Leviton VRUSB owners: Does it work? - IVB - 01-27-2015 As per my massive issues on the other thread, wondering how many people have this working. I just tried calling Leviton, despite it being 10:45am PST they're closed, and their online chat is closed. WTH. Leviton VRUSB owners: Does it work? - pinballmark - 01-27-2015 I voted and it works under Win7 64 bit. That said, it's a terribly undocumented product especially mated with VRC0P. Once set up, it works great but frustrating to get there or make changes later from my experience. I only wanted to go down this hole for [Yale] lock support. Insteon/ISY is better for everything else. Leviton VRUSB owners: Does it work? - IVB - 01-27-2015 just got pointed to a CT thread where they said Amazon purchased VRUSB didn't work. Which is where I got mine. And past return date. Ugh. Buying one from AO as I really need zWave lock supports so I need the v2 driver, but I also need active notification. Leviton VRUSB owners: Does it work? - pinballmark - 01-28-2015 Mine was ordered from Amazon Dec 5 and was recognized without any problems. Leviton VRUSB owners: Does it work? - Deane Johnson - 01-28-2015 IVB, it is possible the CT post was mine. I returned one to Amazon after a Leviton tech told me it was defective. That was before I discovered the only way I could get it recognized was to have it plugged in before booting up. It may not actually have been defective. I don't know if this issue of having it plugged in before booting the computer is unique to my setup or not. It could be.

At this point i've tried a million different things to get the software to recognize it. I wish I hadn't trashed all my XP computers, I could see if its an OS thing or a hardware thing. Leviton VRUSB owners: Does it work? - Deane Johnson - 01-28-2015 I assume you've tried this, but if you have a 7.0 computer, try booting it up with the stick already installed. According to Leviton, it works with 7.0. I feel your frustration, I experienced it and did a lot of searching on here and CT for answers to programming Z-wave. The end result was the the Leviton Installer Tool is the way to go, primitive as it is. I stumbled into how to make it work on my old IBM Thinkpad.

According to Leviton, it works with 7.0. Thx. Tried that last night with my Win7Pro laptop, no love. I'll try calling Leviton again, and I might try buying another, but the issue is that I only have random moments to work on anything HA (which is why this one went out of warranty before I could get to debugging). Maybe Leviton will have mercy and do some form of exchange... Leviton VRUSB owners: Does it work? - Deane Johnson - 01-29-2015 "Maybe Leviton will have mercy and do some form of exchange..." Dreamer!:-) Leviton VRUSB owners: Does it work? - IVB - 01-31-2015 so now this is interesting. When I boot up the laptop with the Win7 machine and the VRUSB plugged in it doesn't recognize it. When I boot up the Win8 laptop with it plugged in, the RF software just hangs on start. Well, interesting != helpful, but its something. |
