Z-wave stick USB on Synology NAS

Configuration Z-Wave
1

I have a DS918+ with Home Assistant installed in a docker. It’s working great. Now add a USB stick for Z-wave (Z-stick 7)

Installed drivers from SynoCli and RobertKlep
Infocenter says CP210x UART Bridge - Silicon Labs

task ROOT made with
/sbin/modprobe usbserial
/sbin/modprobe ftdi_sio
/sbin/modprobe cdc-acm
chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0
chmod 777 /dev/ttyACM0

alll done with SSH on a windows machine.

[email protected]:~$ ls /dev/ttyUSB0
/dev/ttyUSB0
So USB is recognized.

Now connecting USB to Home Assistant with --device /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0

Ths is what i wrote in SSH

[email protected]:/volume1/docker$ --device /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0
-sh: --device: command not found

I must be doing something wrong. Can anyone help me please, i have not installed portainer.

I run on Synology. How do you start that container? Where is it’s configuration?

3

to be honest, i dunno know what you mean.

/volume1/docker/homeassistant/config this is where the config and container are located.

is there a reason why you are not running a full HAOS VMware install under VMM on your DS918+? I’ve been running it on mine this way for a few years, and it is completely painless other than needing to re-attach the USB port to the VM whenever the Synology reboots.

I should throw in a disclaimer that I’m still running my 918+ on DSM6, and have not tested under DSM7…

The config would be located there. Where do you go to to start and stop the container? Are you using the Synology UI? A docker run command? Do you also have zwavejsui installed? What version of Home Asisstanf?

6

HASS 2024.3
zwavejsui not installed (i have no ADD-ON in my settings)
i start and stop the container in Synology UI container manager

7

no reason for docker instead of vmm

8

Since you can’t use add ons in Docker, you’ll need to install the zwavejsui docker container.

Running docker is more complicated than using a VM, so the alternative to consider is to switch to VM. I run in Docker but I’m also a software engineer.

Problem solved. I have reinstalled from scratch. Again in Docker, now i remember why i choose Docker, my system is EXT4 instead of BTFRS.

Thanks guys.
