 You need a serial port in Vera's MiOS interface.  Two ways of doing this:
-* Connect the EnviR to the Vera.  (Does Vera recognize the PL-2303 without additional work?)
-* Connect the EnviR to an always-on computer running serial-to-Ethernet gateway software, and use the [http://code.mios.com/trac/mios_ipserial/ IPSerial plugin] to add a virtual serial port to the Vera.

(Note that the Windows serial driver provided by !CurrentCost is known to produce [http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/FAQs.asp?ID=50 Error Code 10] messages.  One user reported that a pre-installed driver for the Holux GPS worked in its place.)
 
 The serial parameters are: 57600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.

 The main device's '''Control''' tab also shows the indoor temperature measured by the thermometer inside the console, as well as the console's idea of the current time.  This time can be set on the console; it should be kept roughly accurate to provide good history data.  The console does not know about dates, but it tracks the number of days since the console was first turned on ("Days since birth").
 
-Notifications can be set for power usage or temperature on the '''Notifications''' tab. 
+Notifications can be set for power usage or temperature on the '''Notifications''' tab.  (Note that the temperature is not very accurate.)
