external devices - zigbee

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.

[rjousse18]

not fixed with the latest stable release, juste to mention

[nebulon]

oh indeed, the change didn't make it. Will include it with next release then

[rjousse18]

Just updated to 1.1.0. Still not working, had to chmod

[nebulon]

Just did another test install and at least my ttyUSB0 device would show up correctly with:

> ls -l /dev/tty*
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root      5, 0 Feb 16 12:18 /dev/tty
crw-rw-rw- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Feb 16 12:18 /dev/ttyUSB0

So in your case you still had to add read-write access to the group for your device?

[rjousse18]

Yep, as you can see, /dev/ttyACM0 has no right for group :

[nebulon]

actually the group permissions are rw only others have no access. So this looks correct to me.

[rjousse18]

but it didn't works I had to chmod again, is there any solution to launch a script at startup ? I don't want to chmod every time the app is updated

[nebulon]

So to be on the same page, if you give read/write permissions to all users HomeAssistant can use the device fine, but not if only root and dialout group have it? Reason I ask is, since HomeAssistant as such runs with the dialout group. Which kind of integration is this? Maybe it spawns other processes which run as different user?

Since I can't reproduce this locally, maybe you can send a mail to support@cloudron.io if you want us to take a direct look at your case to get this fixed.
