SkyConnect with HA on QNAP in Docker

HA docker not support the skyconnect in home assistant docker.

You can make HA see the stick like this:

version: '3'
services:
  homeassistant:
    container_name: homeassistant
#    image: "ghcr.io/home-assistant/raspberrypi4-homeassistant:latest"
    image: "ghcr.io/home-assistant/raspberrypi4-homeassistant:2023.6.3"
#    image: "ghcr.io/home-assistant/raspberrypi4-homeassistant:stable"
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /run/dbus:/run/dbus:ro
    devices:
      - '/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Nabu_Casa_SkyConnect_v1.0_5a5e4ffc9d91ed118b9bbfd13b20a988-if00-port0:/dev/ttyUSB0'
    restart: unless-stopped
    privileged: true
    network_mode: host

HA will see it in the hardware connection, but when you click on the configure button, a dialogue will pop up stating Skyconnect multi protocol support is only supported in HAOS.

So put it back in the drawer for now and raise a feature request to merge the addon functionality into the core HA, if enough of us do this and support this feature it might happen and we wont have wasted money on these little blue sticks. Id do it, but I cant code. I can test it though!
