As the title says, I’ve reinstalled my HomeAssistant instance, mainly due to the fact that I’ve got a new NVMe SSD with more storage.
My install is quite straightforward, I’m using Ubuntu Server 20.04 with the latest updates, but removed cloud-init and snapd, then running the Supervised install.
I’m still using the same Conbee II dongle as the previous HA install had used without issues.
However this new install, simply refuses to connect to the dongle, and I need to reboot it a number of times to pick it up. Supervisor has no information about it, but core logs show that it cannot find the path specified:

The thing is… The path /dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_DE2214996-if00 does exist on my system, and can be accessed via e.g. screen. I’m thinking this is some rights issue within HomeAssistant’s core?
