external devices - zigbee

[rjousse18]

If it's, for now, specific to Home Assistant app, why not just use workarounds like https://community.home-assistant.io/t/home-assistant-in-docker-pass-usb-device-from-host/184674/2 or https://community.home-assistant.io/t/home-assistant-in-docker-pass-usb-device-from-host/184674/6 ?

Alright, we have added initial basic support for attaching devices from the host to the container. For the moment this will just be a list of devices with a 1to1 mapping. So for example /dev/ttyUSB0 from the host can then be mapped to /dev/ttyUSB0 within the container.

@rjousse18 8.2 is in unstable. if you update to the unstable, you can test it out - https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#devices

Hi ! Zigbee not working even after usb device added in "device" section.

Most likely it is a permissions issue, can you open a webterminal into the app and check the group ownership of the node?

ls -l /dev/<yourdevice>

chmod 777 resolved the problem but not sure it's a good idea lol

Probably don't need the 'x' bit on devices. So 666 maybe.

ah good next package release will add the cloudron user to the dialout group, that should fix it also in the long run then.
