PROBLEM
Can’t get Vera Plus to recognize and establish communications to Vista 20P console using AD2USB adapter.
EFFORTS
[ul][li]Connected the AD2USB to Vista 20P console.[/li]
[li]Connected Mac to AD2USB and able to control Vista with NuTech virtual keypad successfully.[/li]
[li]Replaced Mac with Vera Plus to AD2USB.[/li]
[li]Installed “Honeywell Ademco Vista Alarm Panels via AD2USB” App in Vera web console.[/li]
[li]Two devices were automatically installed: [list type=decimal]
[li]“Ademco Vista Alarm Panel” … complains with “Ademco Vista Plugin.Can’t Detect Device”[/li]
[li]“Ademco Vista Partition 1” … complains with “Can’t Detect Device”[/li]
[/list]

[li]Logged into Vera shell (ssh) and tried forcing module load, believe I even corrected the needed changes for my UI17 version, but still with no luck, as described here: [url=http://www.alarmdecoder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=122&sid=23dc943d3ed2cbab4aaabde91033ab7f]alarmdecoder.com » View topic - Veralite shows serial port as Not Available
I’ve scoured the web and these forums, tried to find clues as to what I can try further, but no luck.

I’ve had the same problem and finally broke down and called Vera support. It took a while, but they were able to fix it. Still not sure what they did.
A few things to check that I know were problematic for me:
My Vera plus had two USB ports showing–some sort of bug from migrating over from UI5 and vera3.
I also had issues with my keypad #s. For some reason an extra keypad was showing up (thankfully I’d take screen shots of the system before migrating!).
Have no idea what was the actual cause/fix, but they were able to fix it.
That said, I’ve had a continual problem with it ceasing to work and giving me connection down messages. Always happens after I’ve added a device. Really annoying. My guess is there’s a problem with the USB port getting recognized correctly, but all looks fine.
