Hi all, I saw a few things online about ways to connect the ZigBee controller (Currently SonOff USB dongle) to a Hyper-V VM. I am wondering who has actually done this, how you did it, and what your experiences were with doing it?

From the installation docs:

Hyper-V does not have USB support.

#

You might get away with workarounds like enhanced session mode, RDP or third party programs.

Cool, that is what I had read. But I found a couple of things about using USBIP or being able to assign a full USB port to a Hyper-V VM but I was just curious if anyone in here had actually done it. I may also just swap over to VMware and use that instead.
