How to install Domoticz on a Synology NAS

[jumbotroll]

For your information, I also have the UsbSerial Driver Package installed. I replaced the ftdi_sio.ko file with your newly compiled file.
Executed chmod 777 /lib/modules/ftdi_sio.ko and restarted the NAS.

New test:
Have done some more fix in the ftdi_sio.c and ftdi_sio.h
I don't know this will fix the problem, but you are free to test

If you replace the ftdi_sio.ko in folder /lib/modules you don't need the usbserialdrivers package!
BTW I also updated usbserialdrivers.spk

You're great. The rfxcom XL is detected.

But just to understand. Did you edit the driver file which means the original driver would just not work on a ds212+?

No you have to have the specific driver compiled for the linux kernel that your NAS is running, in this case arch-88f6282 and the original driver from synology do not support your device, so I modified the source code and added your device and recompiled the driver for you.
So only my FTDI driver will support RFXCOM XL for this NAS

[teo1966]

there is update from synology to this Version: 6.2.1-23824-6 update to this version ?

What do you really mean?
Which NAS do you have?
Which version have you used before?
What are you looking for?

BTW latest domoticz beta for DSM 6.2 running on DSM 6.2.1-23824 Update 6 if you wonder.

Hi there, I have a 916+ and I am unable to install UsbSerialDrivers_braswell-6.2_6-2.spk or usbutils_braswell-6.2_007-4.spk driver from http://www.jadahl.com/drivers/DSM_6.2/

using `sudo synopkg install`

I only have a 290 error which is not very verbose, am I missing something?

Thank you!!!

Hi,

I have DS218 and I can tell you that on my side everything is working excellent (Manual Installation in Package Center)!

I have a ds 216j with 2 USB 3.0 ports. I'm thinking of transferring domoticz to synology. Now on a raspy 2.0 I have connected: 1 zstick, 1 rfx.com and 1 sdm 220 modbus. If I purchased 1 USB 2.0 hub connecting it to a synology port, would I be able to make it all work?

That I can't answer, because I don't have tested on DS216j.
I also use USB 2.0 hub on my DS712+ and use 1 Zstick, 1 RFLink, Bluetooth device and RFXcom RFXcom E.
All working very well here

In my case (218 Play) this works fine with a Belkin F4U020VF USB hub. I've bought it on Amazon.de for €18....

The installation of the package is very easy and the 4.97 version is very stable. One question: I use an eastron sdm 220 as smart meter on the raspberry that needs the libmodbus library, but I'm afraid it's not available for synology and makes this useful smart meter useless.

I build a test package for you with libmodbus.

I don't know if it's working, but you can test

[Creaky]

What is the suggested way to update from the stable dsm to the beta (and vice versa)?

- backup config file
- backup database in domoricz just in case
- uninstall current package
- install new package
- restore config
- database should still be there configured?

Always take backup of database (domoticz.db)
Then you can download domoticz beta and update..
No need to reinstall.
Remember, you can't downgrade. If you want to use an older version (beta or stable), you have to uninstall/reininstall.

Then you can download domoticz beta and update..

@Jumbotroll, does this mean I leave the current Domoticz (old) installation on my NAS, download the latest domoticz package from your site and install that manually in Synology Package Center? Does that update the current Domoticz installation that is already on my NAS?

[MickFly3000]

After updating my DS212+ Domoticz couldnt reach my RFXCOM XL. After reinstalling the UsbSerialDriverPackage and replacing ftdi_sio.ko it all worked again. Had to reboot the NAS but Im happy again. Is this the way it works after every DSM update?

I don't know, but if synology mess with the drivers, you maybe have to, because I have made a special driver for 88f6281 NAS and synology driver do not support RFXCOM XL in older NAS

Hi All,

Since a couple of days I get a notification that there is an update of Domoticz, but clicking the button to install it, doesn't work.
I've searched through this thread to find update instructions, but coudn't find any. How do I update a Jadahl Domoticz install on Synology?

Hello Creaky,
To upgrade my Domoticz on Synology, I use this procedure (again recently with the latest stable). It seems to work fine.
PS: don't forget to save before the old Domoticz install (tar -zcvf domoticz_backup.tar.gz /volume1/@appstore/domoticz/ >&/dev/null)
