Installing Domoticz 4.x on an Asustor NAS
Posted: Monday 23 December 2019 20:51
I recently found an updated version of Domoticz for the Asustor made/maintained by LinuxServer.io but I now find myself struggling to connect to the Z-wave USB stick, which is in my case the Aeotec Z-Stick Gen 5.
Within the previous Domoticz version, version 3.x that I used on the Asustor, nothing much was needed to make the stick work besides to enter the address, which is /dev/ttyACM0
I can still find the stick using Terminal and ssh so it is present.
But with this version 4.x Domoticz is depending on Docker and installed in a Container. That means that the USB stick needs to be connected/passed/added to the container somehow to be able to work with it.
Nowhere is this procedure documented.
I tried some commands found elsewhere but none of these seems to work.
After this I suppose I will be able to select something at the Serial Port selector within Setup > Hardware.
As Type I selected, like before, Open Zwave USB.
Can anybody offer some help how to do this, to tell the Container to work with that USB stick?
These are the details that I find using the Terminal using dmesg | grep USB and lsusb:
According to https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/z-wa ... ion#docker where Docker is also used for Home Assistant this is said here and for sure applies to Domoticz as well:
To enable access to the Z-Wave stick, add --device=/dev/ttyACM0 to the docker command that starts your container.
But there are still just empty words for and not helping me to proceed.
There is an app called Portainer on the Asustor that I could use to "edit" the container, but how...
