For me Universal Control was working perfectly with my StudioLive 24 using firewire cable.
I recently upgraded my Mac to High Sierra. After the upgrade , I also updated by Universal Control to 2.5.2
But since upgrade UC is not able to show all devices. All those menu options are disabled.
I cross checked on Mixer and on computer for all steps as listed in

But when I start UC everything seems disabled
