October 7, 20232 yr Hello, thanks for this awesome plugin ! However I have an issue with Home Assistant and the new Sonoff ZigBee bridge USB Key. Each time my Unraid server comes out of sleep, I get a Virsh error on this USB device. I originally wanted to script a disconnection and reconnection of the key but your plugin provide a simpler way to do it than on the VM page. I just have to do VM detach and VM attach to some the error :). Would there be a way for me to script this, simpler, using your plugin ? If I could externally call your functions, it would be a neat way to do it. Thanks. Edited October 7, 20232 yr by dboris

Example of commands to run. rc.usb_manager is the name of the functions now the below was before the plugin was renamed.
October 7, 20232 yr I edited these commands by replacing and name of the VM with "HomeAssistant"... But somehow it calls a halt of the system and shut my sytem off when I wake it from sleep. Ah ah ah. I will investigate :). Edited October 7, 20232 yr by dboris

I tried reinstalling the plugin and rebooting without success.

October 8, 20232 yr It works. Reboot bug was because somehow virsh wasn't interpreting the VM name when using parenthesis. So the script part for sleep is : virsh suspend HomeAssistant rc.usb_manager vm_action HomeAssistant disconnect And wake up : rc.usb_manager vm_action HomeAssistant prepare virsh resume HomeAssistant
October 12, 20232 yr Hello i am trying to add my rtl 433 USB device to my home assistant VM . I am getting some virsh errors. root@Tower:~# cat /usr/local/emhttp/state/usb.ini | grep error virsherror = "" virsherror = 1 virsh = "error: Failed to attach device from /tmp/libvirthotplugusbbybusHassio-003-004.xml error: unable to stat: /dev/serial/by-id/: No such file or directory And the weirdest thing root@Tower:~# cd /dev/serial/by-id/. bash: cd: /dev/serial/by-id/.: No such file or directory I am at a lost in here , any advice on how to proceed ????

As far as I know only conbee ii needs to be connected as serial in HA. Your dev does not have a serial option hence the path is missing on the host.
November 9, 20232 yr I know this is really for VM's but it would be awesome if it could show the correct mappings that can be copied into docker configs. It's easy enough to go to /bus/usb/001/009 but its not as easy to find the /dev/ttly84575 type code Also bus numbers seem to change on reboots. What do you guys do for docker usb passthroughs? I guess this is why folks run home assistant as a VM lol. Trying to add the motherboard's intel bluetooth chip & a zigbee usb stick.. Strange though as frigate docker using google coral usb was handsfree working. Edited November 9, 20232 yr by dopeytree

November 17, 20232 yr Love the plug, and it works great. Is there a way to run a script when it detects a device? I have a KVM that has a USB hub that passes a USB keyboard/mouse dongle. I would like it to start a VM if it is not already running. Is it possible to add the option in the plugin to start the VM when a USB device is detected?

Is it possible to add the option in the plugin to start the VM when a USB device is detected? I did start to look at adding option to run a script but have not implemented as yet. But if it is just starting the VM if not started that should be a simple-ish add. Or option to run a user script from squids plugin may also be do-able.

November 17, 20232 yr Thanks you work fast. I tried it but does not seem to start the VM. Is at the start of the Plugin or when the USB device is plugged in and discovered? Edited November 17, 20232 yr by jzhvymetal

How have you set up the mapping? also what usb manager messages do you have in the log?

November 18, 20232 yr 3 minutes ago, SimonF said: No need to restart unraid. Have you set the switch in the device mappings as per my screen shot you will need to enable start vm switch. Yes I did.....see below. The KVM switches in a USB hub that the dongle is connected. Switching KVM port, It works perfect when the VM is on. When VM is off it does not start the VM.

November 18, 20232 yr Just now, SimonF said: I updated my post above. Will do some more testing tomorrow Ok thanks. No rush. I have my Unraid server 20m away in basement but I have my work laptop to start the VM. Most say to leave the VM running but I notice there is 40w less draw when it is sleeping. The goal is to start the VM remotely by just switching the KVM. In case others want a simular setup below is the hardware I'm using. Addional hub is not required but I use it be able to mount external storage without KVM on the Unriad port.

Again no rush......I tried renaming the VM to "Windows_11" and remapping the dongle and sitll does not start. It might be that the device is casecaded with multiple USB hubs? Let me know if there anything else needed for testing.
