Update: Great suggestion from Cristi in the comments. Implementing a USB over Ethernet solution Making sure you have the prerequisites installed This tutorial is broken down into 3 easy to follow phases Ultimately, Home Assistant doesn’t know any difference, it appears and works the same as if you plugged it into a USB hub.
CONFIGURE USB NETWORK GATE KEY HOW TO
I am actually serving the USB device over IP from the Windows host to the Debian client using two different solutions USB Network Gate and USB Redirector (I will show you how to use both in this article).
The solution for me was to use USB over IP. That is actually a USB dongle plugged into the host Windows 10 machine, so how it is available inside Debian VM? Hyper-V doesn’t have USB passthrough? Solution – USB over IP Now, back to the Z-Wave device visible in Home Assistant. I need a Linux host OS to passthrough the USB to. Most people boot directly into Home Assistant OS (fka Hassio) on a Raspberry PI or a virtual appliance. Home Assistant Supervised on DebianĪ very important fact about this setup is that I installed Home Assistant Supervised on top of Debian. This is a clean version of Debian 10.6, installed using amd64 ISO downloaded from the Debian downloads page and HyperV Quick Create. On the right side is the Hyper-V Manager, where you’ll see a VM named “Debian10”. Notice in the yellow highlight, that is a Z-Wave USB dongle plugged into the Windows 10 machine. The left side is Home Assistant’s frontend in the web browser, open to the Open Z-Wave Add-On page. Z-Wave USB dongle available to Home Assistant container inside Hyper-V So why am I writing this blog post? I have found a way to make it work, feast your eyes on the following screenshot! Click to enlarge. If you’re running Home assistant in Hyper-V, you’ve probably encountered a significant limitation… Hyper-V doesn’t let you pass-through a USB device, so you can’t use your Z-Wave dongle or zigbee dongle.
