Hi
I´ve been running with RFXCOM in other HA platforms and now lately for approx 2 years with Indigo.
During these 2 years I have had random "disconnects" of the RFXtrx433e unit and up until half a year ago it helped with re-cycling power on the RFXtrx433e by removing the USB cable but approximately half year ago that did not help anymore and I had to restart my Mac Mini in order to get RFXtrx433e connected with my Mac Mini and Indigo again.
I have the RFXtrx433e with latest firmware (version 251 and I see that there has been a firmware 1001 released 18th Feb this year) and the Indigo RFXCOM plugin I am using is version 1.7.9.
I have also updated the USB FTDI driver recently (where can I see what version I am on?) as well as updated my Mac Mini with latest OS (currently on El Capitan 10.11.4).
This is the error messages I see and only a reboot will help:
RFXCOM Debug getConfiguration start
RFXCOM Error "RFXCOM serial port" serial port open error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/cu.usbserial-A1Y0756V'
RFXCOM Error make sure the USB virtual serial port driver (ex: FTDI driver) is installed and correct port is selected
RFXCOM Error serial port could not be opened
RFXCOM Debug getConfiguration start
RFXCOM Error "RFXCOM serial port" serial port open error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/cu.usbserial-A1Y0756V'
RFXCOM Error make sure the USB virtual serial port driver (ex: FTDI driver) is installed and correct port is selected
RFXCOM Error serial port could not be opened
RFXCOM Debug getConfiguration start
RFXCOM Error "RFXCOM serial port" serial port open error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/cu.usbserial-A1Y0756V'
RFXCOM Error make sure the USB virtual serial port driver (ex: FTDI driver) is installed and correct port is selected
RFXCOM Error serial port could not be opened
And after reboot it still has the same serial port number and is working:
RFXCOM initializing communication on port /dev/cu.usbserial-A1Y0756V at speed 38400
RFXCOM Debug serial port opened
My system profiler shows the following info for the RFXtrx433e but I am unsure where I can find what version of the FTDI USB/serial driver I am running on:
