I need help setting up the ZwaveJS server. As far as I understand the two integrations Z-Wave and OpenZWave are deprecated. So it is recommended to use Z-Wave JS. But the stick is no longer directly integrated in HomeAssistant, but via an additional container. So far correct?
The following instructions state that there are 3 different options for installing the Z-Wave JS Server: RUNNING THE Z-WAVE JS SERVER
For the first two, I didn’t understand how to install that, or if that would even work for my setup. I find the naming of HA very hard to get used to, I also have no idea if I am using Home Assistant OS, Home Assistant Core or Home Assistant Container. But since I’m using the “homeassistant/home-assistant” image for Docker, I’m going to assume that the third option fits for me.
I found the following instructions for installing the zwavejs2mqtt container: Quick start
For the installation I connected with SSH and used the following command:
Port 3123, because 3000 is already in use by another container
I’m not sure with the path in source, but “/volume1/docker/zwavejs2mqtt” leads to another error
When I run the command, I get thefollowing messages:

Since I’m not a Docker expert and have always used Synology’s UI so far, I’m at a loss at this point. Unfortunately, I haven’t found any more detailed documentation on this either. Has anyone ever made this work successfully (possibly even on Synology NAS) and can help me at this point?
Your mount should point to /volume1/docker/zwavejs2mqtt or whatever folder exists (instead of just the name “zwavejs2mqtt”)
Make sure no other container is using the stick. What errors do you get?
docker: Error response from daemon: create /volume1/docker/zwavejs2mqtt: "/volume1/docker/zwavejs2mqtt" includes invalid characters for a local volume name, only "[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]" are allowed. If you intended to pass a host directory, use absolute path.
But the path is available, I can explore it in SSH terminal…
HomeAssistant is using the stick, too. Because I tried the deprecated Z-Wave integration, which is working well. But I stopped the container before trying to install zwavejs2mqtt, so that couldn’t be a problem…
When I’m using the Synology Docker-UI to install the container, it starts and runs without errors. But then I can’t use the device parameter. But I think the “privilege mode” should work as well. But then I do not know how to go on. When starting the ZwaveJS integration on HomeAssistant after that, it wants an URL from me, but I don’t know what to enter. I tried the following:
I tried it, but now I get the same error than in the original topic post:

How can I connect to this port? Via HomeAssistant integration?
But I think, this will not work, because the container is not installed correctly. After the Error “ERROR GATEWAY: Zwave settings are not valid” in the SSH terminal, the process is on hold, but in the UI of the Synology NAS the container is not appearing in the docker app.
The process is on hold because it’s run interactively. Might be best to configure it from scratch using the Docker UI on the NAS (be sure to remove any container you no longer use to prevent issues):
Search and download the latest version of the image
Deploy the container from the image
Run it under privileged mode so it can access the attached devices
Configure the ports 3000 in the container to 3123 on the host and port 8091 on both the container and the host
Map folder docker/zwavejs2mqtt to /usr/src/app/store
After the container has started browse to http://192.168.178.2:8091 to see if it’s operational and configurable before proceeding with further set up.
This approach has worked! Thank you very much! I did not know that I still need to configure the tool via the 8091 port. I thought I must do that via the HA plugin. But I had to enable HA integration in zwavejs2mqtt first, otherwise the access won’t work.
I’m having the same issue. I want to use HomeAssistant on my Synology (instead of Domoticz). It looks like most of the things work out-of-the-box, but some ZWave devices are not recognised anymore. Since the default ZWave integration is deprecated, I’d like to use ZWaveJS2MQTT.
This is what I’m executing:

Read a few posts back, your container is running successful it seems but you still have to configure the settings through the web interface on port 8091
I had the same issue & the root cause was very simple for me it was not required to use the basic default image:
If you run the 1st time the container , at ./store/* only default (not valid!) settings are created. If you are able to connect at port 8091 via http just enter the configuration setup and adapt the USB settings and check all other settings. Finally don’t forget to click the SAVE button at the end.
I’m also having the same issues and error codes as stated above in the thread. I’ve executed the container every way described above, but still I can’t access the server on any of the port.
Are you using Synology’s own Docker interface (package) or are you using the command line? Could you provide screenshots of the network tab if you’re using the interface or share your commands used?
I tried both methods. The installation instructions on Home Assistant website use the command line, But I also tried using the Docker UI on Synology since I saw this thread and was having the same issues. I’m currently at work, but I can send more info once I get back home.
Thanks!
docker: Error response from daemon: create /volume1/docker/zwavejs2mqtt: "/volume1/docker/zwavejs2mqtt" includes invalid characters for a local volume name, only "[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]" are allowed. If you intended to pass a host directory, use absolute path.
And I’m having the same issues with the UI as the reply post below
Although I’m probably inputing incorrect information into the wrong fields. For example, I not sure waht I Should be putting in the “Mount Path” field in the image below.
The mount path should be the folder inside the docker, in this case you have to enter “/usr/src/app/store” without the quotes. In your command line you are trying to pass a docker volume instead of a folder, an example (not the full command for your use case)
When setting up the integration within HA you input the IP of your Synology (or if it’s another container within Docker you can link the 2 containers together and use the link name)
Hi @RickKramer, where actually is “/usr/src/app/store”? I need to edit the config here manually as I’ve locked myself out by enabling SSL. Any ideas where I do that on a Synology NAS with a preactically identical docker run command used to setup the container?
