Synology Sensor Names

[dfortier (Danny)]

I recently got a 2-bay synology nas and HA auto discovered it. I configured it and it’s seeing all sorts of data from the NAS. The problem is allot of the sensors are named like:

sensor.NASname.status
sensor.NASname.status_2
sensor.NASname.status_3

and
sensor.NASname.temperature
sensor.NASname.temperature_2
sensor.NASname.temperature_3

There are other sensors like this as well. Anyone know how to tell what’s what?

Hi, did you find an answer to this? Thanks

I’ll add the answer I found. In my case:

• Drive 1
• Drive 2
• CPU
  I found the answer on how to check this yourself here. You’ll have to compare manually with your measurments and what you see in home assistant:

I did not find an answer. The temperature ones are easy to identify. It’s some of the other ones that aren’t so easy because it doesn’t indicate what it’s reporting on. Something like a binary sensor or state sensor.
