I have similar issue (I think) with my X10 PLM interface.  Earlier releases of HG would remember that my X10 CM11 is on COM5.  Now I have to go into interfaces and select COM5 each time I have to restart (Win7).

Good evening,

I have the same here with X10 and DLNA (the only two I have set up) on Windows XP. Every time HG starts I have to switch on X10 and DLNA.

Regards and cheers

I had the same issue for a while, this response was from Gene and it helped me.

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.

For a Windows 7 64 Bit Machine your looking for:
C:Program FilesHomeGeniesystemconfig.xml

-<Interface IsEnabled="true" Domain="HomeAutomation.ZWave">
  -<Options>
     <Option Value="COM3" Name="Port"/>
   </Options>
</Interface>
