Unraid VM - Conbee II stick dev. path change configuration problem?

casperse · April 13, 2022, 4:31pm

Hi All

I had to change the way Unraid VM works with USB sticks:
([6.10.0-rc1/6.10.0-rc2d] USB Passthrough to VM not working correctly [Manual XML solution available] - Prereleases - Unraid)

But after getting the VM with hassio up and running I cant find out how to fix the path in HA?

The configure buttons does not show any options?

This all worked before, but this serial passthrough is creating problems:

    <serial type='dev'>
      <source path='/dev/serial/by-id/usb-0000_0000-if00'/>
      <target type='usb-serial' port='1'>
        <model name='usb-serial'/>
      </target>
      <alias name='serial1'/>
      <address type='usb' bus='0' port='4'/>
    </serial>

Where in HA can I define the path:
/dev/serial/by-id/usb-0000_0000-if00

(The serial is not 0000_0000 I changed it as an example)

How to update this Device?

I know the path in Hassio is: /dev/ttyUSB0

And if I remove the Zigbee HA and reinstall it would work! - But I would loose all my devices!
And setting them up again would be a Pain, so how to change the path in HA?

SOLUTION:

Go to .storage and find the file “core.config_entries”

And edit the path example:

WRONG:

            {
                "entry_id": "2bb51ca17b7fa61b8d997ce1d3f2c8a2",

                    }
                },
				
				
New one:

                    "radio_type": "deconz"
                },

Thank you so much for this!

I had to do this as well.
This got the error of the main page but the devices are showing up as “Unavailable” now luckily its fixed after repairing and keeps the automation that I have

Coollll068 · April 25, 2022, 9:13pm

Well short Lived got a new stick mapped as you have within 48 Hrs it dropped with no other change.

parido · May 26, 2022, 8:25pm

Hi, I have the same problem but I do not understand where can I find the correct path
"path": "/dev/serial/by-id/usb-QEMU_QEMU_USB_SERIAL_1-0000:00:07.7-3-if00-port0"

Can you please elaborate some more details?

Thanks in advance

parido · May 28, 2022, 2:49pm

Never mind… I found it
So for other people who migh tnot understand

first place the xml (bellow </memballoon> to your vm (without selecting the usb from the gui). Use the bus and port as is
and then make the above change

<serial type='dev'>
      <source path='/dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_XXXXXXXX-if00'/>
      <target type='usb-serial' port='1'>
        <model name='usb-serial'/>
      </target>
      <alias name='serial1'/>
      <address type='usb' bus='0' port='4'/>
    </serial>

Lastest version of Usb Manager from CA now supports serial passthrough, it solved the problem for me without editing the xml or core registry

Garion · August 13, 2022, 7:50pm

I try but ask for a port. Always 04, I can’t change it. Maybe you have other USB manager version?

Paul_Vries · August 20, 2022, 10:38am

I have connected it via the plugin as a serial device. However in home assistant it doesn’t find the conbee. It does find usb-QEMU_QEMU_USB_SERIAL_1.

You mention you didn’t have to change anything, but it seems to me I need to replace something somewhere to use the new ID.

Can you explain how you fixed this?

casperse · September 17, 2022, 1:57pm

Yes the USB manager now support this!
The latest Unraid update broke my existing work around to this problem in this thread!
So the new USB manager should show a link up like this:

Unfortunately the Zigbee CONBEE II dosen’t get recognized in HA after reboot

So we need to change this back…

      {
        "entry_id": "2bb51ca17b7fa61b8d997ce1d3f2c8a2",
        "version": 3,
        "domain": "zha",
        "title": "ConBee II, s/n: DEXXXX - dresden elektronik ingenieurtechnik GmbH",
        "data": {
          "device": {
            "path": "/dev/serial/by-id/usb-QEMU_QEMU_USB_SERIAL_XXXXXXXX"
          },
          "radio_type": "deconz"
        },

Back to:

"path": "/dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_DE00000000-if00"

But so far I still get the

I really would like for people to stop making so many changes, and its hard to keep fixing things

So the new path/old one does not give a path not found instead I get this:

My homeassistant has found the conbee stick but I think i still need to change some things in a file. as you mentioned the path needs to be changed. I have no clue where I have to change this path. Could you point me in the right direction?

casperse · June 6, 2023, 7:30am

So after updating Unraid to v. 6.12.0 RC6 I ran into USB connection problems again!
(I use the USB manager and connect as serial USB) I found that the new path is now something like this in the folder .storage you will find the file “core.config_entries” and here it will add the:

{
    "entry_id": "1c7ac4a53b85198687c853f65f3a7fa6",
    "version": 3,
    "domain": "zha",
    "title": "/dev/ttyUSB0",
    "data": {
      "device": {
        "path": "/dev/serial/by-id/usb-QEMU_QEMU_USB_SERIAL_1-0000:00:07.0-4-if00-port0"
      },
      "radio_type": "deconz"
    },
    "options": {},
    "pref_disable_new_entities": false,
    "pref_disable_polling": false,
    "source": "user",
    "unique_id": null,
    "disabled_by": null
  }

SOLUTION: I took the courage to just remove the ZHA integration and add it again select use existing to restore all your Zigbee integration and then Go to System hardware to find the USB path and give it the path in my case it was : /dev/ttyUSB0 and hit enter this worked and I now have it running again
