@tprelog You are doing great work with the plugins for TrueNAS, Many thanks for that and great support you are providing! How about creating one for zigbee2mqtt?

How about creating one for zigbee2mqtt?

Ah, great, thanks! So far I've installed manually, facing a bit of problem with latest node.js which I could not make work in 12.2 RELEASE jail so I've installed node14 instead.
I have a different question though: is there a way to reference to a USB device in a more static way? Sometimes after system restart or after disconnecting and reconnecting USB device again the number in the /dev/cuaU[number] changes so I have to change the config of zigbee and zwave modules.

Sorry, I just saw this...

on SCALE, yes - But I'm not aware of anything for FreeBSD or TrueNAS CORE

I have found a way to make it sort of static. It is a script that it creating a symbolic link to a static name upon a jail start. Below example for my zwave and zigbee sticks. I had to split that into separate scripts for each of the jails as sometimes it was conflicting with each other, below in a single script for both sticks and jails:

#!/bin/bash

function get_tty () {
    local vendor="${1}"
    local product="${2}"
    # return the tty{} value, eg; U2
    sysctl dev.umodem | grep "vendor=${vendor} product=${product}" | sed -r 's/.*ttyname=([^\s]+) .*/\1/'
}

function create_symlink () {
    local source="${1}"
    # failsafe
    if [ "${source}" == 'tty' ]; then return; fi
    local target="/mnt/[pool_name]/iocage/jails/${3}/root/dev/${2}"
    if [ -e "${target}" ]; then rm -f "${target}"; fi
    ln -s "${source}" "${target}"
}

# zigbee is a Conbee 2
create_symlink "cua$(get_tty '0x1cf1' '0x0030')" "cuaUzigbee" "[zigbee_jail]"
# zwave is a Z-Stick Gen 5
create_symlink "cua$(get_tty '0x0658' '0x0200')" "cuaUzwave" "[zwave_jail]"
