How to? QNAP container and Sonoff Zigbee Gateway

Configuration Zigbee

Hi everyone.

I’m new in the world of Home Assistant but I managed to get HA running in the QNAP container. Then I ordered Sonoff ZigBee Gateway ZigBee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus-E and realized that I cannot find any valid setup instructions :frowning:

So I decided to ask in this forum that does there exist any document / thread that would describe how to get that Sonoff working. I have tried all kind of things but not the correct ones.

I can see this with lsusb command so I know that device is recognized. But how to get it to HA?

It is always nice to read all documentation :slight_smile:

I managed to get everything working by creating yml file and adding device into created file like mentioned in here: Alternative - Home Assistant (home-assistant.io)

Hi, I’ve tried to do it. But ssh command not say nothing.
How can I solve?

Hello, where must I insert the command docker run … --device /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0 … I really don’t know.

Some time elapsed since this post was opened, but I’d the same problem and finally I succeded to tie the zigbee dongle with homeassistant running in a QNap container so I put here how I did:

  1. added this repository in QNAP: https://www.myqnap.org/repo.xml (AppCenter->Settings->App repository)
  2. search and install the USB Serial drivers (maybe this is not needed for others) and restart
  3. access QNAP via SSH
  4. at this point a new device was on /dev, named ttyUSB0 (/dev/ttyUSB0)
  5. create a container via command line with this syntax:
    docker run -d --name=“home-assistant_z” -v /share/MD0_DATA/domotica/home-assistant:/config --memory=“4g” --device=/dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0 --net=host homeassistant/home-assistant (changing parameters as needed)
  6. the new container is available in Container Station from where you can start/stop it.
  7. install ZHA integration from homeassistant (or whatever you need)

Hope this can be useful
