Is this doable?: hass.io runs on nas but Zwave stays on pi

Installation Home Assistant OS

This may be over my head at this time but could I do something like this:

Run a linux vm on my synology nas and then run hass.io in docker on the linux vm.

Ras3 runs zwave components (because it works great on pi and not so great in a vm from what i have read).

connect the 2 via MQTT

Would this work? Don’t know much about MQTT but pretty sure the vm>docker should work.

Thanks and Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas

Have a look at this instead.

Try using ser2net

Check this out, was looking at doing this for a while but I liked this write up.

Also check this out RPi as Z-Wave/ZigBee-over-IP server for Hass

I use ser2net also for other things

So you have it up and going? How reliable is it?

Thanks…

No I have not done the Zwave setup, I use Ser2Net with Alarmdecoder which is a serial to USB controller. It is very reliable like no worries! Next is to do this

Thanks! will check it out…
