About Vera Alerts

Vera Alerts provides notification of events that were originated from your Vera Home Automation system and delivered to your Android phone. These notification can also specify 1 of 5 alert tones to be played on your phone when the notification is delivered. Or it can have the message spoken using the locally installed Android Text To Speech, TTS, engine on your phone.

Vera Alerts also maintains a database of these notification events so that you can review their history. It provides various tools to display these events and also to manage the lifetime of the stored data.

In addition to the text message and the alert tone, a notification event can include additional data with the message such as displayed background and foreground colors of the displayed messages, and other meta tags that can be used to convey information such as the user that initiated the event.

The original author was Richard Green. Improvements have been made by Richard Schaefer and Pieter Buts.

Vera is product manufactured by Mi Casa Verde. It supports Vera 2, Vera 3, Vera Lite, Vera Edge

App done work on Samsung Note 4

Love this app. When my garage door or outside doors are opened in my house, this app sends me a notice which it speaks. It speaks what I desire: it says, "BMW garage door has been opened" which is great. The support is excellent, also.

Nice to be able to get notified of activity at home

X70%

Took a while to figure it out; but it is working smoothly on my Note 3. I can't complain about the alerts' timing. I receive the notifications very promptly.

As always thanks Richard for listening to your customers. I love the app again without having the long Vibration pattern, I get a ton of alerts all day from this app. To those having issues reach out to Richard he's always helpful, Thanks

Sounds are working again, still can't delete them from the list but that doesn't bother me much.

E70%
by E####:

Was good, supplements Vera's alerts. Two main issues - horribly slow to open due to it trying to load ALL alerts first and it's no longer working on 6.0.1. Time to move to Homeseer...

D70%
by D####:

This app MIGHT work, or more likely not. I have a Vera edge with UI7, and the sparse instructions seem to be made for a previous device and are so out of date that they are misleading. What a mess, what a waste. Worthless, or even worth less than cost of app (nothing).

Works exactly as advertised.

Flawless!

Wasted my money on a stupid license! App doesn't work with my Vera. I give up and trashed the app and cut my loses..waste of time and money..

Took me a moment to figure it out at first. Very useful!

D70%
by D####:

This app is a must have if you use vera. I depend on it for open and close status and times on all my doors as well as other alerts. Such a huge step up from the built in notifications of the vera app.

C70%
by C####:

Great app feature-wise but 70% battery consumption is totally unacceptable. Anybody can go to your device settings, tap battery, and see that Veraalerts battery usage. Can this be optimized?

This app is great. Does exact what it states and does it well.

I've only just got the vera and this app but so far it's looking good if a little confusing, but maybe I ought to read the documentation! It's still doing what I want though but it looks like it can do a lot more.

Great application! Thank you for fixing the issues with UI7.

N70%

Great APP- even better support.

N70%
by N####:

This allows our vera system to act like an alarm system and we love it. I consider this an essential app for vera owners who want notifications.

N70%
by N####:

Works fine, but after months of use I finally found it was responsible for 50% of my battery usage, and that's without even using the app. And occasionally it gets into a mode where it draws much more, depleting my battery in just a few hours. Unacceptable.

F70%
by F####:

After entering all the settings got a blank screen and heading says not registered. Took me a while to find the register option, now out works great!

Its great app I just wish the developer releases a compatible version for the newer vera's firmwares

K70%
by K####:

Quick response from my scenes. Like the simple easy to use layout. Wish you could sort by date time vs alert name grouping. update: now groups notification. THANK YOU. This is great app.

C70%
by C####:

This app does all my logging and notifies me of my scenes and triggers. Great support and head and shoulders above Vera notifications. Thanks!!

U70%
by U####:

Press and hold a notification for more than a second and you will get a popup allowing you to sort by time.

K70%
by K####:

Much better than text and email alerts......however I wish the latest event for each section were in bold or colored.

N70%
by N####:

This is really a great addition for Vera on smartphones I use it continuously

K70%
by K####:

It took me a while to figure this out because I couldn't find the app in the very app list, but then once I did it worked in seconds and it's so fast. Awesome app.

D70%

I don't know of any android app which provides better alert status.

D70%
by D####:

Very good app, but takes a little time to fully figure it out.

C70%
by C####:

video alerts are some difficult/slow to manipulate. anyway, you must try this app.

T70%
by T####:

Email & SMS notifications from Vera continue unabated, but nothing yet from "Vera Alerts".

T70%
by T####:

The android alerts are so much better than getting tons of emails.

N70%
by N####:

I use this program to have a log of entry and exit access to my home. Very fast and reliable. Nexus 5 KitKat 4.4.1

V70%
by V####:

Great App which basically allows to do everything I expect from a Home Automation Notification System. Overhelming advantages compared to the vera build in notifications.

L70%
by L####:

Was having such a hard time getting any plugins to work. Did a factory reset on my VeraLite and now everything works great, including this awesome app.

W70%
by W####:

It was pretty easy to install with minimum setup. Works great and its way better than getting SMS or email notifications. Using this with my Veralite.
