I use a Raspberry Pi 2 for HomeGenie, and I need several serial ports.
I have a serial port server that I connect to via TCP using socat.
I created an init file that starts four instances of socat in the background which creates 4 virtual com ports that are symlinked in /dev called ttyLAN2-1 through ttyLAN2-4.
I can use miniterm and connect to the virtual port called /dev/ttyLAN4 (for example) and if I put a loopback connector on the port of the serial port server, I can see my typing. So I know the ports are good.
However, when I go to HomeGenie Configure/Settings/X10 Interface Options/Device Port, the Ports aren't listed.
I've tried starting my socat init file, then waiting anywhere from seconds to minutes before starting Homegenie (in case there was a delay creating the ports), which made no difference.
Anyone have any other ideas or suggestions?
