Can't get Z-Wave to work on new Mac Mini
Posted: Thu Apr 13, 2017 6:52 pm
For several years, now, I have successfully run Z-Wave devices using Indigo 6.x. However my old Mac Mini won't run an OS that Indigo 7.x will run on, so I was forced to upgrade. Now I have a "new" Mac Mini (Late 2014). I ported everything over from the old Mini using setup assistant and a clone of the old startup disk. After further configuration Indigo 6 came up running. Connection to the Insteon controller worked fine, but there were multiple errors trying to connect to the Z-stick. I have a Z-Stick S2, Model DSA002203-ZWUS. I installed the Driver, Silicon Labs VCP Driver Installer.mpkg dated Tuesday, January 27, 2015 at 3:35 PM and restarted. No luck. The log filled with stuff like this:
I seem to recall having the same trouble the last time I tried to migrate to a new Mini a couple of years ago. Any suggestions about how to debug this? I mean besides https://xkcd.com/1822/
