Hi Ed,
I haven’t tried with the Essentia but got the Grand Concerto working fine. They both use the same protocol and I have always viewed then as interchangeable. I do have an Essentia around so could always give it a try.
A couple of thoughts which you have probably already got past:
-
Can you configure the Essentia via the serial port and Serial->USB cable you are using for the HA integration? Can we confirm that the cable works?
-
Have you confirmed the USB port reference - I found myself double-checking the port ID via SSH as I wasn’t sure about the sequence on my HA box. I have the shell addon within HA and then used the command dmesg (I don’t have lusb available):
dmesg | grep tty
...and at the end I get confirmation of the two USB devices I have
usb 1-1.3: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
usb 1-1.4: ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB1
USB0 is the Nuvo cable. I have a zigbee stick on USB1.
Kind regards,
Tom
