it’s impossible to declare the rfxcom XL on my Vera Lite.
i try since several days.
i have upload the plugin files V1.96, and it’s the same problem. i can’t see the windows where we must configure the serial port (usb/Baud).
help
i ask me if the Vera Lite is compatible with a RFXCOM XL.
my hub have 7 or 8 years old. version U17. last version.
For create the device, with RFX XL, is it " D_RFXtrx.Xml" ?
Even if you do not have the RFXtrx plugin files uploaded to the Vera hub, you should still see a serial port that could be configured if you have the RFXtrx transceiver connected to the Vera hub USB port. If you have the RFXtrx connected to the hub but do not see a serial port then something else is wrong. Once you have the RFXtrx connected you have to do a LUUP reload OR a power cycle so that the Vera looks for connections to the USB port. You can force an LUUP reload by uploading a file - even if you had already reloaded the file before.
Hi Domotic,
the Problem is the Vera Lite. I had the same issue with my Vera Lite and an XL, so I gave up too and upgraded two years ago to a Vera Plus. That runs mostly fine.
I have the same problem you had, but then with the VeraPlus and RFXtrx433XL. I loses the connection 2-3 times a day and have to reboot the device. Then go into the serial [port settings and change them. Did you solve the problem?
It’s direct connected to the USB. It loses it’s connection at least once a day and full reboot of the controller is necessary to get in the web interface the serial settings. Is there a way to implement these permanently?
I believe that the serial port connections are detected during a reboot. I don’t think there is a way to set them permanently. Obviously the real problem is the initial loss of the connection. I don’t suppose you are experiencing brief loss of power or brown-outs? I’ve not heard of this kind of problem before.
I think to that the serial is only detected at reboot. That’s the only way to get it working again.
It’s not a problem of power loss or brown-outs, because it’s behind a UPS.
Actually it worked for a couple of months. Out of the blue the problem occurred and I can’t recall any change to the system.
So I guess something is breaking up?
The only thing I can suggest is try to eliminate variables. Since the problem seems to occur often, changing out components may isolate the problem quickly. Try without the UPS, swap USB cables. Over the years I’ve accumulated numerous power supplies. Perhaps you have an extra 12VDC 1.5Amp or better one?
You might want to look at the Vera log file to see if there are any clues there.
