Hey guys, I'm desperately trying to get my Conbee II stick to work with the home assistant plugin.

Following a few tutorials, I've got the home assistant plugin to a point where it recognizes the USB dongle, but it won't connect to any devices.
The plugin is ofc running in a jail.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Set the jail to devfs_ruleset=2 and see if that changes anything.

If you're not too worried about security and it works, great! If you have concerns about security, then you may want to do some research about creating a custom ruleset that only passes the conbee in.

Thanks! Yeah, I've figured it out.

I've set the following parameters:
devfs_ruleset = 2
allow_mount = enabled
allow_mount_devfs = enabled
enforce_statfs = lower than two

Previously my original jail wouldn't start, if I had set the devfs_ruleset to anything lower than 3.
Some weird error message came up.
I just installed a new home assistant instance, and set the mentioned rules. Works like a charm now.

I didn't find a way how to set enforce_statfs from the GUI.
Had to use following command in the shell: "iocage set enforce_statfs=1 jailname"

Hey guys,
I am currently trying to achieve the same thing as @McPeon.
But I guess I am lacking some basics here.
Is it possible to simply run Home Assistant (HASS) in a jail and use the Conbee USB Stick.
Or do I have to install a linux vm first to run the phoscon software and HASS is simply connecting to its API?
