Requirements

Firmware version: 1.1.1183 or newer.

Installation

  1. Download the following 6 files:

D_HomeCare.json
D_HomeCare.xml
I_HomeCare.xml
J_HomeCare.js
L_HomeCare.lua
S_HomeCare.xml

  1. On the Vera Dashboard, go to MiOS Developers -> Luup Files and upload all the files. Do NOT check Restart Luup after upload. If it's already checked, uncheck it.
  2. After the files have been uploaded go to Create Device and write D_HomeCare.xml in the UpnpDevFilename field and Home Care Plugin (or any desired name) in the Description field. Click Create Device.
  3. Restart Luup.
  4. After Luup has restarted reload page.

Usage

In the Users tab check the users to be notified.

In the Devices tab set the inactivity periods (representing minutes) and the time interval when the monitoring is active. If the current time is outside the time interval when the monitoring is active, no event will be triggered and no notification will be sent.

To disable monitoring that device, set the inactivity period to 0.

If Send notification is checked, the plugin will send a notification to the selected users.

Click Update after finishing.

After configuring the plugin, close the window and click SAVE to restart Luup.

Events and Commands

Events

  • TimerExpired: you can use this to run a scene when any motion sensor hasn't been tripped in the set period. If you configure the event to send notifications, you should uncheck Send notification for all the devices.

Commands
