VERA 2 Device Install

Well, I knew it was to good to be true. The plug-in loads properly without error and I have set the serial port. However, when I hit the start button (is it suppose to change color and stay that color until is stop) and reset the sensor, nothing happens. What is my next step. The sensor is sending a request for node id, which the gateway acknowledges, but it never send the node ID back. I tried looking at the Vera log, but there are just too many entries.

When my Vera3 fails to show the USB port for the Gateway (typically after a power cycle), I do the following to get it to recognize it.
- Unplug the gateway USB cable from the Vera3's USB port
- Click Reload on the upper right of the Vera dashboard and wait for reload to finish
- Plug the gateway USB cable into the Vera3's USB port
- Click Reload on the upper right of the Vera dashboard and wait for the reload to finish
- Navigate to Develop Apps->Serial Port to configure the port.
I don't know why the Vera removes the USB port if the device is power cycled while the gateway is connected but the steps above seem to reliably resolve it for me.

Here is my log. It seems the gateway startup ok and send the inclusion command. The node requests the ID, which the gateway acknowledge, but nothing happens after that.

I can't see that the inclusion mode was started in the log.
And what does the log say on the sensor when it requests an id? Does it receive anything?

Hmm.. yes.. it looks like serial communication only works one-way (from Nano to Vera) but not the other direction.
Gateway doesn't even reply on the request for version message.How is this even possible? Some strange setting in Serial port configuration?

Could try reducing the baud rate between gateway and vera. I had trouble communicating with the serial gateway at the highest speed (only 1 way communication), reducing to 9600 solved it.
yep, that might worth a try.
To update baud rate on gateway side, edit the following line in Sensor.h
#define BAUD_RATE 115200 -

I set the L_Arduino.lua to 9600. The mysensor plugin now states to set the it 9600. I set it to 9600 and reload. It again states to set the serial port 9600 (but it is set to 9600), and the plugin fails. Is there something else I need to change?what value is your serial port configuration page showing now?

what value is your serial port configuration page showing now?
@BulldogLowell It shows 9600

@wmylionel: Are you using Vera 2? If so what lines do you have in the /etc/cmh/serproxy.port file?
Thanks
