ConbeeIII Setup in Proxmox LXC Container

bastian-mer · May 19, 2024, 9:18am

I’ve been using a conbee II stick for years inside of an unprivileged Proxmox LXC-Container by passing the usb port to the container without problems. All the general and conbee II specific guides fail when it comes to pass the conbee III to an lxc container. You can find several discussions over the internet of people failing to use the conbee III with Proxmox LXC (of corse inside a Proxmox VM it is working), there seems to be not one report of success. The problem is always the same - people manage to get /dev/ttyUSB0 created inside the LXC Container, but neither GCFflasher nor deconz can use this device. With conbee II no problem.
I tried to dive into that problem for weeks and gave up. I think this is something that can only be solved by Dresden Elektronik (maybe Firmware- oder deconz-related changes needed).

The Information of the following guides was tried to adopt:

# Setup deCONZ on unprivileged Proxmox container

## Preparation on host

First find your Conbee with `lsusb` and note the ID. The vendor is **1cf1** and the product is **0030**.
```
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1cf1:0030 Dresden Elektronik ZigBee gateway [ConBee II]
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 8087:0aaa Intel Corp. Bluetooth 9460/9560 Jefferson Peak (JfP)
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

@de_employees can you check and reply here?

Hi there,

You can’t simply use the Conbee 2 Guide for Proxmox LXC containers, as it employs different USB drivers for the Conbee 3.
You’ll need to replace all occurrences of /dev/ttyACM[ X ] with /dev/ttyUSB[ X ] in the guide.

However, this method has always been a bit unstable, as it relies on static USB enumeration.

Fortunately, there’s a better way to do this now. Proxmox offers a new GUI feature to pass-through devices to containers (starting proxmox 8.2).
Use this with the path /dev/ttyUSB[ X ].

For increased reliability:

Use the by-id path to always pass through the correct USB device. For example:

/dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ConBee_III_DE123456-if00-port0

This avoids issues where a different USB device receives the handle /dev/ttyUSB0, potentially leading to problems later
on.

Regards,

Eric

Can you document this on the github wiki :)?

Haerteleric · May 21, 2024, 10:16am

It’s quite a new feature, and I’m still looking for a definitive way to do it properly.

Container device passthrough is quite complex to break down. You need knowledge about Linux user groups, UIDs, GIDs, udev rules, drivers, file permissions, and so on.

But a tutorial is planned, once i find a way to breakdown this topic to a stable step-by-step.

Thanks for your replys to this topic.
So @Haerteleric you are successfully running an instance of Conbee III inside a Proxmox LXC? That would be very interesting because in multiple forums you can find people asking for help top set it up with Conbee III but no one with success. I’m aware that the instructions need to be adapted for Conbee III and I’m quite familiar with this. But if you are using a Conbee III with Proxmos LXC I have done something wrong. I will play around with the new feature in the Proxmox WebUI for device pass through and come back later with a more detailed error report if I fail again.

After investigating that topic quite further I’m convinced, there must also be some bugs in deConz. I passed the ConBee III into a Proxmox-LXC-Container using the new feature in Proxmox webUI. I used

/dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ConBee_III_DE03189328-if00-port0

and the Stick gets recognized inside the LXC-Container by GCFFlasher:

root@deconz:/opt/zigbee2mqtt# GCFFlasher_internal -l     
Path              | Serial      | Type
------------------+-------------+---------------
/dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ConBee_III_DE03189328-if00-port0| _DE03189328| ConBee_II

I don’t know why it is identified as ConBee_II.
I’m able to update the firmware form inside the LXC-Container:

root@deconz:~# GCFFlasher_internal -t 60 -d /dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ConBee_III_DE03189328-if00-port0 -f deCONZ_ConBeeIII_0x26510900.bin.GCF 
read file success: deCONZ_ConBeeIII_0x26510900.bin.GCF (181950 bytes)

done, wait (up to 20 seconds) for verification
app checksum 0x7ABA8D12 (OK)
finished

Then I start a test instance of deconz in debug mode:

root@deconz:~# /usr/bin/deCONZ -platform minimal --dev=/dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ConBee_III_DE03189328-if00-port0  --http-port=8083 --dbg-aps=2 --dbg-info=2 --dbg-error=2

And then it produces

When I log into the deconz webinterface, it shows the symbol for a RaspBee-Gateway and disconnected as status.
At the moment when trying this there is no other instance of deconz running inside my home network an no other zigbee-network.
I can use Zigbee2Mqtt inside the same lxc-container without a problem an pair some lights. (of course I’m not using Zigbee2Mqtt and deconz at the same time). So there must be something related to deconz!

@Haerteleric @Mimiix I’m willing to provide any information that is needed or do some betatesting in the future. I’m highly interested in sticking to deconz and not moving my 80 devices to zigbee2mqtt.

Intresting finds!

@Haerteleric or @manup can help best here

You are missing the fixed baud rate option as device identification does not work inside a container Environment (udevadm related problem).

To start deCONZ inside a container with a CB3 connected, do:

$ /usr/bin/deCONZ -platform minimal --dev=[YOUR_PASSED_THROUGH_DEVICE_HANDLE] --http-port=[PORT] --baudrate=115200

For CB1/CB2 RB1/RB2, do:

$ /usr/bin/deCONZ -platform minimal --dev=[YOUR_PASSED_THROUGH_DEVICE_HANDLE] --http-port=[PORT]  --baudrate=38400

in your case:

[YOUR_PASSED_THROUGH_DEVICE_HANDLE]
= /dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ConBee_III_DE03189328-if00-port0

[PORT]
= 8083

To adjust the autostart Service:

do:

sudo systemctl edit deconz

and change it to:

### Editing /etc/systemd/system/deconz.service.d/override.conf
### Anything between here and the comment below will become the contents of the drop-in file

[Service]
User=
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/deCONZ -platform minimal --http-port=[PORT]  --dev=[YOUR_PASSED_THROUGH_DEVICE_HANDLE] --baudrate=[115200 / 38400]

### /usr/lib/systemd/system/deconz.service

# Description=deCONZ: ZigBee gateway -- REST API
# Wants=deconz-init.service
# StartLimitIntervalSec=0

# AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE CAP_KILL CAP_SYS_BOOT CAP_SYS_TIME
# 
# [Install]
# WantedBy=multi-user.target

To make it autostart as a service you can then:

sudo systemctl enable --now deconz

@Haerteleric
Thank you very much, adding the boudrate-flag did the trick. Maybe it would help some people, if you would add that hint in the official documentation on deCONZ command line parameters · dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin Wiki · GitHub

Have a nice weekend!
