I’m trying to configure ConBee II with ZHA on Home Assistant OS 5.13 (Core version 2021.5.4) running in KVM on Ubuntu 21.04 on an Intel NUC10i7FNH but can’t get it to work. After supplying the correct serial device and choosing the correct Zigbee radio type, the error message I get from the ZHA integration is: “Failed to connect”.
From the logs:

I have connected it to the NUC with a USB 2.0 extension cord to avoid interference, as suggested in many forum posts here and elsewhere. It looks like it’s connected to the host’s (ie, the NUC’s) USB 2.0 controller (having read elsewhere that it won’t work on a USB 3.0 port):

I have USB passthrough configured like so:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'>
<source>
<vendor id='0x1cf1'/>
<product id='0x0030'/>
</source>
<address type='usb' bus='0' port='1'/>
</hostdev>
On both the host and guest machines, when the ConBee II stick is attached, it shows up as /dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_DEnnnnnnn-if00.
I have tried everything I can think of but am at a loss for how to proceed. Any ideas how to make this work? Or should I give up and get a Zigbee USB stick from another vendor? If so, is there one known to work in this setup?
(I initially thought I had stumbled on a bug in ZHA and filed an issue, but no longer believe that’s the case.)
