This I great.
I moved from Hassio on a pi3 to Hassio on Hyper-V. I don’t want any USB devices in my Hyper-V machine.
So now I’m running USBIP (RPi as Z-Wave/ZigBee-over-IP server for Hass)
And it does work. But every time I have to reboot my Hyper-V machine I have to reconnect to the remote pi. Sometimes I have to reboot the pi. So it is a bit inconvenient.
So now I switched to a second instance of hassio on a pi. And running Zigbee2MQTT on that for Zigbee. And I’m looking for something similar for Z-Wave.
I tried Eventstream. I see all devices of my “slave” instance in my “master” instance. But I’m not able to control them. I don’t know if this is the nature of Eventstream?
I like your idea to make a similar solution as Zigbee2MQTT by making a custom component. Is this already a working solution? Can you please explain how this works?
