• Create a Debian VM on ESXi
• Give it
  • 2–4 vCPU
  • 4GB RAM (more if you plan many integrations).
  • 20–30 GB disk is usually sufficient for Home Assistant OS installation inside Debian.
• Update Debian:

  sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
  sudo apt install -y software-properties-common curl

• Install dependencies for Home Assistant Supervised (if you choose this path)

• Connect the Zigbee dongle to your Debian VM
• Plug the Zigbee USB dongle into your ESXi host.
• Pass it through to the Debian VM via VM > Edit Settings > USB Controller > Add USB Device
• Verify in Debian:

  lsusb
  dmesg | grep tty

  
  You should see something like /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyACM0.

• Install necessary tools (optional but useful):

  sudo apt install -y git jq

• Install Docker:

  apt install -y docker.io
  sudo systemctl enable docker
  sudo systemctl start docker
  sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

curl -Lo installer.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/supervised-installer/master/installer.sh
bash installer.sh --machine qemux86-64
