Not a current issue but adding for awareness/possibly needs bug report
Recently lost access to zigbee and zwave via usb dongle connected to computer running VM virtual box. Specifically saw the following error in log:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_HubZ_Smart_Home_Controller_21600081-if01-port0'
In fact, the whole “by-id” directory disappeared.
I didn’t have any backups earlier than last month. When I reverted zwave-JS to previous version the “/dev/serial/by-id/” directory returned.
