-In the UI7 version of Vera software they switched to a new connection protocolWe still support the older protocol and it still works for the most part so if you are happy with the functioning of your system there is no need to update. Support for the newer UI7 protocol is currently in Beta testing as of XTension version 9.3.11. It seems to be the policy of Vera that they will not fix bugs in the older protocol nor are they going to add support in it for the newer devices or features. This means that if you have a newer device like some of the newer thermostats, or a device with more advanced features than were supported in the older version you will need to update to the new interface in order to use them. If you’re starting a new Vera connection you should start with the Beta version and only fall back if you have a problem. +This page is for the currently support “UI7” version of the XTension pluginIf you’re looking for information on the legacy plugin for older Vera units please see the [[supported_hardware:vera|legacy Vera page]] The legacy plugin is no longer included with the standard XTension distribution so if you wish to continue using it you must install the plugin manually.
 =====Converting an existing Vera Interface===== =====Converting an existing Vera Interface=====
 **It is important that you follow these instructions to convert an existing Vera install to the new protocol!** The new system uses different addressing and device type settings than the old system and you must properly convert your units. A backup of your database is made before the process begins (though you may wish to manually zip up a copy of your database just in case as well) so you can return to the older interface by putting that back if there are problems. As of XTension 9.3.11 there is no way to convert your units back to the old protocol other than doing a lot of manual editing or putting back the previous database. **It is important that you follow these instructions to convert an existing Vera install to the new protocol!** The new system uses different addressing and device type settings than the old system and you must properly convert your units.
