Install and run py-synology in hassio (appdaemon)

Hello!
I have a appdaemon app that turns on my PIR-sensors and pushes a notification when a sensor i triggered…works great!

Now I want to turn on/off “home mode” on my Synology Surveillance Station through a similar app in appdaemon…

On my local computer have I installed py-synology (with PIP), and I can successfully call the synology API to turn on/off “home mode”.

Questions:

  • How do I install python modules in Hassio?
  • Can I make an API call from within a appdaemon app? Or should I make a python-script and point to that from the app?
  • Is there a more clever way to solve this issue?

Thanks
