Zwave interface Port # not saving

[James]

Every time I reboot My server I lose the port setting for the Z-stick ( port4 ) in my case, I can set it back up and it will work fine until I have to reboot or lose power.
I don't remember having this issue with the earlier versions so I'm wondering if maybe there is something I'm not setting up correctly?

I would like to be able to auto start after a power failure or a reboot, any1 have any Ideas what I'm missing or doing wrong?

You can check if port settings are saved by opening the text file:

/usr/local/bin/homegenie/systemconfig.xml

look nearby the end of the file

Code: [Select]

....
<Interface Domain="HomeAutomation.ZWave" IsEnabled="false">
        <Options>
          <Option Name="Port" Value="/dev/ttyUSB0" />
        </Options>
</Interface>
...

if settings are saved, then probably it means that, by the time hg starts, the serial port is not available yet.
So putting a delay before hg startup might solve the issue.

/usr/local/bin/homegenie/startup.sh

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
sleep 10
if [ -f /usr/bin/mono ]
then
        MONO=/usr/bin/mono
else
        MONO=/usr/local/bin/mono
fi
cd $1 && sudo $MONO HomeGenie.exe >/dev/null  2>&1

the sleep 10 will delay the startup by 10 seconds. You will probably have to tune up this value.
