Travis,
Does this plugin work with the TL-150?
Thanks,

@travisc - how about it?

What is the verification error when you try to save the config settings? If the settings can't save then the plugin definitely won't work.
The config screen used to always pop up when the plugin was first started, but that seemed to change after one of the betas. Now it seems you have to open it yourself.
Are you selecting a valid serial port? If you are, turn on Debug and PM me the relevant log lines.

Thanks for getting back to me. Unfortunately I've only ever managed to get to the config popup twice and didn't get info from the log either time. I don't think I can accurately find those locations in the log now.
When Indigo starts, or I reload the plugin, I never get the popup automatically. I get one of the comm error messages shown in red in my original post in both cases. If I try to use the menu to get the config popup, I get the spinning beachball until another of the comm error messages gets posted. I do have a serial interface connected via a keyspan USB converter, but I am unable to get to the config screen to set it up.
BTW I upgraded indigo to 5.0.0 release (no beta) and it hasn't made a difference. I've tried removing and re-installing both Indigo and the plugin with no change.

No change when I delete the prefs file, although note that the prefs file does not seem to get re-created on the next start of the plugin (although I haven't made it to the config screen successfully yet tonight).
