Hello All, I've got a Sonoff Zigbee USB stick that I'm trying to pass through VirtualBox to my Home Assistant VM. The dongle shows up on my MX Linux host in /dev as ttyusb0 and I confirmed that it disappears and reappears when I unplug and re-insert it. I have the proper extension pack installed to match my VBox version. However, I see <no devices available> when I try to add a filter for the USB stick. I tried enabling USB 2.0 and 3.0 but can't find it using either one.
I found a site with usb IDs (it won't let me post a link yet. just Google "linux usb ids" and it's the first result) and tried setting up a manual filter with 0451 and 16a8 but have no idea if that was right or not. It didn't seem to help when I reloaded the VM.
What can I do to get the device to pass through to the VM?

Please see these for Linux not finding USB devices despite everything set up correctly

Also, carefully go through USB basics and troubleshooting. If you finish all the steps 1-7 and cannot get your USB device into the guest OS, carefully post the outputs of the commands in step 8 as text, not screenshots. Zip and post the logs step 8 call for, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.
