Arduino Gateway

Installing the Arduino Vera plugin

The latest version of the Vera plugin can be found here:
http://code.mios.com/git_public/mios/arduino-sensor.git/tree/HEAD:/VeraArduino/Vera?js=1

  1. Download all *_Arduino*.* files and upload them in Vera under APPS->Develop Apps->Luup files (you can skip the subfolders if you don't plan to use these sensors).
  2. To create the Arduino Plugin device go to APPS->Develop Apps->Luup and enter "D_Arduino1.xml" in "Upnp Device Filename" and press "Create Device"
  3. After the usual reload/refresh ritual the Arduino root device should pop up.
  4. If you have your Arduino board plugged into Vera you should now configure which serial device to use. See image to the right. Set baudrate to 115200.

Installing Arduino Gateway Software

You can download the Arduino sketch here:
http://code.mios.com/git_public/mios/arduino-sensor.git/tree/HEAD:/VeraArduino/Arduino/ArduinoGateway?js=1

You really don't need to configure anything in this sketch. Just download it and connect the Arduino to your Vera using usb-connector. Please note that only Arduino Nano module have a serial chipset recognized automatically by Vera.

Wire things up

You only need to connect the radio chip to the Arduino. Follow the instructions in ConnectingRadioModule.

Hardware - Purchase guide

This is the stuff you need to purchase to build the ArduinoGateway. Note that I've provided links to the things I bought during the development. You might find it cheaper somewhere else. Also note that you might need to buy 10x of some items to get the price specified.
