Install of OZWCP via Docker on Synology NAS?

Configuration Z-Wave

Is there a recommended method for accessing OpenZwave Control Panel (OZWCP) via Docker on a Synology NAS?

The integrated Z-wave features of the latest builds of HA are great, however I’m finding that I really need a little more granular control (especially as it relates to an instance issue with the Everspring ST814 nodes that are showing up in duplicate despite manually removing from the XML).

Any suggestions, guides, or pointers for getting access to OZWCP via this method? I’ve found docker instances, but haven’t been able to get them to boot correctly and access, so I’m sure there’s something I need to tweak.

I don’t use OZWCP anymore but when I did I mapped the container to use the Home Assistant options file directly. I used…

docker run -d --name="ozw-cp" -u 0 -p 8008:8008 --device=/dev/ttyACM0 -v /volume1/Docker/Home-Assistant/config/zwcfg_0xeee6b66e.xml:/home/ozwcp_user/open-zwave-control-panel/zwcfg_0xeee6b66e.xml -v /volume1/Docker/Home-Assistant/config/options.xml:/home/ozwcp_user/open-zwave-control-panel/options.xml openzwave/openzwave-control-panel

Hope it helps.

P.S. - I used this on my Synology and Home Assistant container must be stopped when running this.

Thanks. Still not totally comfortable using docker without the GUI within Synology, so will try this when I have some more time to spare.

Curious why you’re no longer using OZWCP?

I used it for all alterations to my Z-Wave network prior to Home Assistant having the capability built in. Once I had a lot of network crashes and problems when I used OZWCP so much so I moved everything over to Vera. Vera also has its own problems with latency so I now have 50% of my network on Vera and the other 50% I recently moved back to be controlled directionally from within Home Assistant.

The only difference this time around was I left everything to to Home Assistant and although its still early days it seems much more robust.

If you’re finding features missing then please raise a feature request - then we get the HA control panel fixed, rather than people continuing to apply work-arounds.

Totally understand and agree. Just still pretty new to zwave and HA, so not sure if the issue is with the device or HA.

The only reason I was looking into OZWCP was to see if I could figure out why I’m getting two instances and reports with different values from the same device. This sounds more device specific than HA’s control of Zwave, so any recommendations for that?
