Hi everyone, please bear with me if this is somehow a duplicate topic.

I installed the HA thru the ihost container dock, managed to set it up and run it.. however, trying to install the ZHA (zigbee home automation), i am encountering issue on the serial path, I am getting the error message “failed to connect…”. May I know if anyone has this issue as well? What did you do to resolve it?

Thanks in advance for your guidance..

Through docker you cannot use the ZigBee transmitter which is inside iHost since it is already used by CubeOS, ir iHost OS. You should use an additional one connected by usb.

I have ewelink USB Zigbee 3.0 router, will that work? What would be the serial path?

You don’t need a router. You need a coordinator to communicate with ZHA or zigbee2mqtt.
