Pi3, RFXtrx and P1 coverter cable not working

1

Hello!

I have a Raspberry Pi 3b setup with HA installed on it. I have a z-wave board on the pins and in one of the USB ports is a RF transceiver. (RFXtrx)

Today I installed a smart meter P1 converter cable. Which worked immediately.

Downside, I lost control of my RF transceiver.

I have a feeling that they maybe conflict with eachother since they’re both on USB. But I don’t know where to start or how to check. I am wondering if there’s anyone with a similar setup.

Edit: I found that it has something to do with /dev/ttyUSB0 as both devices use that. Can I make one of them use USB1 or doesn’t it work that way?

You can try to use the path to the device that is in /dev/serial/by-id/ . The advantage is that the number does not change from usb0 to usb1 or vice versa, when you add this. The full path should look like:

/dev/serial/by-id/usb-RFXCOM_RFXtrx433_A1Y0NJGR-if00-port0

Note that the name can be slightly different in your case.
