Hi all,

I'm hoping someone smarter than me can help. I've tried to set up Zigbee2MQTT using a script from here: https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/#zigbee2mqtt-lxc. My zigbee dongle is the SONOFF Universal Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus Gateway with Antenna.

I'm getting a Zigbee herdsman error when I try to start the container.:

r/Proxmox - Issues with Zigbee2MQTT LXC Container:  z2m: Error while starting zigbee-herdsman
I can see the Dongle in my proxmox shell when I run 'ls -l /dev/serial/by-id':

r/Proxmox - Issues with Zigbee2MQTT LXC Container:  z2m: Error while starting zigbee-herdsman
It can be found at: "lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Oct 18 18:01 usb-ITead_Sonoff_Zigbee_3.0_USB_Dongle_Plus_e6df6787620cee118eb031d6f49e3369-if00-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB0"

My config file looks like this (username and password hidden):

r/Proxmox - Issues with Zigbee2MQTT LXC Container:  z2m: Error while starting zigbee-herdsman
I've tried some of the troubleshooting here. Specifically, I've verified that the user I run Zigbee2MQTT as, has write access to the port:

I've also tried updating the firmware but I wasn't able to.

Can anyone help?
