So I got a Current Cost EnviR energy monitor a few months ago and it works good. I downloaded the plug-in and installed the driver on my HomeTroller a couple weeks ago and was having weird intermittent problems with it. Basically I can't log energy info. The Device Manager sees the usb to serial cable and says its working. I also have the right COM port selected on the plug-in.
I then upgraded to HS 2.5.0.80 and no change so I unplugged the usb to serial cable and left it hanging.
Last week I was in the HomeTroller closet and decided to plug the prolific cable back in the usb to see if any info would be logged (it didn't). Later I was trying to access the HS web interface and it was not available and I also noticed none of my exterior lights were on like they usually are, as they are triggered by events.
I checked to see if the HomeTroller was on and it was. I tried logging in using RealVNC and it wasn't working, so I pushed the button on the front of the HT to turn it off and then turned it on again. I also unplugged the usb to serial cable and left it hanging again. Everything was working normally on HS and the HomeTroller.
Than this past Friday I plugged the usb to serial cable back in. Later I tried connecting to HSTouch and using the web interface and again it was not available, yet the HT was on. I restarted the HT and everything was fine for a little while and I went through this process until late last night when I finally unplugged the usb to serial cable and now everything is normal again.
