This is a BIG one. For those of you who are new to the world of Home Automation, firmware updates of this magnitude are special. And those who have been waiting for this, wait no longer.
In late April, Vera HQ released their biggest and boldest firmware update for all Vera Edge and Vera Plus controllers. You may recall that last year Ezlo purchased Vera, making this update the first major undertaking for the new owners. It is fair to say that Ezlo certainly impressed with the amount of time, effort and resources that they have put into this update. Because it works a charm and has improved Vera Controllers immensely.
There is now no doubt that Ezlo is serious about Vera and that Vera Controllers are reliable and robust options for your Smart Home Systems.
