Some more info. I investigated the homeassitant host, the hypervisor host ans discovered some weird errors. I google them and saw some hits but no solution. And all on esxi 6.5 and 7. I have 6.7

Preventive rebooted the ESXi host which had been running for 364 days :-).

But still errors in homeassitant.

Below errors were in esxi before reboot. Now gone in esxi.

I have this host (6.7u3) running for over 2 years now with usb passed trough all the time:

Never had issues… even with OZW Beta. Until now with ZwaveJs I see the disconnects…
I do see some topics about 6.5:
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2147650

OpenHAB, a Z-Stick, and ESXi 6.5

Lessons learned with HASS ZWAVE and ESXI

The Z-Stick Gen 2 is now working. I had to re-enable the usbabitrator daemon which I disabled to create an external USB data store. First check that the host can see the Z-Stick Gen 2 USB device, execute the following from your ESXi console. esxcli hardware usb passthrough device list You should see something similar to this: Bus Dev VendorId ProductId Enabled Can Connect to VM Name 1 2 658 200 true yes Sigma Designs, Inc. Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5 (ZW…

But none of them clearly mention 6.7, only 6.5

I do not “dare” to execute the command esxcli system module set -m=vmkusb -e=FALSE on my 6.7 machine since I might get into worse troubles then.

Any advise?
