They really should contract out developers like @rafale77 and others to fix their product. I do t have a sense their current programmers are any good.

Sorry Sorin, would you please take a few minutes and clarify your statement please.
What exactly do you mean by it will be “available on Ezlo Hardware”. Is the Vera platform End Of Life? Is their a timeline when the Vera Hardware will be EOL? Why do you continue selling Vera units?

It sure reads like the writing is on the wall.
Been feeling that way here for about a year or more. Sad.

Hi Sorin, bumping this back up on your feed and echoing the questions of others-- can you clarify what this means?

Ezlo Hardware/Software means: Ezlo Atom, Ezlo PlugHub, VeraEdge(with Alpha Ezlo firmware), more controllers to come.
But we have more integration than they have in terms of how many devices we work with!

Ah. If I’m going to draw conclusions, I’m guessing full Doorbell integration is not on the roadmap for Vera Plus any time soon? Maybe 2021 if lucky?
I think if it doesn’t work on MIOS now, it never will

Think at this point we hope for an Ezlo device able to operate without cloud connectivity which would support migration from Vera Plus. Perhaps the Ezlo development is a bit better on supporting Zwave devices?

The ability to migrate directly (I wouldn’t care how…) from Vera over to ezlo hub would be outstanding. Dunno if it’s even technically feasible, but man would that be sweet.

I’ll just check in once more, still no solution.
Live up to your promises please!
My guess would be that Vera is deprecated and we will not be seeing any more software releases. Would presume this would be incorporated into the Ezlo platform. Sadly, other plugins will not work unless they are rewritten or Ezlo works with 3rd parties to make it work. Thinking iCloud for device/location/distance monitoring, Ecobee thermostat control, and Reactor/Virtual Switches.

Just figured out how to control sound and volume levels just using raw z-wave commands through LUUP coding. Hopefully this helps someone!
Using the LUUP code below, you can use this to change the default volume and sound used by Doorbell / Siren 6.
luup.call_action(‘urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:ZWaveNetwork1’,‘SendData’,{Node=‘ALTID’,Data=‘96 13 0 ENDPOINT 121 5 VOLUME SOUND’},1)
ALTID = can be found under the main Siren/Doorbell 6 device under (Advanced → Params)
ENDPOINT = can be a range between 1 - 8
- 1 = _Generic IO (browse)
- 2 = _Generic IO 1 (tamper)
- 3 = _Generic IO 2 (button 1)
- 4 = _Generic IO 3 (button 2)
- 5 = _Generic IO 4 (button 3)
- 6 = _Generic IO 5 (environment)
- 7 = _Generic IO 6 (security)
- 8 = _Generic IO 7 (emergency)
VOLUME = Can be a range between 0 - 100
SOUND = can be a range between 1 - 30
To input LUUP code, you can access this in Vera easily:
- Select " Apps "
- Select " Develop Apps "
- Input the code and adjust the ALTID, ENDPOINT, VOLUME, SOUND values
- Press GO
- Now test the endpoint.
Example LUUP
- AltID = 85 (reference from first image in this post)
- Endpoint = 2 (Change tamper sound)
- Volume level = 50%
- Sound # = 15
LUUP command:
luup.call_action(‘urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:ZWaveNetwork1’,‘SendData’,{Node=‘85’,Data=‘96 13 0 2 121 5 50 15’},1)

Hi BoneyCheng,
I will try this for sure.
Regardless of it working for me or not, you’re a legend for working this out!
@Sorin If this man can make it work, why is this still neglected to be added to the supported devices?
Still no explanation on why this was removed from the implementation list even though it was top community priority and promised to be implemented.
So… If I understand this correct, this will “reprogram” my doorbell? Basically I follow your steps once to adjust sound and volume triggered by the included doorbell button (endpoint 3?) and from then on I will no longer go deaf whenever people ring my doorbell?
This command will set the default sound used on that endpoint. You only need to use that step once on endpoint 3 and you won’t need to set it again for button #1.
(it resets back to its default sound and volume only if you factory reset/unpair your Doorbell 6 or Siren 6).

I just ordered DB6, but as I can read here it is still not supported device. That’s a shame after so long time on the market. DB6 is popular device. How is situation with other controllers like Fibaro HC or SmarThings… ?
Thank you

I just received my Doorbell 6 and 3 remotes. Adding it to Vera I am stuck with 9 generic devices.

Button slots # 1 - 3 are _Generic IO 2 - 4 respectively
You could change the _Generic IO naming conventions to reflect what they are in device. But currently they will only show up as generic ON/OFF devices
