Installation Instructions for Omni Z-Wave Interface Plugin for Vera Controllers – UI7 Serial Connection for Leviton Automation Controllers Thank you for downloading the Omni Z-Wave Interface Plugin. These instructions outline how to connect a Vera 3 Controller running User Interface Version 7 to a Leviton Automation Controller. These instructions are also suitable for the Vera Lite and Vera Edge running User Interface Version 7. This manual does not provide instructions on how to pair your Z Wave devices to the Vera. The Plugin provides two way instant feedback and control (activation license required) of Z Wave dimmers, relays, appliance plugs, roller shutters and door locks from a Leviton Omni automation board.

Connecting the Hardware Before powering on the Vera 3 Controller (“Vera”) connect the USB cable to the bottom USB port on the Vera, connect the Ethernet cable between the WAN port of the Vera and your home network and connect the DB9M to RJ12 cable to the USB cable and a spare serial port on the automation controller (use serial port 2-5). You can now power on the Vera. Your Vera is ready when the Power, WAN & Wi-Fi lights are solid green. USB port 1 light will also be solid green. It may take up to 15 minutes whilst the Vera upgrades the firmware to the latest version which is part of the initial power up process of the Vera. Do not power off the Vera during this period.
