running with the new version since its beta release about two months ago and we’re very pleased to announce that this is the most stable and performant UI7 ever! The list of bug fixes and enhancements is vast and you can get full details here. A worthy upgrade for sure. From our perspective though, the most exciting Vera news in recent memory hasn’t been about company acquisitions or UI7 improvements, it’s been about the amazing contributions made to the platform by Patrick H. Rigney; a.k.a. rigpapa (as he’s known in the Vera community). Patrick has single-handedly redefined the way we use Vera through a collection of ingenious software addons (plugins) which will transform your humble controller into a home automation beast! All of his excellent plugins are available via the Vera app store and directly from this github repo. However, without a doubt, the one plugin every Vera user needs to know about is, Reactor. Reactor is the most essential plugin Vera has ever known. It can help you build powerful smart home logic effortlessly and without needing to write a single line of code. After setting up your first Reactor device, you will wonder how you ever lived without it. The kinds of things possible with Reactor are limitless and we are yet to encounter a home automation scenario it couldn’t handle. You can read more about its capabilities in this wiki and there’s now also a dedicated YouTube channel of instructional “how-to” videos to help get you started (with more promised in time).  Reactor Status Screen We can’t oversell this. If you’ve never tried Reactor or any of rigpapa’s plugins, please, do yourself a favour! Here's a few others we rely on:-
We should also mention that all these plugins are free (unbelievable) but please, if you find them helpful, consider making a donation to help support his fantastic efforts. Until next time, happy automating!
 Searching for a smarter home app for your iOS or Android device? You need ImperiHome - the one and only smart home app!   We’re often asked about the differences between Vera and Fibaro Home Center and which system is the best. Fortunately, both VeraPlus and Fibaro Home Center 2 are among the most popular Z-Wave gateways in the world, so either product will deliver great results. They do, however, differ in several ways so it's worth understanding the key differences, especially if you're in the market for a new Z-Wave controller and need some help deciding which device will best fit your needs.
