Review:

Neo Coolcam Door sensor

Installation on the Vera Plus/Edge:

You can start adding this sensor by logging in to the Vera and going to the devices. Then click on "add device" and I will look for the Neo Coolcam. Unfortunately I don't see it in the list, so I try to add it as a generic sensor.

Now we remove the cap from the sensor and the tab by the battery. To start adding, hold down the button (top left) for 5 seconds until the LED lights up white.


It was then added to the Vera and I see the different sensors appearing with my devices. What is striking is that I also get an extra on/off switch. This does nothing for the rest so you can just ignore it.

Unfortunately, my registration of opening and closing does not come in and this sensor cannot be used well with the Vera. Neo Coolcam indicates to have sent a sample to Vera for the right support. So it will be a matter of time until it is properly supported.
