I am pretty much clueless, I had a look at my neighbours setup and when he presses add he has more options then me.
I am trying to attach my smartmeter to my ioBroker container. But I am missing the add usb option in the dropdown.

I can see it in the console..

root@ioBroker:/# lsusb

containers have no gui support for usb passthrough (only vms)
also for containers the whole things works a bit different, normally you load the driver for the device on the host
and bindmount the relevant devices nodes from /dev into the container (or create them inside with mknod)
