UI7 - Vera Firmware Update - Version 7.0.31 + new Cloud storage service (1.7.5185/1.7.5186/1.7.5187) - September 2nd, 2020

We are pleased to announce that we’re releasing today Firmware v.7.0.31 + new Cloud storage service for the following controllers:

  • VeraEdge: 1.7.5185
  • VeraPlus: 1.7.5186
  • VeraSecure: 1.7.5187

New Features:

  • Added support for upcoming VistaCam 1200 doorbell camera

Changes & Improvements:

  • Replaced the cloud storage for camera recording resources (recordings & snapshots)

*Please note that after uploading the video to the new cloud storage the processing of the videos can take some time.
Also due to the changes done on the upload mechanism in case of multiple recordings using cameras that don’t support http push you will receive an error in case the memory on the controller is exceeded.

Starting October, 1st we’ll use exclusively the new cloud storage we released in this firmware version. If you have cameras added to your VeraEdge/Plus/Secure controller please upgrade until the end of the month. If you won’t upgrade, the recordings and the snapshots won’t be available anymore for you starting October.

  • Fixes the issue with the live Streaming stopping in about 50-60 seconds after starting video recording

Proceed with caution my Vera Edge is not happy now.

I pressed the upgrade button and I did not see the usual page that asks you if you want to backup first.

I just saw this screen and continue to see this screen.

The WIFI and Z-Wave lights are not lit up currently.

Power and Service lights are solid and Internet light is flashing

I’ve just submitted a support ticket (230553) please have it raised to 2nd / 3rd line support ASAP in case there is a wider issue for other users here?

After some time Vera has just come back to life on its own and its has not updated.

So I took a manual Z-Wave network backup and a system backup.

Then tried the upgrade again, this time I am seeing the normal upgrade screens, I did not see these the first time when it went wonky after clicking the Upgrade button.

And this time its completed OK. No idea what all that was about…

Just successfully updated V3+ without any issues.

I’ll wait too. There seem to be only a few changes with cams and I don’t want to run into the controller online/offline error I got with the last few firmwares.

Just updated my Vera Plus, no issues.
Had to do it to get rid of the update nag.

This seems to be a minor update for functionality and a few minor fixes? Aka, not worth it unless you have cameras.

Hi there, I gave a heads up to our customer care team.

A serious problem, sent also to the Vera support team

After updating to the newest firmware, it is not possible to make an z-wave back-up (tried several times, also after restart same problem

This is the message:

Did a reboot by power of and on waited 20 minutes that worked, I was able to make a backup again, hope there are no further issues

I crossed my fingers and went ahead with the upgrade on our Vera Plus this morning. No problems and I was able to complete another backup after the upgrade.

I tried to upgrade mine. Failed and now will not reboot. Currently internet and power light are flashing alternately. I can connect via putty and winscp.

I have same issue, looks my vera is brick now…Tried to factory reset but no result.

I didn’t try to reset or restore a backup or even reboot the Vera unit.

I just left if alone for maybe an hour or more and then it just came back as I said and I was able to do the upgrade normally.

Vera support emailed me today. This is all they said so far. I will try and get more information out of them.

"Thank you for communicating with Tech Support.

This is going to be handled by a level 2 support technician.

I accessed your controller and saw that there’s one problem with the Openwrt version of it, this will need to change, is it ok if we proceed to do so?

Note: all your settings and devices will be fine and won’t be lost.

Best regards,"

I told them to proceed as this Vera Edge is just a test unit not my production Vera Plus, which I haven’t upgraded yet.
