I have home assistant set up in a vm. I am unable to get my conbee ii USB stick to pass through. I am able to select it when I edit the vm but when I launch it home assistant says "fail to probe usb device".

 

I have also tried to add the zigbee2mqtt docker container and get a similar error when launching it.

 

I have tried :

ls -l /dev/serial/by-id

and the output is

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Feb 13 12:27 usb-dresden_elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_DE2485163-if00 -> ../../ttyACM0

I am wondering if the usb device keeps disconnecting and reconnecting

 

running:

dmesg

I get a bunch of usb disconnect and reconnect as seen below

@kf1 did you ever find out what was going on? I'm running into this same problem.
