I got a new 2018 Mac mini this week and all of a sudden this problem has hit me. I followed the instructions and got the FTDI Driver installed and the Apple supplied one removed. Indigo connects to the 2412U on startup, etc, but the connection seems really flaky.
For example, turning a light on/off inside the Indigo app, the light actually turns on an off, but the log shows
Error "Basement Kitchen" off; send failed (no acknowledgment)
Error "Basement Kitchen" on to 100; send failed (no acknowledgment)
Any ideas on anything else I am missing? Given the issues with the Indigo PowerLinc, is there a different recommended device to use in its place?
Those issues aren't related to the driver - those just indicate that you have some signal noise. And given the reports we've had on the new 2018 mini working fine (not exhibiting the driver issue), I'm going to guess that it was never actually the driver issue but rather a signal noise issue that was somewhat coincidental with the Mac upgrade. Work through the
signal troubleshooting page to try to identify the signal issue you're seeing. I'd start first with a long outdoor extension cord from your PowerLinc to an outlet in another room and see if you continue to see those no acks. If they go away, then the noise is likely on the same circuit that you had the PowerLinc plugged into.
