Stability issue on Synology NAS DS212j

Hello,

i have been using domoticz on my synology NAS DS212j on DSM6 for some time now, but i am struggling with stability issues.
resulting in lights not being switched of. only using it for that at the moment by using TBK plug-in socket

I was running version 5877, but do to the issues i reverted back to 4834, but the same issues occur.
Using with the Zwave USB Stick

I find that the switch command is not working anymore.
This is also the case when i login to Domoticz (the package is working) and try to switch manually.
When i restart the NAS it is working again for a day or so and than the issue return.
I extended the USB cable and place the stick 2 meters from the NAS but it did not help.

anybody any ideas, on how to solve this?

What is in the logfile?
How does your mesh network looks like?

What can be the conclusion on this mesh diagram?

If you cleared it, it's gone.
Mesh looks good, both nodes have direct connection with controller.
I did read here somewhere that the TBK aren't that reliable...

i think the issue is more package/DS related.
It refused to switch my lights on again.
The package page is not opening.
The DSM management console is opening.
I stopped and updated the packed as suggested to 5877-7 and i am able to switch light again.
In the log in domoticz itself , nothing to see anymore,.
Is there any other log that where i can see packet behaviour? It seems related to downloading of files via Downloadstation or Getnzb . but that's just a big guess

You have one of the lightest Syno's with almost no ram memory etc.
I even had a DS413j and replaced because it was nothing more than a network drive.
I would suggest a RPi or a better Syno.
You could verify that by disabling as much packages as you can and only keep domoticz running.

i had my suspicions in that direction as well.
after some consideration , i just ordered a RPi, hope that solves the issues, because the unreliablitiy keeps me from adding other hardware :-(

Well, a Pi 3 has 4 times the memory and 4 times the cpu power than a ds212j AND domoticz will be the only thing that it needs to do. Will absolutely be better.

result is much better and stable.
