Thank you for this info I was looking for how to setup udev, my PLM seems to reset itself at odd times and can bounce around to different tty #'s when it came back up. Not sure what is causing this reset : Jul 25 21:30:59 kitchen kernel: hub 3-0:1.0: port 2 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling...

Mabye your hub is not getting enough power from the PC and should be powered. You can also try another hub, and plugging your USB to serial converter directly into your PC.

Maybe getting a 4 port USB2.0 PCI card would be better than using a hub? I had issues with my gaming PC and my USB devices. I wound up getting an addin card, and plugging everything directly into the computer directly. My gaming machine has the following items. 1. USB Keyboard. 2. USB Mouse. 3. Logitech G13 Gamepad. 4. Microsoft Fingerprint reader. 5. APC Battery Backup. 6. USB Printer. 7. USB Card reader. 8. USB Ports on the side of my Dell Monitor. I then plug a USB wireless headset into the side of the monitor when I want to use it, and use the speakers when I'm not gaming. Sometimes booting up the fingerprint reader wouldn't be detected, or I would get the mouse and keyboard having issues, depending on what was plugged directly into the PC. -- -=/>Thom |

It is connected directly into my PC, so not sure what is going on there. Oh and it looks like your wiki software may have stripped the == chars from your udev statements. You have : SUBSYSTEMS"usb", ATTRS{product}"FT232R USB UART", ATTRS{serial}="A7006gvN", SYMLINK+="usb-serial-ftdi-8_1" I believe you want : SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{product}=="FT232R USB UART", ATTRS{serial}=="A7006gvN", SYMLINK+="usb-serial-ftdi-8_1" On Tue, Jul 27, 2010 at 3:09 PM, Marc MERLIN <ma...@me...> wrote: > On Tue, Jul 27, 2010 at 02:52:11PM -0500, Chris Engel wrote: > > Thank you for this info I was looking for how to setup udev, my PLM seems > to > > reset itself at odd times and can bounce around to different tty #'s when > it > > came back up.

One of the problems with USB Hubs is that if too much power is drawn it will shut down the devices requesting power. This is especially true of un-powered usb hubs. The suggestion of the PCI USB card is a good pone as it works around these problems and it's faster as everyone's not on the same single USB port. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry nc...@li... http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies |

[root@kitchen ~]# grep "disabled by hub" /var/log/messages Aug 8 08:26:31 kitchen kernel: hub 3-0:1.0: port 2 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling... <---- prior to the move to the USB hub Aug 9 02:52:13 kitchen kernel: hub 1-6:1.0: port 1 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling... Aug 9 14:36:53 kitchen kernel: hub 1-6:1.0: port 1 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling... So I guess the next step would be the PCI usb card. This wouldn't bother me too much if misterhouse recovered but as soon as this fails I loose communication to the PLM. The W800 on the same hub doesn't have any issues. Does mh open the device for each operation or does it keep it open? I have udev rules in place so I always have a static filename to use to open the plm no matter what ttyUSBx device it gets assigned, but if mh doesn't reopen the device each time it will not help this issue. So I did a 'reset serial' under the PLM and now I have communication back, has to be a cleaner way then to schedule that to run every so often. -- Chris |

It did indeed, thanks for noticing. http://marc.merlins.org/perso/linuxha/2010-06.html#Dealing-with-many-USB-to-Serial-Port-Converters-on-linux-and-device-naming is fixed now.

I finally got around to making this work but on my Fedora 12 installation I had to name the file 99-local-usb-serial.rules in order for the link to be declared properly. Here is what I came up with for my insteon USB plm and another USB->Serial adapter SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{product}=="FT232R USB UART", ATTRS{serial}=="A6004uxK", SYMLINK+="insteon_plm", MODE="0666" SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{manufacturer}=="Prolific Technology Inc. ", ATTRS{product}=="USB-Serial Controller D", SYMLINK += "usb-serial-1" KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", MODE="0666" Thanks for the pointers to get started. -- Chris |
