I have a "Aeotec Z-Stick Series 5" Z-WAve USB Key plugged into my unraid machine.  I've been using it with Home Assistant in a docker for over year without issue.

 

I have recently moved to use Home Assistant with the "HASSIO" variant in a VM. Everything is great with Home Assistant as I get this new setup configured.  I'm not at the stage where I want to setup my ZWAve devices, but then I noticed I can't see the USB stick in Home Assistant in the VM.

 

In the VM configuration page, I don't even see the stick listed in the available devices to passthrough, but I don't see other devices:

 

 

Is the issue something to do specifically with inability for this particular ZWave USB stick to be passed through to the VM? Is it a port issue?  SInce  I see other USB devices, it seems like it should be possible.

Can you pass it through if you install the libvirt hotplug plugin?

Turns out the stick was the “sigma designs” one already in the list. Doh.
