Background:
I was running x10 on a Windows 7 PC but then the PC itself started crashing every now and then, so I thought I should anyway look for a non-PC solution.
I bought HomeSeer HomeTroller, reused the same CM11A device and USB to Serial adapter which was on the PC, installed the x10 plug-in and everything worked perfectly! It was running well for a few days, and even connected it to Alexa, so I thought I should get a backup HomeTroller and CM11A devices just in case.
I did the same thing with the new HomeTroller, it worked! And also swapped out the CM11A device and it worked!
Then I plugged the CM11A back into my original HomeTroller and I started to get the message "WARNING: Failed getting InterfaceStatus message". Then later, I tried the new HomeTroller and it also gave the same message.
Just in case it was the CM11A device or the USB to Serial cable, I connected it back to my Windows 7 PC and it works fine. I also cleared the memory of the CM11A using the HCA software on the Windows PC.
I tried reinstalling the HS4 software on the original device with no success. Also, upgraded to latest HS4 version 4.1.11.0 on the original device. Tried hard restart on both devices.
And perhaps this is normal, but even though the plug-in is installed and "enabled", I can't get to the x10 plugin config page anymore. Doesn't appear in the plugin menu and when I click More, the list is empty.
Help???
Thanks in advance!!
Update: Sorry, my original post had an error. I noticed soon after I posted but it would not allow me to edit or post a reply until the post was approved. The error was that I said when working, the port was port /dev/ttyS0 but of course, it was /dev/ttyUSB0
