    that's sounds great - I might give that a go.

    were you able to use the same PI .iso that you posted or do I need to start from scratch ?

      I started from scratch, and just did a standard Linux build. It's pretty quick.

        Hi Paul - thanks for the push, working here too

        did you find a way to permanently assign the HGI80 USB port to the domoticz VM - from what I can gather you have to reassign it if you have to reboot the NAS

          I've not noticed that - reboots have been fine, I think. But then I don't reboot the NAS very often.

          AH - you're right. Just done a reboot.

          That's a pain. Wonder whether there's a way to force it?

          Strange thing is, I have another VM (Windows in this instance) on another Qnap which talks over a USB-Serial converter to a UPS, and that one always connects OK after a reboot.

            Seems to be a fix here. Will try later.

              was reading that exact thread - can't reboot to check though !

                Paul where did you get the drivers for the HGI80 to put on the RPI?

                  Lots and lots and lots of Googling. Really struggled to find something that worked. Can't remember where I grabbed the file from, eventually.

                    I'm sure I extracted them from a full Debian image. I'll try and double-check later today as I'm also sure I didn't have to mess around at all grabbing drivers when I installed the latest Ubuntu image on my NAS. The HGI80 worked just by plugging it in.

                      Thank you so much. As always it's the things that people don't see that take the most effort. Do you have the zip file or package? Or atleast a list of all the files and locations.i'very noticed the .fw and the udev file but what else?

                        same as Dan - drivers were included on the Ubuntu image:

                        it's a Texas Instruments TUSB3410 Boot Device

                          The issue hits you when you are installing from source and starting from scratch. Also apparently the driver/firmware needs to be compiled for the kernel version you are using too. So any time the operating system changes you are left with a driver that won't work. Having recently finished installing Domoticz on my Synology (Debian Chrooted), and it was the HGI80 drivers that caused me the most grief. Luckily there is a guy that compiles these for Synology.

                            Easiest thing would be to just grab the bits from my card image.

                            I don't remember where I got the bits from - I just remember spending a few hours downloading and tweaking until I got something that worked.

                            I know the latest Ubuntu has drivers included - don't think they are in any of the Raspbian builds, though.

                              I can do that, but what all should I be grabbing?

                              Code:
                              pi@raspberrypi:/lib/firmware $ ls -l t*
                              -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13765 Dec 14 19:33 ti_3410.fw
                              Code:
                              pi@raspberrypi:/etc/udev/rules.d $ ls -l 4*
                              -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 377 Dec 14 19:39 46-hgi80_usb.rules
                              What else?

                                That might be it, but I'm not sure.

                                Maybe take a look at all the files modified on that date. I think you'd need something like:

                                find / -newermt 2016-12-14 ! -newermt 2016-12-15 -ls

                                Sorry my brain is so mouldy!
