Conbee II not able to integrate [Win10[Virtualbox[Linux + Ubuntu 64[Hassio]]]]

You also need to add this under Hass.io–>Dashboard–>Deconz–>Config.

You can find your device address under Hass.io–>System–>Hardware

Thanks, i already tried that, but didn’t work.
Hmm, i don’t really have any options since the computer is running other stuff in addition to HA. Surveilance etc.

Buy a Pi and install home assistant there :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Thank you. Maybe i should have written a little more details. I have this in the config:
deconz:
host: 192.168.56.1
port: 8090
Im not the best at these things. But by looking at this picture, would you say i got it right? Or should it be the ip in the upper right corner?

Thank you, ive added the text to Deconz. But how do i know its ttyACM1 and not one of the following?
“/dev/ttyUSB0”
“/dev/ttyAMA0”
“/dev/ttyACM0”

Cant really see the device address, hmm

Doesn’t look like Hass.io recognizes your USB passtrough. I think you may need to add the stick as a serial device in virtualbox not as USB. See the linked topic for an Aeotec stick.

Thanks again. Any idea what to add in the path/address field?

Don’t know, maybe the path you want to have it in the VM “/dev/conbee”?

Given you’re already using VitualBox, I think you should start by creating another VM just for HA - an Ubuntu VM, not a Win10 one. If you have an existing VM running “other stuff”, leave it alone. If you run HA under Windows, it will be the first question for any problem you encounter (as you’re already getting). If you run HA under Ubuntu, you’re the same as a lot of people out there, so they won’t be blaming the OS you’re using.

Hi Michael. I think there is a missunderstanding. My set up is the following:

The windows reference is just to inform that this is all running on a windows PC (if that makes any difference).

Thanks for pointing it out! Ill update the initial post.

Did my suggestion not work?

Ive tried several combinations, but each time i try to start the machine again i get this:

I think you’re troubleshooting the wrong problem. In your screenshots Phoscon shows your Conbee II including firmware so it recognized it perfectly fine. You’re “just” having problems with the conenction to HA.

Are you sure? For me it looks like he is accessing the ConBee stick from the Windows machine and not from inside the VM, however I’m not sure. @alexus how and from which machine did you access the Phoscon interface?

Accessing it from a windows computer isn’t an issue, as long as @alexus installed the hassio addon and deconz is running inside the VM.

What I mean’t was where he installed deconz. It’s not really clear for me, where deconz is installed. From the posts it doesn’t look like he configured the deconz hass.io addon. Also it looks like the device doesn’t show up in the Hass.io system information, so how would the addon be able to use the stick if it is not recognized?

Hi Alexus,

I’m not going to answer your question - but you have my sympathies as I went around and around with Conbee and a W10 machine running a Linux VM in terms of being able to pair my lights and switches. I am not convinced the Conbee plays well with this set-up, as I’ve not had any trouble at all with my Z-wave stick.

To address your specific problem - are you running your VM with a fixed IP address on your network? If so then your conbee should have the same IP Address as your HA instance.

John.

Hi John,

So did you give up on using conbee with your set up?

Here is a screenshot from my router:

“NIKLAS-PC” is the windows pc on which virtualbox is installed
“HASSIO” is the HA instance (in other words i can access it at https://192.168.1.14:8123/)

What your saying is that i should add the address in the config like:

And then klicking “Authenticate app” and adding the Dconz Gateway integration in HA?

Thanks for your reply

I am accessing the conbee through the Phoscon interface in a browser window in Win10 (not the VM).

Seems as you say that there is a problem with hass.io seeing the stick at all.

Did you install deconz on your windows machine or inside your VM?
