It should not be selected in the template. You should select the /dev/serial/by-id/usb-QEM....... name in HA

I've restarted a couple of times and in de serial device path I've tried both the prefilled and ID path you recommended but still is says Connected(Outside) in the USB tab and it won't connect trough ZHA.
November 2, 20223 yr Community Expert Remove any entries from the XML, Connected(Outside) means that the USB device is attached outside of USB Manager. Make sure not selected in template. VM must be stopped and then started for USB Manager to map correctly. Status should say Connected(serial). Once it is connected you should be able to attach in HA

Once it is connected you should be able to attach in HA I decided that it was probably better that i would make a fresh VM with the conbee connected. It does say in the USB tab that it is connected(Serial) which is a good start. It shows in Homeassistant but when I add it it doesn't show me the option to select a radio format(I believe it's called something like that. You can select what kind of zigbee adapter you are using) I can only choose one of the options shown below for the network formation. Erase network settings an form a new network only gives errors. and Keep radio network settings loads the integration but is also giving an error which i added below the other picture.

Did you get it to work or is it still not working?
November 7, 20223 yr I updated my Unraid from 6.9.2 to 11.1.2. At first HA with Conbee II and serial passthrough didn't work. I changed nothing in HA or somewhere else with a code or so. In Unraid I switched the Conbee device to serial connect. In HA i had to reconfigure the 'radio'. Here I chose the emulated USB with QEMU and not the Conbee Stick. After that everything worked perfectly. No change in code or somewhere else. It's stable and working.

How are you mapping the USB device. You need to map as a serial device and will show in HA like this If you are using my plug, mappings need to be as follows:

Almost identical on the HA side. Update: I just installed an USB extender and that was the issue. It was too close to my Z-Wave USB and possibly too close to the computer for it's liking. This was the reason why it was failing the radio setup thanks for your help though! 1 hour ago, SimonF said: If you are using my plug, mappings need to be as follows: Edited November 11, 20223 yr by sterling90

I've checked my dashboard, I've checked under the USB manager settings, and I can't seem to see this option to activate serial mapping on my Conbee 2. Thanks! If you click on the port or device icon it will take you to the settings.
February 22, 20233 yr @SimonF I just wanted to say thank you for this! I had been having trouble with my ConBee II, and when I finally found this it worked perfectly! Thank you for all your work on this!! -Chase
March 6, 20233 yr Hello, I am having this issue. I am having some trouble following the instructions. Right now in the "USB" tab via USB Manager I have this setup. When going into the USB Settings there is both "Device" and "Port" settings. I do not think my Conbee is attached in "serial" mode. Where are the "hardware" screenshots coming from? I am having trouble finding that.

I do see connect(serial) now. I wonder if I need to change a setting in HomeAssistant. I now see this error when the HomeAssistant Zigbee add-on starts. Note, I have removed the serial number from these logs: Error setting up entry ConBee II, s/n: XXXX8982 - dresden elektronik ingenieurtechnik GmbH for zha Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/serial/serialposix.py", line 322, in open self.fd = os.open(self.portstr, os.O_RDWR | os.O_NOCTTY | os.O_NONBLOCK) FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_XXXX58982-if00' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/serial/serialposix.py", line 325, in open raise SerialException(msg.errno, "could not open port {}: {}".format(self._port, msg)) serial.serialutil.SerialException: [Errno 2] could not open port /dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_XXXX58982-if00: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_XXXX58982-if00' Seems closer, also seems like possibly the mount for serial/by-id is wrong?

Hopefully this info is helpful, thank you again.

March 9, 20233 yr I'm sorry I must be blind. I do not see "Hardware" under settings on my Unraid server. In your screenshot is I see Hardware in my HomeAssistant VM but it looks different from the screenshot. I've attached screenshots of what I think are the relevant pages. I currently have a Z Wave stick passed through (working on the Wave integration), and the Conbee II for Zigbee
October 18, 20232 yr For anyone else running though this and struggling like i did, here are the Basic errors i made spelt out. in the hope it will help someone, or me if i ever need to go though this again in the future. After spending several hours going through this forum and some home assistant ones - i undid everyting and restarted from scrach and found a basic error/assumption i had made on unraid that solved my issue. I updated the conbee 2 firmware folling this - Conbee Firmware update (this is the only change i didn't roll back.) i plugged the conbee stick into a USB extension cable (2m) and moved it away from other elecrtical devices. UNRAID: in USB Manager - this is were my basic mistake happened... i mapped the device NOT the port by clicking on the monitor not the usb symbol. -previously i was mapping the port instead of the device. Made sure connect as serial only was selected, powered up the VM. USB manager showed "connected(Serial). in HA: Version 2023.10.3 latest at time of writing. HA Did not detect the conbee stick as being connected - attaching the via the port It was detecting it. - but failing Settings --> System --> Hardware -->all Harware. the stick now shows as dont exactly know why but hey ho.. going back to device and services and adding the integration Zigbee home automation, and follwoing the promts set a new network up for me without any problems. Hope this helps someone or future me... Edited October 18, 20232 yr by Belcraig
January 20, 20242 yr anyone else with a conbee 2 been down since december? I have and cannot seem to get it back working. I upgraded the firmware using a separate laptop, have USB manager set to connect as serial and right now its showing up as QEMU in HA. I've also had it showing as dresden, but it fails to connect during the integration install no matter what I try. I've rebooted, I've tried different integrations, i've done it all. I think its something with unraid but can't figure it out. I'm on unraid 6.12.6 and home assistant 2024.1.4
April 9, 20242 yr Thank you to everyone who has helped in this thread. Upgraded from 6.9.2 today and ran into the same issue. Mounting as serial and updating the point to the new hardware address resolved the issue. Many thanks.
