Keep getting Cloud not open HID device

[kayintveen]

Hi,

keep getting StreamDeck.Transport.Transport.TransportError: Could not open HID device.
Tried disconnecting and reconnecting the deck also tried rebooting.

Only other thing i noticed is that the log file keeps saying
2021-09-23 12:22:24,191 - devdeck - WARNING - No settings file detected!
2021-09-23 12:24:43,234 - devdeck - WARNING - No settings file detected!

Not sure how to continue

2021-09-23 12:25:49,510 - devdeck - WARNING - No settings file detected!

Can I just check that you have followed the installation instructions here:

I'm seeing the same issue :

➜ ~ brew install hidapi
Warning: hidapi 0.11.2 is already installed and up-to-date.
To reinstall 0.11.2, run:

Same issue I cannot run devdeck as it seems hidapi has not been found. Even after trying to install it with brew or ports, neither works on macOS Monterey 12.4

I'm also facing the same error on MacOS Monterey 12.4

I am on MacOS Monterey 12.4 with M1 chip (don't really think the arch matters but adding it for troubleshooting data). I was able to get this working after uninstalling the Elgato Stream Deck software. With homebrew that command is: brew uninstall --cask elgato-stream-deck. Once that software was removed, devdeck ran successfully without the stacktrace mentioned here

[chadwoodhead]

I got it working. Turns out the Stream Deck application can't be running when you run devdeck. I didn't realize devdeck was a replacement for the Stream Deck's regular application. Now that I understand that, it makes since I had to quit the Stream Deck app first. But that now leaves me at back to finding a Slack plugin for the Stream Deck that I can use with the native Stream Deck app. If anyone has any suggestion send them my way!

@chadwoodhead I've been having some good success using the Slack keyboard shortcuts to handle various functions in Slack by using the Shortcuts Stream Deck plugin and Javascript/Applescript automation steps in custom Shortcuts I've built.
