How to install Domoticz on a Synology NAS

[jumbotroll]

The toolchain and kernel source is not released from synology, but you can test this modified version.
Not sure the driver inside the package will work, but you can uninstall the package if it's not working.
NOT TESTED!

Thanks a lot, a donation is on its way. Domoticz seems to work properly on my new DS920+. RFXCOM works, did not test ZWAVE yet.

Nice!
Thanks for donation!

Thanks for donation!

ZWave is also working so great job. I have just switched to my DS920+ as my main Domoticz-box.

Thanks for feedback, then I think all the drivers will work in geminilake package

Meanwhile my new DS220+ is installed. Domoticz is working smoothly, including ZWave (with Aeon Labs Z‐Stick Gen 5).
Many thanks, another donation is on it's way.

Hello

I have a DS415play running DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 2.
Domoticz installed in version 3.0.8153-7, and Synology Package manager propose to upgrade to version 4.9700-8, but it keep failing and complain about

Code: Select all

port 8084 being used by other service or reserved to system. Please contact package owner to modify package configuration.

However, Domoticz is answering correctly on port 8084, so no other package is blocking.

Any suggestion how to fix this ?

I need to say I installed first version following http://www.jadahl.com/ guidelines a long time ago.
Do I need to perform fresh install from latest source on the website ?

Thanks for support

If you want to upgrade from very old package, it's best to uninstall the old package before you install newer package.
Remember to take backup of domoticz.db.
Reboot the NAS before you install the new package and I think you are good to go

Hi thank you.
I followed this, restore the DB, and installed Domoticz stable 2020.1. package started without issue, seems to connect to Darksky, but now I have issues with USB RFXCOM

Code: Select all

2020-08-18 10:31:25.737 Status: RFXCOM: Using serial port: /dev/ttyUSB0
2020-08-18 10:31:26.322
2020-08-18 10:31:26.398 Error: RFXCOM: Invalid data received!...

Drivers USB 6.2 updated as well, no changes. And the "Hardware/Driver" page is not showing anything. Assume there is a incompatibilty somewhere ?

[bono156]

Hi,

I finally installed beta 2020.2, and tried to connect with Google Chrome instead of Edge Chromium.
Hardware page is now showed correctly, but I still had issues to get info from RFXCom devices ? no data is received.

I finally found out that RFXCom mode were removed (AC,ARC,X10, Oregon Scientific) , so I had to reenable them. But they keep being removed after each attempt :

@Jumbotroll
is it possible to run Domoticz 2020.2 with python other than v3.5 like other platforms? Some python plugins are now written in python v3.7

Problem solved. I had to go onsite, unplug/replug the RFXCom, and everything went well immediately. Probably this is needed to use the new drivers...

Test latest build.
I have updated to Python 3.7.7.
BTW. This packages are with full Python package and is much larger.
Not tested plugins because I don't use python plugins.
Please test..

Not all packages is updated yet.

Is it always necessary to uninstall the old package before installing the new package? I am running V4.10717 stable and want to upgrade to V2020.2 stable. I use multiple Neo Coolcam Zwave plugs. Or is it possible to just install V2020.2 over V4.10717?

You can update, but with very old version I recommend to reinstall.
Take backup of domoticz.db first.

[ABCArt]

Can anybody please help me with update from Domoticz 2020.1 Stable to 2020.2 beta: the question is - there is no any "Update" option in DSM package interface, so what needs to be done to upgrade this way? Do i need just install new version and it will replase old one automatically, or it's better to uninstall previous version and restore DB from backup? Since i'm using python plugins - shoud i copy entire "plugins" directory from old version and restore it after update?

[monfiston]

Good morning all

on my nas ds115j, I installed domoticz

https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Synology_ ... ion_folder

thanks to this page I managed to have access to the domoticz folder

1.jpg (27.88 KiB) Viewed 3092 times

2.jpg (45.21 KiB) Viewed 3092 times

3.jpg (91.75 KiB) Viewed 3092 times

but when restarting my nas, I lose the configuration

according to the tutorial on this page, I put the script in a folder

but I do not succeed, I nevertheless put the script in a scheduled task "start)


you would have a tip, because I think I misinterpreted the last part, not having much knowledge in scripts

[Sjoske]

Hi,

I just installed the Domotics packages on my Synology but it is unable to start. The logfile shows some errors. Where should I start with getting things up and running?

[eddieb]

I am trying to install a python plugin on a friends syno.
Installed jabdahl version with python support and checked the directory structure in domoticz.
restarted domoticz but the plugin (https://github.com/addiejanssen/domotic ... cp-plugin/) is still not visible in the hardware section ...

Any suggestions in how to debug this ?

(this plugin works fine on my RPI, but that does not have any python issues )

I am trying to install a python plugin on a friends syno.
Any suggestions in how to debug this ?

What's in the domoticz log when you start it?
Have you installed the (separate) python package?

hi @Waaren

no hints on any plugin while starting domoticz in /usr/local/domoticz/var/domoticz.log ...
so no error on python or such ..

python3 is installed thru DSM package

Code: Select all

/usr/local/domoticz/var# head -50 domoticz.log
