USB passthrough to Debian 8 LXC container

[huawa]

Hi,
i have installed a Debian 8 LCX container on my proxmox server and would like to make an USB-device (Homematic HM-CFG-USB) connected to the host system accessable inside the guest system.

Here is what dmesg gives me when i plug the stick in:

[ 2678.089928] usb 1-3: new full-speed USB device number 5 using xhci_hcd
[ 2678.220700] usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=1b1f, idProduct=c00f
[ 2678.220708] usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=4, Product=14, SerialNumber=36

[ 2678.232216] usbhid: USB HID core driver

The nodes generated are /dev/hidraw0 and /dev/usb/hiddev0.

Can anybody help what to do on the guest side to make the device visible on the guest system?

This works perfectly - https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/USB_Devices_in_Virtual_Machines. I did it with my zwave stick. Make sure you shut the VM down first. Add the USB device as mentioned then boot up the VM and it will be there.
