February 10, 20242 yr Hi! I am a newbie user to Unraid. Was running on Proxmox with Xpenology and a seperate VM in Proxmox for Home Assistant. After trying a bit I decided to switch to Unraid and use Nextcloud for my file management. This is running fine after being busy all day with restoring backups and such. I also created a VM with Home Assistant using this tutorial; I have 3 USB devices connected to my server. - A watermeter - A zigbee2mqtt stick - A usb-rj11 connector that goes to my smart electricity meter. I need all 3 of them to connect with Home Assistant. Biggest issue for me now is the Zigbee2mqtt stick. When I create the VM I can see the device attached; When i start the VM with this settings I can start the zigbee2mqtt addon but can't handle anything. Several devices are offline and trying to turn on a smartplug or lightbulb will result in a timeout. I also can't add new devices. When I plug in the watermeter this is also seen as a ch340 serial converter and get's the same id. I figured from this post that i can change the xml file to read multiple devices with the same ID. I tried this with the zigbee usb stick but no luck for that because still getting time outs and errors in HA. As a lot of my home is connected with HA so solving this matter is kind of urgent. Can anyone help me out here?

The state of the connections should be as below so looks like it is not connected as serial. Are you able to unplug and reconnect the device?
February 11, 20242 yr Author Owh man! After getting a good night rest I woke up this morning. Tried another USB port (again) and looked at the settings one more time. And then all of a sudden; my light when on. Bam! Thank you thank you thank you!
