have updated to
Domoticz Version: 2020.2
but still no plugins in HW list.

Anyone?

You mean that you cannot select them from the Type pulldown list in the new hardware dialog?
So you first have to install the plugin in the plugins folder.
Then restart Domoticz en then the plugin hardware can be selected for new hardware dialog Type field.
After you have added the type hardware you can use it, it is listed in the hardware list and devices will be added.

Well, I have installed the plugin and restarted Domoticz but still no plugins in the dropdown list!
What else could be wrong?

[waltervl]

The plugin folder has now owner root. That should be owner Domoticz (or something like that). Reference after a google action in dutch: https://www.synology-forum.nl/3rd-party ... -domoticz/

Addition: if you are new to Domoticz it is also wise to start with the Docker image on Synology as the Synology images are not maintained anymore.

Thx all, my synology does not support docker so that is not an option.
I did solve the issue and it was a stupid mistake from me.
The plugins folder is not located at the same location as normal domoticz/plugins but in domoticz/var/plugins and as soon as I installed the plugin in the later it worked (not the pyhton plugin manager but the shelly plugin)
