Hi all,
Having zero luck setting up my ConBee dongle on my NAS (for Home Assistant) so I just thought to ask is this a supported scenario?
DS423+
DSM7
Virtual Machine running the latest HA image
USB support for DSM7 enabled by a boot up script.
ConeBee II plugged into the front of the NAS.
If that is supported then I’m really not sure how to verify the dongle is setup in DSM correctly an/or if the VM I created has recognised it.
Bit stuck if I’m honest.
Thanks
Dave
I don’t use Synology, but usually there should be a configuration option on the virtual machine to present the device to the vm. If this is not supported a workaround would be to use one of the ethernet based coordinators.
The DSM7 USB bypass works surprisingly well and even recognized multiple devices when I tested adding two dongles.
I agree! I still recommend ethernet coordinators simply for their ability to relocate away from interference.
Thanks, no I hadn’t 
Now I have that set I can see the device showing up in the deCONZ config. e.g.
Tried starting the device but get this
Might try restarting the VM.
Some further progress but still not working 
Takes a few mins of the spinning circle progress indicator…
And now the ConBee II has vanished from Discovered section and does not appear in the Configured section of the Integrations page.
It appears in Devices but I don’t appear to be able to discover Zigbee clients from it.
I don’t use ConBee or ZHA, but do you need to enable the 5 disabled entities?
Do you want to use Deconz or ZHA.
With one dongle, you can use ONE of the three: Deconz, ZHA or Zigbee2mqtt. You have to choose.
Where do I choose? There’s no option as far as I can see to do that.
If you want to use ZHA, delete the deconz add-on
if you want to use Deconz, remove the ZHA integration
The only Add-on’s I have are:
Should I delete deCONZ add-on (not having much luck with it) and just try ZHA?
Very tempted to look into one of those, I’ve been struggling to get this deCONZ/ConBee working for a day now 
I had this ConBee working on a Pi about a year ago and it was basically plug-n-play but now trying to get it working with a NAS → VM → HA is proving beyond my meagre skills.
Any recommends for Ethernet coordinator ?
I prefer the SMLight devices that have the TI chips(SLZB-06) vs Silicon Labs.
Although if HA is seeing your ConBee device, it’s most likely a config error in the your setup.
The advice @francisp gave you is where I’d start. You can’t have the Deconz integration or Z2M installed if you are using ZHA.
I will add that in my opinion, the USB dongles are more prone to interference, especially when plugged directly into a NAS. USB 3.0 does not play well with ZigBee.
The dongle’s location and the number of router/repeater devices are crucial to establishing a stable mesh. I started with a Sonoff-P, tried out the Sonoff-E , but eventually went to ethernet.
Ok added ZHA, went thru the 10 min setup and got this error:
Failed setup, will retry: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘/dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_DE2294200-if00’
So I deleted the the setup and tried to add manually.
But where do I find the path? I no longer appear to have a device called deCONZ, ConBee or even Zigbee
If I haven’t got this ConBee working in the next hour I shall frown severely, chuck it out the window and buy an ethernet coordinator 
Shutdown the VM and check your Synology settings again to ensure the device is still recognized by the server.
With any changes to USB devices, you need to do a HA reboot, not just a HA restart.
I’d suggest setting the USB controller to 2.0, if you didn’t already.
I am currently running a BT dongle and a Z-Wave dongle in HA from my RS1221+ with no issues.
I started with the Z2M the add-on, but moved Z2M and my Mosquitto Broker to containers on my server.
