When setting up my home automation solution using HomeAssistant, I had to identify the device name of the ConBee stick that I use to control my ZigBee devices.

After some googling, I found a simple solution on Ubuntu Forums.

  • Insert the device to the desired USB port (or pull it out if it's already connected.
  • In the terminal, type dmesg
  • Look at the bottom of the printout and identify the device name.
