Thomas, I have a LinkHub and a LinkHub-E. Both work very well from my Linux system.
Why do you want to know from the LinkHub which device is on which segment? Do they move around? I have always considered the hub model superior to the switches just because my sensors don't move and its a whole lot of work to manage the switch for no benefit. I have a static wiring diagram of which devices are on which segment, but my software doesn't care about that. The map also shows the order of devices in the daisy chain, which is what I really need for troubleshooting. The software needs the map of device to physical location. If you want to track segments, why not add that to your physical location database? Now the folks who build the LinkHub have a cool ibutton reader that sends it's own ID as well as the button's ID when it joins. This way you can tell where the ibutton is. jerry Thomas Hood wrote: > > Michael Weber-6 wrote: >> Anybody has some experience with the HA7NEt device?
