October 1, 2025Oct 1 I have a home assistant VM which I pass a broadcom bluetooth usb receiver and a zigbee usb controller throughThey're both selected in the VM and not optional - however most times the VM starts the bluetooth adapter isn't passed throughI can go into the VMs tab and attach it using the hotplug - which works for a while then next day I'll look and it's disconnected againI couldn't find anything relevant searching google/this forum. Is there anything I can look into to work out why this is happening?Thanks
October 2, 2025Oct 2 Community Expert Solution This problem happens because unraid is trying to steal the device from the VM. You need to blacklist the device from unraid as a temporary solution.The best solution to this problem is to get a PCIE usb card and passthrough the whole thing to your VM so unraid won't steal it.
