Hi, I bought a HomeAssistant Skyconnect dongle so I can use zigbee and matter devices in the future. I plugged it in a USB port of my NAS (HP ...), but now, I can't find the option to pass USB through TrueNAS, towards the VirtualMachine where my HomeAssistant instance is installed. Therefore, HA cannot see it.
When I click on "devices" in the VM manager, I see "disk, PCI passtrhu, ..." but no USB.
Any idea please ? thanks!

I've found doc for Truenas SCALE but not for CORE (my install)

TrueNAS CORE : 13.0-U6.1
HomeAssistant : 2024.3.3, OS 12.1
Machine : HP ProDesk 600 G1 TWR

TrueNAS CORE can only passthrough complete PCIe devices. If you have the slot available, buy a cheap USB card.
