Dennusb Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Hi, Very interested in unRAID, next to the storage part I want to run a VM on there that runs home-assistant. So I need to use my Zwave USB stick in that VM. Is it possible to forward a USB device to a VM? Link to comment

Some people forward a complete USB host controller for maximum functionality, but in most situatuations it will work well to just forward individual devices. Link to comment
TType85 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I run home assistant in a docker with my USB stick passed to it No need for a VM. My stick is a z-wave/zigbee one so I pass 2 devices to it. In the docker configuration I set up two devices ttyUSB0 = /dev/ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 = /dev/ttyUSB1. In HA I have the usb_paths setup to the passed through devices. So far it runs awesome. Link to comment
