SynologyDSM interval override

Third party integrations
1

Hey Guys,

I recently started using HA and yesterday I tried to get the synologydsm integration to work.
It works great, except that the update interval is fixed to 15min. I found a thread on Reddit explaining to create a custom_components/ folder and inside that folder a new folder called sensor. Within the sensor folder the synologydsm.py

This didn’t work, probably because the synologydsm structure changed. It’s now synologydsm/sensor.py

I tried both folder structures anyway, but it seems HA is not even noticing the custom_components folder. I’m not seeing any message regarding the override.
I’ve got HA running on a Pi 3. I placed the custom_components folder here: config/custom_components/synologydsm/

I also read that you must include all original files in that folder, even the files you don’t want to change. So these files are in the synologydsm folder:
__init__.py manifest.json sensor.py

However, still no luck.
Can anyone help me getting this to work?
All help greatly appreciated!

You can just add scan_interval: and the time in seconds to the SynologyDSM config and it will update as often as you like.
My example (updates every hour):

sensor:
  - platform: synologydsm
    host: !secret synology_ip
    port: 5000
    ssl: false
    username: !secret synology_user
    password: !secret synology_pass
    scan_interval: 3600
    monitored_conditions:
      - disk_status
      - volume_status
      - volume_size_total
      - volume_percentage_used

Thanks for the help.

I have tried that but it doesn’t seem to be working.
Did you create the custom components directory? If yes, what files are in it?

many thanks!

Fixed it eventually. My failure was that I downloaded the files from github through right mouse button > copy link, and then did a wget on that link via ssh in config/custom_components/synologydsm/
Instead I should have chosen the ‘RAW’ option on github. It opened up a new window, then copied the url and did a wget on that url.
After rebooting HA it showed me the Custom component message in the Log. I then changed the scan interval in the sensor.py file and rebooted again.
Now my Synology sensors refresh every 60 seconds.
