Zigbee doesn't want to anymore

[MasterChief1335]

What happened?

I have to reinstall HA; something seems to have changed with Z2M. I've done everything I did before, but it keeps saying Zigbee2MQTT onboarding, which never happened before?

cannot open /dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_DE2138439-if00

Connected devices: [{"path":"/dev/ttyS0"},{"path":"/dev/ttyS1"},{"path":"/dev/ttyS2"},{"path":"/dev/ttyS3"}]

Looks like your adapter is not properly connected or detected by the OS?

[MasterChief1335]

OK?
I use Truenas Scale have Home Assistant Virtual Machines
and the USB Stick Devices USB Passthrough Device

The stick is listed under ttyACM0
/dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_DE2138439-if00

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 1cf1:0030 dresden elektronik ingenieurtechnik GmbH ConBee II

[Nerivec]

I'm not familiar with this setup, can't confirm how the passthrough works there.
This is what you see from the HA terminal with ls -l /dev/serial/by-id?

[MasterChief1335]

ls -l /dev/serial/by-id comes the
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jul 27 10:21 usb-dresden_elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_DE2138439-if00 -> ../../ttyACM0

[Nerivec]

Seems the Z2M add-on container cannot see the serial resources of HA beyond the basic /dev/ttySx.
Have you tried changing serial>port to /dev/ttyACM0 to see if you get any kind of better response from the add-on container?

[MasterChief1335]

Yes same error

port:
/dev/ttyACM0
and

This is not the same error. Now it's finding the adapter with ttyACM0 for some reason.

@manup Any ideas? Seems the adapter is having troubles interacting with the deconz driver (and works with tty path but not by-id path, though that could be setup-related, the coincidence is strange).

It also seems the driver is not throwing a proper Error instance when it fails (hence the TypeError below).

zigbee2mqtt/lib/controller.ts

Line 113 in ffdd353

if ((error as Error).message.includes("USB adapter discovery error (No valid USB adapter found)")) {

I think it will be this one:
https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee-herdsman/blob/4f01e88bdf8bc7e1ebbc6ff4767d2fa910ad114b/src/adapter/deconz/adapter/deconzAdapter.ts#L115
that should be:

reject(new Error("failed to start adapter connection to firmware"));

[MasterChief1335]

I found the Error

Trunas Scale Virtualization Devices 0000:00:14.0 'USB controller': Cannon Lake PCH USB 3.1 xHCI Host Controller by 'Intel Corporation'

PCI Passthrough: If USB passthrough doesn't work, you may need to pass through the entire USB controller to the VM.

Now all my Ports for HA VM are taken?! 🤦 Just because it has problems with USB Passthrough Device......🤬

What a shit

EDIT:
I have a new one for this if I want to train something now. 🤡😭🤦

Likely already fixed in the dev branch.

Changes will be available in the dev branch in a few hours from now and in the next release which is every 1st of the month.
