Hi Robert,

I had a similar problem with a weather station a while ago with a USB 
attached Weather station.  It randomly disappeared and I had to re-start 
the daemon. I fixed the problem in the end by giving the USB device its 
own entry in the udev system so that it was given the same port number 
every time.

This may or may not apply to your case.
