I have a HA environment installation on Oracle VirtualBox. I have Husbzb-1 USB stick and configured both Zigbee (using ZHA) and Z-Wave JS. I do not have any issue adding Zigbee devices but I’m unable to add any Z-Wave device (Node). The logs do not show any activity while adding the node!
I have successfully used that stick in my test environment on a Pi. how are you passing the stick to your VM?
In the past I have used the windows drivers and bridged the resulting COM ports to the VM.
Any other USB devices next to your stick using USB 3? That might cause interference. Is the Zwave integration working at all, using controller commands like heal network or anything? Are you trying to use secure include or the regular? Any information on the device you are trying to add?
This is how I’m passing the stick to the VM. Moreover, I’m able to see in the HW part and I have already configured the Zigbee integration and it’s working fine and devices were added using ZHA integration.
I have tried it while there is nothing other than mouse and keyboard connected to the USB and it did not worked!
The Zigbee part of the stick is working fine!
I have tried 3 devices, a switch, door sensor, and motion sensor and none of them was detected. The way to trigger the pairing in those devices was the same which was pressing a key 3 time and the LED light will go red 5 consecutive times.
I tried to add in both ways (Secure and non secure)
Below is a sample for the log during the inclusion process till it ends by itself:

Some devices need to be factory reset before inclusion. That is always true for secure inclusion which must also complete within 15 seconded\s.
What is the output of the following command from the VM ?

My Z-Wave is on /dev/ttUSB0 & Zogbee is on /dev/ttyUSB1 This is on a Raspberry Pi though.
Continuing the discussion from Unable to add z wave nodes in HA:
I believe I have figured out the issue, it might be related to the fact that the devices and the USB stick are on different frequency!
I will get another devices and test them.
Thank you all
Your devices & stick MUST match your world region to be legal.
