Virtual box OVA install, unable to discover ZWAVE USB stick in HA

Just started on HA and forum having moved over from Vera after my controller died. I have had some exposure to Linux but not done much. I don’t have a lot of ZWAVE but I got the ZooZ ZST10 700 USB stick. Before that arrived I installed HA (using the OVA install of Linux running as a Virtualbox VM on Windows 10. HA discovered many of existing IP devices on network and added integrations. I added some additional ones without issue. Everything is updated to latest. If needed I can post any specific logs or reference.

Since I had read about the issues with the firmware on these sticks I updated it to latest 7.17.2 using the Silicon Labs Simplicity Studio. That was successful. I had also previously added Windows driver from Windows Update selecting Silicon Labs entry as advised in another post. So Windows see the card fine. I initially could not get the USB recognized under HA hardware. I move to different ports, and filtered as shown below. After moving stick to another USB port on computer I got 2 entries of one item and cheked them both. Now I see the Zooz card under /dev/ttyUSB0 . ID:
/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_Zooz_ZST10_700_Z-Wave_Stick_0001-if00-port0

Looks like maybe I cannot add images yet :frowning:

I installed the ZWaveJS2MQTT and no controller is found. when I try to include or exclude the add-on reports: Error while calling api getProvisioningEntries: Zwave client not connected.

I have been messing with this for a few days. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the controller adder so I can add my Zwave devices??
