Contents • • • • • • Introduction This is a page for Supported USB, or USB-Serial, interface devices. USB, and USB-Serial, devices need to be recognized by Vera's platform before they can be used to interface with the target device (through a Luup Module). There are many USB-Serial devices out there, and not all will work out of the gate. The Tm Technique By Peter Russell Pdf Printer more. This page is intended to capture the list of known USB Devices that have been tried with Vera, along with their current status, and any information required to get them working.

This is a wiki, so feel free to add to the page. Disclaimer IMPORTANT! The devices listed here have been added by installers, technicians and users like yourself.

Results may vary upon installations. MiCasaVerde does not guarantee operation and compatibility with your installation. The listed devices were found to work with their specific installation. Mixing different series and brands of equipment is not guaranteed in any way to work with other series and brands. It is very likely that users have not fully tested all features of the devices, so it is possible that a device listed here as compatible, will not prove compatible with your hardware. If you are editing this wiki DO NOT REMOVE a listed working device if it hasn't worked for you. Seek help to get the device to work under your individual circumstance.

If you are adding to this wiki, please provide links to data for the device and add any tips you feel may benefit someone wanting to implement the device into an installation.

The OS is correctly recognizing the Chip, and all 8x Serial ports, but Vera's 'Serial Port Config' isn't working correctly against it as it's using a naming strategy that creates duplicate names.

Only $10 on Amazon Bytecc BT-DB925 Manual 1 Prolific - PL-2303 This one is listed in guessed's posting. It requires a series of manual configuration steps, and OS-Level access to Vera, to get it working. BAFO DX SKU 5947 Manual 1 Prolific - PL-2303 N/A Well built, recognized by OpenWrt, Ubuntu, Windows, etc. On Vera it will require manual edits made through SSH. See details on nanckekr's post: N/A DX SKU 22407 Not working 1 Prolific - PL-2303 N/A Intermittent USB recognition errors on Vera; but does work on Kamikaze SYBA N/A Not working 1 Prolific - PL-2303 N/A USB recognition errors on Linux distros and OpenWRT SerialStuff* USBG-4FTDI* Working 11/2006 4 FTDI FT232BL*? 4 serial ports. Just plugged it in and it worked.

There's also a 2-port model from the same place- that MIGHT work also. I assume it's FTDI becasue vera names the ports 'ftdi_sio'. Fires right up from vera1's u sb port- but in case power is an issue it has a 5v input on the back so you can make it self powered. It's pretty generic- no name- etc. But feels solid- metal case and never had a problem with it over the years on a pc.

NOTE: *=I think it's the same as this page where I found that info Ethernet-Serial Devices Manufacturer Model # Status Date Purchased #RS-232 Ports Chipset Specs Purchased from Added by User Notes WizNet WIZ110SR Working Jan 2010 1 WIZnet This is a stripped down Ethernet-enabled Serial/RS-232 Port. It's useful in situations where you might otherwise need a GC-100 to get 'just a serial port' to connect to a TV, Amplifier etc. Don't forget to get yourself a 5V Power supply to drive it, or alternatively use a USB-5V Power code (as I do).
