Rfxtrx stoped working overnight - usb path not available?

rfxtrx stoped working, all my switches are gone!

worked for 6 months, stopped working from one day to the other. didn’t even update manually.

i have not changed ANYTHING (not even the slightest) so it cannot be a config issue with hass.io

rfxtrx module cannot be initialized because

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/ttyACM0'

with terminal and hassio hardware info i found that its not ttyACM0 anymore but ttyUSB0, when i try it with this i get this stacktrace;

Error during setup of component rfxtrx

no light switching for me ):
anything i could fix here? what happend there?

stupid question, have you tried to reboot your RPi?
What does your config show for rfxtrx:?

Not a stupid question… sadly…

I did restart multiple times through the UI, but never actually disconnected the power and reconnected…

I feel very stupid now.
After your post i did, and it worked!

Thanks, sorry for the post!

He he no worries. A restart through the ui will only restart ha. You’re issue was hardware related. It’s a good idea to plan a computer restart about once a month to avoid issues like the ones you just experienced
