I like RPI but its a bit of a toy to me - Windows is where real men go to do proper things. As such I wanted to have HA on Windows and I am quite happy to use the HA Virtual box build. I also have a Conbee II USB. I could not get it to be stable and connect 100% of the time when running VB as a service when configured as a USB device. Being old school and still liking serial ports - the Conbee is essentially a serial device, I swapped over to mapping the serial port and its super fine.
