Hi, I hope this is the right place.
I wondered if anyone had tried to emulate/copy the widgets you get on Synology (I have system health and storage always showing when I open my Synology, but know there are 5 or so others too). Having the official Synology look on my HA dashboard would be comforting/give positive association.
However, as far as I can tell, there doesn’t seem to be an entity that shows the ‘healthy’ status that you see when you open DS (from this documentation, it looks like it comes from a few bits of data: Overview | DSM - Synology Knowledge Center ). I can see that my volume is ‘normal’ (which I believe is slightly different to the system being healthy), but nothing for overall system health in the way Synology reports it (with the reassurance that my ‘Synology NAS is working well’).
I’m running HA in VM on a Synology DS220+.
What sensors does the integration give you? I have a QNAP which exposes a lot of sensors, I would assume the Synology gives you something similar. Build a dashboard or a card with those and you should be good.

There is no such entity provided by the integration.
Hi.
I got permanently all those notifications by my Diskstation through e-mail, which started to annoy me. So I investigated how I could improve this process. There is an app by Synology for push notifications but since I try to bundle all my smart home notifications in the HA companion app, I found a way to do that. The whole setup takes less than 5 minutes. You can also use this to do other things in Homeassistant, like trigger automations based on Synology notifications etc.
First go to the…
However this is based on events and not states.
P.s.: Got the exact same setup as you do

Quite a lot can be pulled from DSm integration. Here is mine:
However there is no single sensor for overal Health status, it would need to be template sensor calculating overal state from individual components health.
Hi, thanks all. That is what I thought. I have made a dashboard based on one I saw on Reddit (here: https://www.reddit.com/r/synology/comments/1gwpq15/home_assistant_synology_integration_dashboard/?sort=new ), which has various components coming from the DSM integration, but had hoped I might rely on Synology doing the calculation for me.
PS Mirek, would you be up for sharing your YAML for your integration? It looks really clean and I’m learning to get the hang of dashboards having started again with HA a week or so ago (I gave up with it all about a year ago and sold my HA Green and SkyConnect, but decided to take a second bite of the cherry and bought myself an SLZB06 which is connected directly into my Synology).

Please note that it also include some statistics about storage consumption, that are a bit tricky to obtain (I use python script run periodically on NAS, that creates JSON file based on which sensors used by apex chart are created). Also some code for dashboard is duplicated - I use media query to display various versions depending on screen size (desktop vs. mobile).
