HELP!! USB0 disappeared from Domoticz
Posted: Sunday 18 November 2018 18:53
OK i'll make this quick as at present I'm in a bit of a panick !!
RPI3 run Domoticz 4.9700 and RFXCOM, just starting to play with MQTT so to be safe I setup a RPI2 with Domoticz and Mosquitto (different IP) so i wouldn't inadvertantly break anything on my running system. Decided that I should probably update my running system anyway as you are supposed to keep it updated, right!!
SSH in and ran sudo apt-get update, once completed ran sudo apt-get upgrade, all installed fine no errors, then domoticz started saying it couldn't communicate with the RFXCOM, rebooted system - no change.
Checked setup/hardware in Domoticz, decided to change the RFXCOM setting from dev/ttyUSB0 to dev/serial1 the idea being to change it back again after to see if flipping the port type would make a difference only to find dev/ttyUSB0 has now vanished and cannot be selected
SSH into pi with command lsusb and it lists a device connected with an FTDI chip in it, I know this is the RFXCOM as if I unplug it it dissappears from the list if you run lsusb again so as far as I can tell the usb etc is working OK, just not visible in Domoticz.
Does anyone have any ideas regarding this as I'm running out of time tonight
Thanks
