Hello everyone,
I have an interesting issue that I am 100% sure I was the cause of... I have an old Dell PowerEdge server running Windows 2016 that I use as my HS4 server and the SmartStick+ is connected to the server. I was tinkering around with a different Homeseer setup on a VM using a Oracle VirtualBox instance on that server. I disabled the Z-Wave plugin on the main server, and added it to the VM. I was able to see it and use it and I got my testing done and disabled the Z-Wave plugin in the VM, and unchecked the SmartStick+ from the Oracle VirtualBox which should have made the stick visible to the Host OS but I am getting errors when I try and start the Z-Wave plugin on the host server.
WARNING: Failed getting InterfaceStatus from Z-Wave - the interface was not found in the list of active interfaces, the list may need to be refreshed.
The log shows this error:
Initializing plug-in(1): Z-Wave Instance::Error registering web pages with the HomeSeer server: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Service Version: NO_VERSION-> Server stack trace: Exception rethrown at [0]: at System.Runtime.Remoting.Proxies.RealProxy.HandleReturnMessag e(IMessage reqMsg, IMessage retMsg) at System.Runtime.Remoting.Proxies.RealProxy.PrivateInvoke(Mess ageData& msgData, Int32 type) at HomeSeerAPI.IHSApplication.RegisterPage(String pageName, String PluginName, String PluginInstance) at HSPI_ZWave.HSPI.InitIO(String port) Time to load: 209 milliseconds
So I have tried to completely remove the USB device from the VirtualBox system. I also completely uninstalled VirtualBox just in case there was something that was capturing it there. But nothing I do seems to work and I can't figure out how to release it from what ever has captured it so I can add it back to my HS4 setup.
I have also deleted the USB device from device manager, I also deleted it and removed the drivers and completely reinstalled, all no joy. Kinda suck here.
I know the SmartStick works, because I have another HS system that I plugged it into and it was recognized and worked properly.
Any assistance or ideas you have would be welcomed.
