I currently have HA installed on a laptopthat has debian installed on which ni installed ha supervised,
I currently use z-wave and shelly devices in my automations and all works fine
I am aboslutly a novice in virtulisation.
I have successfuly installed proxmox 7.2 on a dell r710
Here i created vms for opnsense and home assistant os.
Now it is time to confifure home assitant.
The issue i would like help on is; with the configuration of the wifi functionality to integrate shelly devices in this environment…
I was told that i can passthrouh several usb to haosVM in the proxmox environment
How do I add a usb wifi dongle to the dell 710 and have it passthrough to home assistant and home assistant reconising and using it
In addition I saw several youtube videos on zwave usbs. Although th videos were ik o eeu based they mentionned othe zwave usb and they mention the norteck usb is it compatible with err frequencies ?
If the laptop has networking, WiFi or hard wired, ProxMox will bridge the connection to HA, so you don’t need an additional ethernet adapter. That’s the beauty of virtualization!
For the Z-Wave USB stick, start with your HA VM shutdown. Plug the stick in to your ProxMox server, configure the hardware in your HA VM, then start the HA VM. HA should see it, and you should be able to configure the integration to use it. See mine below, with a Zigbee and a Z-Wave stick passed through:
