I'm using ver 480 on a Raspberry Pi 2. I also use a 'Gearmo' Brand USB to 4 RS232 Port adapter.

I also experienced the same problem on version 478 on A Raspberry B+.

The com port setup is as follows:

 /dev/ttyUSB0 for Z-Stick
/dev/ttyUSB1 for X10 CM11
/dev/ttyUSB2 currently unused
/dev/ttyUSB3 for W800RF32
/dev/ttyUSB4 currently unused

(Ports USB1 through USB4 are on the 4 Port USB adapter.)

When setting up the com ports for the above on the 'Settings' screen, ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 can be successfully setup.  All of the above comm ports are listed as available when selecting ports.

However, when attempting to select the port for the W800RF32, ttyUSB3 can be selected. However, as soon as you go to another page, then go back to 'Settings', the com port for the W800RF32 is blank. Also, the computer does not receive the 800RF32 data.

I had to resort to shutting down HomeGenie, and hand editing the port info in the systemconfig.xml file, then restarting HG.

After the manual edit, the proper port is displayed in the 'Settings' page, and the W800RF32 is usable as normal.

I have not tried any other combinations of ports and port selections.
