I took delivery yesterday of a new Zee S2 and a CM15a. It replaces an existing HS2 installation running under Windows Vista.
- I followed the Getting Started Guide:
--I connected the Zee S2 to the network
--I connected the CM15a to the Zee S2 witht he USB cable and powered it up
--I powered up the Zee S2
- I went to the web interface and installed and enabled the CM15a Plug-in whose status is OK
- I created one X-10 device, a dimmable wall switch, using address A11 (I have no Z-Wave devices entered, yet)
- Went to Device Management and turned the X-10 device A11 on and off but it didn't work.
- I disabled/enabled the CM15A plug-in, rebooted the Zee S2, disconnected all cabled, reconnected all cables, but, no matter what I did, I can't get the X-10 device to work.
- Using the HS2 install, I can successfully turn the X-10 device A11 on and off
- So, I looked at the logs and can see the plugin was found but, every 5 seconds, I get the Connection Refused message
So, I ssh'ed into the Zee S2 and checked the /var/log/messages file for mochad info. I can see that mochad starts, finds the CM15A, and then terminates.
There is no mochad process running:
I started mochad from the command line: /usr/local/bin/mochad
I immediately saw the following in the Zee S2 log and the Connection Refused messages stopped
I connected up to mochad to test the connection to the CM15a. I successfully turned A11 on and off. I, also, turned A8 on and off from my HS2 installation to see if the Zee S2 picked it up (which it did).
I re-connected to mochad and went back to the Zee S2 web interface and, again, turn the X-10 device A11 on and off but it still does not work.
I see the following entries in the logs but mochad does not see them:
So, what's the problem here?
Here's the system info:
