I recently encountered some challenges with my Vera 3 setup, particularly with a plugin I was trying to install. The error message I received was ‘Startup Lua Failed / Device not ready,’ which was quite perplexing. After some digging through logs, I noticed that the plugin files were validating correctly, but there seemed to be an issue with the AAU subsystem being disabled on Vera Plus. This was a bit confusing since I didn’t have a Wink Hub, only a Wink account linked to my Ring doorbell.
I decided to take a closer look at the logs and stumbled upon an error related to the temperature format attribute being nil. It turned out that the plugin was expecting a specific temperature format setting that wasn’t properly configured. After some research, I realized that manually setting this attribute in the Vera UI fixed the issue. It was a bit of a learning curve, but it taught me the importance of checking attribute configurations when dealing with plugin errors.
For anyone else facing similar issues, I recommend carefully reviewing the plugin’s documentation and ensuring all required attributes are correctly set. Additionally, checking the Vera logs for specific error messages can provide valuable insights into what might be going wrong. It’s a bit of a detective game, but solving these issues definitely gives a sense of accomplishment!
