How to passthoug a USB device to a docker?

[DanielPT]

Hi all

 

Im running Home assistant in docker.

I have an USB dongel Sonoff Zigbee controller 3.0.

 

How can i passthough the dongel to my docker?

 

Im a little confused about all the topic and the correct way doing this.

Do i need this?

 

I can see this in the log

I have been searching for an answer and finally was able to do so! This reply also serves as my future reference.

1. Plug in your USB device (not sure if restart is required)
2. Open the Unraid console

3. ls /dev/serial/by-id

    

4. Copy the device name, for me it is `usb-Nabu_Casa_SkyConnect_v1.0_ba7a2aba7a2aba7a2aba7a2a-if00-port0`
5. In your docker config, add another Device
6. Make sure to have the Config Type and Value correct as below

7. Config Type: Device
   Name: Any Device Name You Want
   Value: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Nabu_Casa_SkyConnect_v1.0_ba7a2aba7a2aba7a2aba7a2a-if00-port0:/dev/ttyUSB0

8. Done!

Please note that the value before colon is the path to your USB device, and the value after colon is the path within the container. It wasn't sccessful when I was trying to do

/dev/skyconnect

, until I do

/dev/ttyUSB0

.

 

The USB device then shows in my Home Assistant container.

I set up a blooth proxy with an esp32... Cost me ten euro and it works immediately.. I also put another one at the other end of the house, now bluetooth range is also great..
