I'm having the very same issue as tjm000 had. My phidgets went offline a few days ago as I noted my devices were not updating. After disabling, reloading and enabling the plugin, I deleted the interface kit from indigo. I went into the system preferences and ensure the Web services is turned on. Once I create the new interface kit, it defaults to being offline. When I go back to system preferences, Web services has stopped again.
I reinstalled the Phidgets software and the Web Service now remains on but my Phiidgets board is still offline in Indigo. I have noticed that the Phidgets board no longer appears in the Bonjour Tab.
Is it possible the board has died? I tried swapping usb cables and get the same results.
I'm running Yosemite 10.10.3 and Indigo 6.1.1.

In some of my looking around at the various options available to use (both in your plugin and the Phidget panel), I had turned off the Web Service in the Phidgets panel in the System Preferences. I figured that since I had a USB connection to my local MacMini that I did not need to turn on the Web Service. But after turning back on the Web Service and recreating all of my Phidget devices, they are now online and working again. I'm speculating that you assume that the Web Service must be turned on in your Phidget plugin startup?
