Hi all,
I need some help regarding the symlink in combination with the RFXCom binding. Symlinks are needed since I use 3 USB devices at the moment and more could be coming.
I am running openHab 1.8.3 on a raspberry pi with the raspbian distribution.
I followed all the steps pointed out in the wiki instructions:
create a symlink in the /etc/udev/rules.d/ directory:
pi@DomoticServer:/etc/udev/rules.d $ ls -al
totaal 24
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 dec 19 19:42 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 nov 25 18:21 …
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 151 dec 19 19:42 50-usb-serial.rules
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 153 dec 19 19:43 51-usb-serial.rules
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 153 dec 19 19:43 52-usb-serial.rules
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 983 mrt 21 2016 99-com.rules
content of the 50-usb-serial.rules:
SUBSYSTEM==“tty”, ATTRS{idVendor}==“0403”, ATTRS{product}==“RFXtrx433”, ATTRS{serial}==“A1Z7F1QV”, SYMLINK+=“USBrfxcom”, GROUP=“dialout”, MODE=“0666”
This creates the symlink in the /dev directory:
pi@DomoticServer:/dev $ ls -al USBrfxcom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 dec 19 20:32 USBrfxcom -> ttyUSB1
pi@DomoticServer:/dev $ ls -al ttyUSB1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root dialout 188, 1 dec 19 21:19 ttyUSB1
Then I added the symlink to the openhab file /etc/init.d/openhab

Restarting Openhab however results in:

The connection fails (changing to ttyUSB1 does work however).
What could be wrong?
Many thanks for all you suggestions and help.
