Have HA running in a Docker container, wanted to set up the Sonoff Zigbee USB as a hub for smart devices in the house, can’t figure out why this is so hard.

Ok so DSM 7 doesn’t support USB, thats ok, managed to download the drivers and see the ttyUSB0 for the USB stick. But then when setting up the Mosquitto and Zigbee2MQTT containers the Z2M one crashes with the errors in the photo attached.

Is there something I’m missing or an easier way to do this for Synology NAS and HA running in a container? I guess I can VIM the HA OS but I just want to figure out the issue or find an easier way to set up a Zigbee network in the house that works

Thanks

    They changed quite a few things between DSM 6 & 7 and unfortunately one of them broke easy use of those USB sticks. I didn’t want to mess with the internal config of the Synology NAS too much so used the VM approach with the HA image and mapped the USB stick to it.

      Yeah it seems like HA OS is the way to go, running the separate Docker containers has been a headache and breaks/take time more than it’s worth
