Hi all I am hoping someone here can lend some help/tips on getting a MX5000 to work with my zwave controller (Vera 2) using IP commands.

I have been using eventghost and wget on the pc to work with the mx5000 and vera but the issue is when the CPU is off or sleeps the commands (obviously) won’t run. I am hoping to transfer everything to the mx5000 to eliminate this issue.

I attempted some programming in CCP and cannot get anything to run so I think the issue is going to be
the ip command setup and/or,
the IP database device I used and/or,
The macro options and commands I am adjusting.

Currently in wget a command example to run scene # 15 is;

wget --delete-after h tp://192.168.1.217:3480/data_request?id=lu_action&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1&action=RunScene&SceneNum=15

With some reading I understand the command in CCP should look like this

GET\x20/data_request?id=lu_action&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1&action=RunScene&SceneNum=15\x20HTTP/1.1\x0D\x0AContent-Length:\x200\x0D\x0A\x0D\x0A

The mx5000 is connected to wifi (rss feeds and AVR two way work) so here is what I did.

In ccp I added a device lights and pages lights. For the database I used IP and selected Lutron light as I am changing the command manually anyway I think I can use any of the devices under IP correct??

I clicked on the device lights changed the ip command setup to 192.168.1.217 port 3480. Is that correct or should I be using 255.255.255.255 :3480?

I open the ip macro changed the description to scene 15 and select TCP is that right or should I be using UDP?

I then enter the following ASCII information;

GET\x20/data_request?id=lu_action&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1&action=RunScene&SceneNum=15\x20HTTP/1.1\x0D\x0AContent-Length:\x200\x0D\x0A\x0D\x0A

And I checked add a carriage return and did the download and tried testing it but nothing worked.

Any help/advice on where I am messing up here?

Wow 66 views and not one person can offer any advice or help? Disappointed

I spent about 10 minutes of my life browsing Mi Case Verde or whoever that Vera controller's website is and didn't find any documentation on control protocol so I gave up.

What's the protocol?

Don't be disappointed for no response to help that didn't cost you anything.

1. It uses get commands got it figured out.
2. Thought the point of the forum was to assist members.

Is this a DIY homebrew project?

Everyone (control company) has their own set of challenges with IP programming in general. Plus, if the MX5000 shared the same wifi chip with the TRC-1280 (they share a chassis), then I am surprised it is working at all. (Different topic).

I know CCP gen 2 has z wave support (native with the extender) and the z wave stuff is currently still in ALPHA with TC.

That's why I asked if this is a DIY self challenge project or a client's house.  It sounds like a giant frankenstein / platypus mess.  It also sounds enticing and interesting to try on my own (though I would never pay the outrageous sum for the MX5000 when I could get an fully loaded ipad for less). 

Hi System and Lowhz, Just to clear this up this was re; CCP not TC programming and I managed to get it working just needed to tweak the get command above to send over wifi from the MX5000.

Lowhz, it has nothing to do with cost or that asking was free it has to do with the fact so many members are unwilling to help other members with advice because they rather say “hire a pro” Seems to diminish the point of the forum in my opinion, I joined in hope to learn and also pass on advice but it does not seem the majority of people here are int hat same mindset.

No dude, it was this comment on post number 2


Suck it.

I saw it was CCP. I am just not understanding why you are even bothering with a makeshift solution when TC isn't even support ZWave yet, and they are generally ahead of the curve with URC R&D. Is this just personal knowledge or an actual customer system? If the second, take pictures. I want to see this frankenstein.

Nope sucking it still didn't help with the code. With replies like that why do you even bother posting?


Hi SysIntergration not sure what you want pictures of,, the controller? If so the Zwave controller I am using is the Vera2 hxxp:// .

If I recall the documentation each Vera unit can handle 200+ zwave devices and from what I understand over 200 scenes per device up to 32 devices per scene.

All I did was add an ip get command as posted above in CCP so there was no need for the URC zwave module as VERA works over the network. I think the zwave module is required when using a remote that does not support wifi.
