Anyone have Z-wave setup on Synology without Docker?

[smazman]

I plugged in a Aeotec Z-stick Gen5. SSH in as root and run the command below (the stick appears to show up OK, but may need to fix permissions?):
#ls -al /dev/ttyACM0
crw------- 1 root root 166, 0 Dec 7 20:20 /dev/ttyACM0

Can’t change group according to zwave instructions (is this necessary?):
#sudo chgrp dialout /dev/ttyACM0
chgrp: unknown group dialout

Then, I added the following to my configuration.yaml and restarted:

zwave:
  usb_path: /dev/ttyACM0

And I get the following errors, any ideas??? How can I install python_openzwave manually? I am running on a Synology DS-414 without Docker support. apt-get not available (so I can’t do sudo apt-get install libudev-dev)… I did install entware-ng but still not sure if it allows me to install libudev-dev)

In an attempt to install libudev-dev, I followed steps 1-4 at this link:

Error starting Home Assistant on Synology for first time

Thanks molano and dedi. An update to the process now that stretch is stable release. Got this going with the following steps: Install Debian Chroot from SynoCommunity SSH into Synology DiskStation. Use this command to go into chroot: /var/packages/debian-chroot/scripts/start-stop-status chroot cd /usr/bin/ I prefer nano which was thankfully available but vi should do the job (vim was not available). nano /etc/apt/sources.list Change all “jessie” sources to “stretch”. Thats it, no …

Then did this:
root@DS414:/usr/bin# apt-get update

And then this, but I got scared so I stopped:
root@DS414:/usr/bin# apt-get install libudev-dev

Are you following the steps linked to install open_zwave? Even if you are successful, the python open_zwave library is a wrapper around the openzwave C++ library and requires libudev in the homeassistant environment to run.

That means even if you build python_openzwave in chroot and copy over to your host environment which runs home assistant, you’ll likely just fail setup of the zwave component because you won’t be able to import it.

libudev does not exist in the base synology install and I don’t believe there is an easy way to get it there but it love to be shown otherwise.
