pivccu3 does not detect HB-RF-USB-2 and forgets it after (hacky) configuration

[otbe]

Hi,

since several years I use YAHM on a pi3 together with openhab. Some time ago I decided to switch to a pi4 and use piVCCU3 instead of YAHM. Therefore I ordered a HB-RF-USB-2, mounted my old HM-MOD-RPI-PCB on it and installed piVCCU3 via https://github.com/alexreinert/piVCCU/blob/master/docs/setup/raspberrypi.md.

First thing I noticed was that the installation routine only shows

I expected somehow a USB device there !? lsusb shows Bus 001 Device 003: ID 10c4:8c07 Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc which is HB-RF-USB-2 I guess.

I proceeded and selected HM-MOD-RPI-PCB, the device selection screen afterwards did not showed anything useful. So I didnt selected something and just confirmed via OK.

The CCU3 WebUI is accessible via IP and I restored a backup of my YAHM CCU2 installation. I did all the YAHM migrations things listed here https://github.com/alexreinert/piVCCU#migration-from-other-systems

And what should I say? Everything worked perfectly. My devices are still there and reachable (via OpenHab).

So whats my issue? 🤔

After every reboot it stops working. The CCU3 WebUI says that some components (BidCos) do not work properly. pivccu-info yields

All the unknowns confused me a little bit 🤷‍♂️ So I tried to re-run the configuration step via sudo dpkg-reconfigure pivccu3. Its the same like the first time, no USB devices and no useful output on the selection screen but it works afterwards. The output of pivccu-info looks better now (its the same like after the very first time)

The only difference in outputs is the IPv6 address but I cant imagine a scenario where this matters.

Im a little bit lost now and grateful for any tips 🤗

My setup:

• PI4
• piVCCU 3.51.6-41

Edit: A simple restart of the service also fixes the issues 🤔

Besteht das Problem mit der 3.53.34 noch?

Jep works now. Thanks 👍
