Hello Is it possible to use a PLM via a usb to serial adapter. I don't have any serial ports and no available pci slots to add a serial card. The following is the output from lsusb: Bus 008 Device 002: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC I couldn't find anything on the wiki on how to setup and test connectivity for the right port.

You should be able to use your PLM on the USB serial port. You didn't mention your Linux distribution and version but since modern systems use udev, you should see a new device node, /dev/ttyUSB0 when you plug in the first USB serial device (or on boot). Just check with ls if it's there. If the device node is there, just use /dev/ttyUSB0 in place of /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/insteon in your mh.private.ini file (or arrange for udev to create the appropriate symbolic link). --Brad |

Yes, but make sure you get a full featured serial port emulator, and NOT just one of those cheap ones that are for plugging in a Palm pilot, etc. The cheaper ones don't completely emulate the serial port. I have a Keyspan USA-19HS and it works with the PLM on both windows and linux. -W williammanda wrote: > Hello > Is it possible to use a PLM via a usb to serial adapter.

Turn Insteon debug logging on to maximum. Run MH from a command window and it should report whether it finds the PLM and its' version etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "williammanda" <wil...@ne...> > OK so what should I use?

Thanks for the reply! I will do that when MH is working. I can't seem to get Tk loaded.
