Zigbee No such file or directory: '/dev/serial/by-id/usb-

totalitarian · June 13, 2021, 9:15am

Not sure what has happened but after a recent update, my zigbee device has stopped working. Running HA core in a VM. Any ideas?

Check if the current “/dev/serial/by-id…” is actually gone
Check if if there is another one because your zigbee device address changed for a random reason
Do a lsusb -v to assess whether your device is still recognized at all

where would I run lsusb -v?

koying · June 13, 2021, 9:31am

In your VM, quite obviously

totalitarian · June 13, 2021, 9:34am

~ $ lsusb -v

Did you do point 1) and 2), or are you clueless in Linux?
Just an example of what lsusb -v | head -n 25 should return:

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Device Descriptor:
  bLength                18
  bDescriptorType         1
  bcdUSB               3.00
  bDeviceClass            9 Hub
  bDeviceSubClass         0
  bDeviceProtocol         3

  idVendor           0x1d6b Linux Foundation

  bcdDevice            5.10
  iManufacturer           3
  iProduct                2
  iSerial                 1
  bNumConfigurations      1
  Configuration Descriptor:
    bLength                 9
    bDescriptorType         2
    wTotalLength       0x001f
    bNumInterfaces          1
    bConfigurationValue     1
    iConfiguration          0

If by “HA core in a VM” you actually mean Linux - Home Assistant (home-assistant.io) , that’s HassOS and I am clueless

Did you try unplug the adapter and plug it back in?

totalitarian · June 13, 2021, 1:49pm

Figued it out in the end, had to shutdown the vm, detach the USB devices. Re-attach and and restart the vm

@koying what a toxic attitude you got. Please stop trying to help people, if you can’t do it in a non-condescending way.

koying · April 28, 2022, 11:08am

Really? You decided to post after 3 month on a 1 year old thread to insult me?
But rest assured. I’m not helping that much anymore. Too many clueless people around here, recently…

It is a shame if an idiot with 10 posts (none of them helping someone else) and not one heart recieved before trys to tell a member with 3.5k posts and 852 recieved hearts how he should help others (or better: that he should stop helping others).
@koying Thank you for your posts here, I try to solve my issue with your suggestions!

bmaehr · September 17, 2022, 6:22pm

My zigbee devices have been missing at the list given by

lsusb

I solved the problem by the instructions of this post:

sudo umount /boot
sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot
sudo apt install --reinstall raspberrypi-bootloader raspberrypi-kernel
sudo reboot

I had the same issue with proxmox.
All USB had these ids :

1d6b:0001
1d6b:0002
1d6b:0003
1d6b:0004

I upgraded proxmox and holding on reboot for too long i think.
I fixed it with this :

remove USB mapping in proxmox
shutdown proxmox with all VM
restart proxmox
remap USB on home assistant VM
restart home assistant VM

I have the same problem… no /dev/serial

andrezstar2 · January 12, 2024, 10:14pm

Personally need to extract and reconnect both bluetooth and zigbee usb donglers after booting HA
