my usb adapter has a 5v/3.3v jumper, but after some white smoke i worked out it still puts out 5v when set to 3.3v - oops
#LOXONE SMART SOCKET SERIAL#
Usb to serial adapters have 5v and 3.3v flavours - the s20 needs 3.3v. Ok so everything arrived and after 10 minutes i killed my first s20 in a puff of smoke!
