How to install Domoticz on a Synology NAS

[Michel13]

Hello,

I have just installed Domoticz V3.5877 Stable DSM 6.0 on my DS214+ and have a problem with the version.
The .spk I have loaded is from http://www.jadahl.com/domoticz_stable_6 ... 5877-7.spk but when installed it is in fact :
Version: 3.5876
Build Hash: b97777b
Compile Date: 2016-11-09 12:33:42
So I have a message telling me that the package is to be updated. Clicking on "Update now" loads the update, but after installation, version is still the same and the message comes over again.
I have reboot the NAS in the hope to get Domoticz updated, but there is no change.

I have actually 2 Raspberry RPI (2 and 3) running Domoticz. My goal with Domoticz on my NAS is to make it as the master with the 2 Rasp connected as Slaves. I wonder if it is possible to do so with two systems : Rasp and Syno, and if that is stable. However, I need to have the same rev on the three units for the exchange to work.

How can I do to upgrade to 5877, or is it possible to get the correct file for the above link ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have fixed a typo...
Try this package http://www.jadahl.com/domoticz_stable_6 ... 5877-7.spk

[Michel13]

Thank you jumbotroll for your prompt action.
I have downloaded from your link, remove Domoticz from the package center and reinstall it from the fresh file.
Unfortunately, there is no change at all.
Version is still 5876 and Domoticz asks for an update.

Sorry, but it seem that the problem is in the source code.
Maybe better you update to beta version, it's more than stable

Edit:
Maybe better you update to latest beta version, it's more than stable

[Michel13]

OK, I understand.
The problem with the beta is that I have to upgrade also my RPI to be able to use my NAS as master. And I am not very keen to run beta. I even give time before loading final release. Probably due to my experience with Synology : always bugs with their first new releases (DSM 5, DSM 6). Believe me or not, I have just installed today DSM 6.0....
So, I am not in a hurry and will wait for stable new version of Domoticz and hope it will be ok also with my NAS.
Thank you for your time and also for your effort to keep Domoticz working on our Synos.

[bertbigb]

Of course I respect that you don't want run beta. I also have Synology and Domiticz. I'm running the beta package from Jadahl now 2 years without any problems. By the way I run also Synology as Master en Raspberry as slave.

[Michel13]

You are probably right bertbigb regarding the beta version.
Which Domoticz versions are you running on your RPI and the Syno ?
Because from today the RPI available for download is 6544 https://domoticz.com/downloads/ and the version packed by jumbotroll is 6518 http://www.jadahl.com/domoticz_beta_6/?arch=armadaxp

From https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Setting_up_Device_sharing

All software should be at the latest version and all master and slaves must be running the same version.

It seems impossible to run 2 different versions for master and slaves.

As you have exactly the configuration I intend to install, can you tell me if its stable ?

I'm totally new to this, and can't seem to find my Domoticz folder in my Synology nas. Anyone have any clue why or how I can find it?
I'm also wondering - I installed Domoticz using the package manager and the ready-made package and nog don't have python as an option in events. Do I have to re-install in another way to get Python? I've read it's good for scripts.

Thank you, I will try this later!

Domoticz folder on Synology is /usr/local/domoticz

Thanks. Have been looking for that one myself.

I've installed the version fairly easily (thanks Jumbotroll) despite being a 'nix newbie (my NAS mostly just sits there and backs things up), and have also seen the 'upgrade' message when I login, followed by the 'upgrade failed'. I can ignore that one. More annoyingly I can't get SolarEdge API to work - it works fine from my windows installation, but on the Synology it just never comes back with any data (I get the 2017-02-12 13:18:41.781 SolarEdgeAPI Worker started... message, but nothing more). I copied all the credentials from the PC version, and there is no hint of anything being wrong, just no
data, A Weather Underground connection works fine, so it is not a generic internet issue.

**Solved** .. you just don't get any data (and thus any devices to select) until/unless it is day time.

[GSV3Miac]

Another issue I could use help with .. I had the Aeontec HEM gen5 working just fine, for a while, but at about 20:45 last night the devices stopped receiving data, and I can't get them to revive (I have not disconnected them from the Z-wave network, but I've tried everything else). I can get them fine from a copy of the domoticz installation running on the PC, but on the Synology 'no data'.

Looking at the log, it seems I am getting copious timeouts for whatever reason. I see them occasionally on the PC too, but the PC seems to retry and eventually succeed, whereas the Synology version just seems to give up .. log attached. Suggestions welcome - is there some way to tell the Synology package to 'keep trying', or do I just have an issue with the Energy Meter itself?

Quick question regards OpenZwave on Synology. I have noticed that there is nothing recorded in the OpenZwave Control Panel 'Log Output' when running this on my Synology, but if i create and install in Mac OS or Windows I do get OpenZwave data being logged. Are others experiencing the same?

[GSV3Miac]

On synology the log is 'elsewhere' and you can review it from the package centre synology package, rather than inside the setup tab on Domoticz itself.
Click the Domotiz package (I'm using 6.x but I assume other versions are similar) and then select 'view log' (at the bottom). No, I don't know why it is that way, but it is.

I have a problem with my Aeotec Gen5 energy meter on Synology - it doesn't seem to create any devices when it starts. On the PC version it starts fine. Here are the appropriate bits of the logs .. can someone suggest a fix? I upgraded the synology install to the latest beta version, but no difference.

The OZW control panel shows the device (in both cases) with data coming in and the same parameters (as far as I can tell) so the issue is maybe with the way OZW is linking into domoticz devices.

Hello,
I'm trying to get a linear GD00Z-4 garage door controller working with Domoticz running on my Synology NAS. From what I've been reading it appears that support needs to be added for COMMAND_CLASS_BARRIER_OPERATOR in order to make it work.

I found this thread viewtopic.php?f=24&t=10973&p=82509&hilit=Barrier#p82509 that talks about patching Domoticz and OpenZwave to add support. I think this is probably beyond my skill set but does anyone have any experience with this?

Is this something that could be added into the package for the Synology?

New user here I have 3.7708 installed on my Synology 412+, I had a stop last night and found some issues when looking at the log file.

1 On start it is unable to connect to secure port 8443 but checking the ports nothing else seems to be using this.

2 It showed python errors when trying to load domoticz.py in the /usr/local/domoticz/var/scripts/python folder. This was because it seems to be a python 2.7 file but domoticz uses 3.5, I had to add () to all the print statements. Also there was a mix of tabs and spaces that caused it to fail after fixing this, also fixed.

3 Also python, the script_device_PIRsmarter.py file in same folder reports that "changed_device" is not configured, which it isn't but not knowing how the python plugins work I was unable to fix this so deleted it.

4 not connected to the stop but I added the Honeywell web api for my heating but no devices ever appeared. I believe there was an error found in this last weekend and assume it has not filtered down to the Synology branch.

EDIT: Upgraded to V3.7972-7. No python script errors, a different secure socket error asking that I check privileges on ports lower than 1024 it seems to be trying to use port 443 on address 0.0.0.0 But I now my Evohome gear has added itself so Yay.

I'm also looking for support for the garage door opener. I feel like I could work through the steps to get it going on a computer, but trying to learn how to do it all through SSH on the synology is taking more time than I have available. It would be awesome if Jumbotroll could update the beta package to include the latest beta of openzwave and the patch mentioned in that post.
