No, the plugin only works with a single Vera.

So I see here that only one Vera can be used, too bad, I was hoping to use vera in a shed, and send HTTP commands to Indigo.....
I have a large back yard, a shed, and 9 20 amp zwave outlets placed throughout the yard to act as repeaters.
Despite the coverage of zwave devices in the yard, I have a few devices that refuse to respond reliably, and was wondering about placing a 2nd Indio unit down in the yard in the shed, hoping to possibly extend the network to improve reliability.
I suspect there are just too many hops, but welcome expert advice. I estimate the hops in the backyard are ~ 300 feet to the shed, spaced about 30 feet apart.
Thanks

I have a similar situation with a rural property & several outbuildings, formerly dealt with through 3 Veras & cat6. Migrating to Indigo & have hit this issue..
What is the behaviour of the plugin with two bridged Veras (i.e. bridged to each-other)? - I assume from the above that devices on the bridged Vera won't be visible to the plugin). But what about controlling devices on the second vera (just a couple of lights and a relay for a gate) via scenes on the first vera - I know hidden devices on Vera throw an Indigo error message (but the scene will still execute normally) - would the same apply in this situation?
Failing that I guess I could just use raw http requests to the second vera.

The plugin should run any scene on the Vera. If that scene somehow controls another Vera then I don't see why it wouldn't work.
Another option is to make a copy of the plugin, change the plugin file name (Vera Bridge.indigoPlugin) and the name and plugin ID in the Info.plist file (Vera Bridge.indigoPlugin/Contents/Info.plist, CFBundleDisplayName and CFBundleIdentifier) in the copy to be something else, then install it in Indigo. It will show up as a different plugin and I *think* should work correctly as an independent plugin.
The plugin could be modified to use multiple Veras if someone cared to do the refactoring work.
