My understanding of setting up a serial device is that once you plug it in, you will see a new file in the folder “/dev/usb/tts/”. That folder contains the file “0” which is for the zwavde dongle, and for each serial port you attach to Vera, a new file will be added in the folder. So if you are attaching 4 serial ports, you will get the files
“0,1,2,3”.
If adding a serial device to the USB port does not result in a file being added to this folder, then no device will ever show up in Vera’s WEB ui. If a file does appear, then in theory a device should show up in Vera’s web ui under devices.
If a file did not appear in the folder, then we learned from CJ that the magic line rmmod -f ftdi_sio && insmod ftdi_sio vendor=0x403 product=0x6010
would at least for myself (nanckekr) and mizar.
Personally I started out with the problem that there were no device in the web UI and no file in the above mentioned folder. After CJ’s line I was able to get the file to appear in the folder, but so far I have never seen the device in the web UI.
mizar mentioned that he did see the files after learning of CJ’s magic line, but it is not clear to me if mizar saw the device in the web UI.
So, 325xi, where in this are you? Did you get the file in the folder even without CJ’s line? I understand that the device is not in the web UI for you as well as for me.
