HubConnect - Trouble Adding new device

I have had HubConnect setup for a couple of months between 2 hubs...until yesterday, I only had one device added on my second hub, but had that shared successfully to the other hub. I added another device yesterday to the second hub, and went through the steps to select devices to synchronize to my Server Hub (and I added the appropriate driver) - I still can't see the device on my server hub. Am I missing a step syncing the device?

What do your logs say??

Whenever you cause a new device to be created, on the receiving hub, you'll get a log message:

app:8 2020-11-18 08:57:48.160 pm trace Creating Device HubConnect Lock - virtualLock... 192.168.7.54:67...

If there's a problem with creating it, you'll see it there in the logs.

Good call! I am getting an error, but not sure exactly what it means - this is an Aeotec Multisensor 6:

2020-11-19 10:41:00.813 am error... Uunable to create device Gun Safe: com.hubitat.app.exception.UnknownDeviceTypeException: Device type 'HubConnect Omnipurpose Sensor' in namespace 'shackrat' not found.

My guess is that you may need to install a driver on the receiving hub.

OK - I feel really stupid - no matter how many times I read the message about adding the driver to the SERVER hub, I was installing it on the REMOTE hub...thanks guys!!
