Hi there,
So, I haven't posted here in a good while, and have been very busy all summer.
I leave for school in 2 days and unfortunately this means the first time I'll be away from my hobby of automating my house.
Anyway, since about December of 2011 I've been using HomeSeer on the same PC and my mother and I have been the only two in the house that have been somewhat "dependent" on HomeSeer to be able to turn on/off lights and run thermostats, etc, until yesterday.
This is the problem:
HomeSeer will not recognize anything powered by USB. This means my ZWave controller, Insteon controller, AD2USB Alarm Controller, etc. I'm unsure if this is a problem with the computer or with HomeSeer, but all I'm getting in the log is a constant flood of "Cannot open COM port 9, will keep trying...: Unable to obtain a handle to the COM port" for ZWave and "Initializing interface: Insteon-Could not open COM8 - The port 'COM8' does not exist." for Insteon.
The two main technologies that run my house are now offline and I'm leaving for college in 2 days. I need some help or suggestions to figure this out ASAP.
Could it be that all the USB ports on my PC have failed? I don't know what else to try or where else to ask.
Also, on the setup page, it shows "N/A" for Com Port for nearly every plug-in
This makes me think it's a PC error but I don't know what else to try.
Every suggestion is welcome. Thanks in advance! - Brandon
