balloob Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I am running Home Assistant (home automation software) in a docker container. Home Assistant supports Z-Wave networks via Z-Wave USB sticks. Z-Wave USB sticks expose themselves to the system via a USB to serial bridge. I'm running into the problem that the unRaid Linux kernel does not include the USB to serial bridge driver (CP210x). I can think of two solutions, but both are not ideal: [*]Compile the module for the kernel myself (instructions) [*]Run Home Assistant in a virtual machine Is there an option that I am missing?

I think the vm solution is your best bet. Maybe a light weight Linux vm. Quote Link to comment
