I use Pseudo units on my Vera.

The one that comes with Vera doesn't work, but there is a user 
contributed extension that does, called "Switchboard". I use some simple 
On/Off scripts to associated "Switchboard Virtual Dimmers" with their 
physical counterparts in XTension, and get reliable 2-way communication 
between them.

This is how I get voice control of non-Vera units with Amazon Echo 
devices (Alexa). I'm using the Echo extension for Vera to enable voice 
control.  Someday I hope to get myself some Pi units and get more direct 
control, but this scheme works quite reliably.  I documented the set-up 
I use here a couple years ago.  I have everything archived, I could find it.
