I want to use Sonoff 3.0 USB Dongle Plus E to connect devices to my Home Assistant container install on Synology NAS (DSM 7.2).
Zigbee2MQTT container stops with error logs focused on failure to use /dev/ttyUSB
Situation:
Home Assistant, Mosquitto, Zigbee2MQTT containers
MQTT integration
USB driver installed using Synology DSM 7.2 - Adding USB Devices / Dongles (SkyConnect / Z-Wave)
I think this worked (once I got a shielded USB extension lead). Dongle is discovered in HA with option to add ZHA integration. I deleted this and clicked ‘ignore’ when it re-appeared.
$ lsusb: gives |__usb1 1d6b:0002:0404 09 2.00 480MBit/s 0mA 1IF (Linux 4.4.302+ xhci-hcd xHCI Host Controller 0000:00:15.0) hub

So I guess something can see what is plugged into the USB port.
I feel like I’ve completed the internet searching for a solution! Although similar, I haven’t found answer in: Can’t start Zigbee2MQTT - Sonoff ZigBee dongle plus 3.0 with Synology NAS - Configuration - Home Assistant Community
A few threads talked about permissions (I am inexperienced in SSH and failed to get anywhere with this). I don’t know if this of use:
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0
crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 188, 0 Nov 16 23:46 /dev/ttyUSB0
ls -l /dev/serial/by-id/
ls: cannot access ‘/dev/serial/by-id/’: No such file or directory
$ ls -l /dev/tty* shows ttyUSB0 but no mention of ttyACM0 (which has been tried in config.yaml as well as
/dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0
/dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyACM0
/dev/serial/by-id/usb-ITead_Sonoff_Zigbee_3.0_USB_Dongle_Plus_b82580eaa5dbed11a9b9ef2d62c613ac:/dev/ttyUSB0
This is the container log once it stops:

I’m going in circles, not really understanding the problem. I thought I’d be ready to play with zigbee once I installed the driver with a USB extension… any guidance would be appreciated.
