Thank you very much for the great manual, it went buttery smooth!

So I´m running Home Assistant in a VM and for a while it went well. Now it crashes once or twice a day. Looking at the logs (see below) my guess would be that there is a problem with the pass through of my Zigbee dongle. In the config (also below) of the VM I don´t use the alias tty so i don´t get where this is coming from. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

I am moving my home assistant installation to my unraid server running on a vm. I used the snap shot function to move the installation. After I found this thread Installed the usb manager to pass through my conbee II stick to the home assistant. The stick shows up in the deconz app config but in deconz it is not connected and I also can´t connect it. Any idea what I am missing? Edit: I solved the problem on my own. Of course all the information was allready there. Maybe a little bit scattered for a rookie like me but I got it together. What I got worong was the fact that you need both the plugin "USB Manager" as well as the modification to the xml file. So for other rookies here is the way I did it. Also I would kindly ask the professionals in this forum to check this solution for mistakes. Get the plugin "USB Manager" and configure the conbee by clicking on the link in the first part of the line (marked in red). Configure it like in the next screen shot with the radio buttons toggled and assigned to the right vm. Then you need to get the id of your device by opening the console in unraid and type cd /dev/serial/by-id/, then enter. Next type ls. The part behind the "DE" except for the "@" is your id. You will need this in the next step. Edit your vm and toggle the xml view with the switch in the top right. Then search for the part where it says " </interface> " and after that put: <serial type='dev'> <source path='/dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_DE2XXXXXX-XXXX'/> <target type='usb-serial' port='1'> <model name='usb-serial'/> </target> <alias name='serial1'/> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='4'/> </serial> with your device id behind the "_Conbee_II_DE". Apply the changes and start the vm. Now you can enter the home assistant webserver and configure the deconz plugin by selecting your conbee stick and restart the plugin.
