Setting Up VeraPlus Advanced SmartHome Controller

-

I received this VeraPlus Advanced SmartHome Controller from work, now it is time to set it up.

-Plugin power and Ethernet cables.
-Wait for Power, Internet, and Wi-Fi lights to go green
-Goto http://home.getvera.com
-Select the blue box "I have a new controller to setup"
-Scroll down and check "I agree to the Terms & Conditions" then click Continue.
-Then again Scroll down on the Privacy Policies and check "I acknowledge" then click "Continue"

-Now on this page you only have to check the top option then click "continue"
-On the next page it will ask you to choose your controller, I choose VeraPlus
 
-Here you choose you device it detected on your network.
-Then click Next Step
-Ok, here we are going to be creating an account, fill out the info and pay attention the the password requirements.
-There will be 1-2 more pages of info to fill out(sorry forgot the screenshot)
-You will receive a email to verify you email address, click the link in the email and if needed log in.
-Once you login it will bring to the Setup Wizard. Click Next here
-On this screen you are going to verify your information then click next.
-This next screen is to validate your email but you should have done that and it should look like this. Just click Next
-Now on this step you should have received a SMS/Text message on your cell phone and you are going to enter the 4 digit code they sent. Then click "Submit Validation Code"
-We are now going to enter a unit name then click next
-So next is to setup device to connect to this Advanced Smart Home Controller, however I do not have anything ready for this step so I skipped it for now and will cover this later.
For now that is the end of this setup guide. I have some Light Bulbs and SmartPlug to setup at a later time.

And I am going to share how with you so hopefully it wont be as painful for you to setup. -First step install the bulb into a Lamp  -The move the Lamp or VeraPlus within 1-2ft of each other. -At this step you will either be at the end of the Setup Wizard from my initial setup guide to the VeraPlus, That says "Welcome to the install device wizard" and you click "Next" OR you can Select "Devices" on the LEFT then "Add Devices" on the RIGHT -Both ways will bring you to the screen that say "Select Your Device" -At this screen we are going to click in the search and type in "Sylvania" and this will bring up the "Dimmable LED Light Bulb" w/ subtitle of "OSRAM SYLVANIA iQBR30" and you want to click on that. - Here you will get this screen but before you go ferther you need to use the use
