Veralite shows serial port as Not Available

Since we have changed USB chips in the AD2USB, the default driver on the Vera does not successfully find our device right off the bat and there are a few steps that need to be completed to get the AD2USB to show up in the serial port configuration of the Ademco plugin.

So, here we are:

1. type: lsusb <enter>
- this will list all the vendor and product id for usb ports and adapters on your vera
- the AD2USB will show up as 0403:6015, 0403:6010 or 0403:60xx for example. Write this down as it is your "vendor id:product id"
- if you're not sure which your AD2USB is, unplug your AD2USB and type "lsusb". Plug it in and type "lsusb". See which line was added. That is your adapter's info. It is important to get the correct vendor id and product id!
2. type: rmmod -f ftdi_sio <enter>
- we are removing the existing ftdi driver for the AD2USB. We will add one specifically for the AD2USB adapter next. Ignore errors as when we reboot at the end this will not matter.
3. type: insmod vendor=0x403 product=0x6015 <enter> (replace the values with your found vendor id and product id)
- this loads the driver specifically for your AD2USB adapter
4. type: echo "ftdi_sio vendor=0x403 product=0x6015" > /etc/modules.d/65-usb-serial-ftdi <enter> (replace the values with your found vendor id and product id)
- this allows your vera to autoload drivers for the AD2USB even after reboot or power cycles. the original file just has "ftdi_sio"
5. type: echo "vendor:0403 product:6015" > /etc/cmh/serproxy.ports <enter> (replace the values with your found vendor id and product id)
- this allows vera 3 to see the new adapter as a serial adapter and adds it to the UI.
6: Reboot your Vera and you should have the correct modules loaded.
