View source for Serial Supported Hardware

This page is not yet complete...

=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.

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.'''

| 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).  Initial configuration of the device requires a Windows machine to run the configuration tool (DHCP, Baud Rate/Parity etc).  Note that getting this "connected" to Vera is a manual process at this time.  http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php?topic=2989.0
