Building “anything” on a specific vendor solution is NOT “SMART”!
As always, great video Frank. Straight forward, to the point without the fluff! Enjoyed watching and thanks for sharing. I may just have to dabble with Home Assistant. Have a great day!
When are the new gen home user Synology devices arriving?
I loved every second of this video! this is the kind of video you want to keep in your favorites list! great job!
"assuming you have Virtual Machine Manager installed and configured". Check, can install. Uncheck, how to configure?
Thank you! This was on my todo forever!!
Don't get it, why not use the apps of the cctv etc, surely that's easier?
I've read DSM7 doesn't allow USB devices like the Zigbee controllers. Will this approach work to allow those?
I setup HA on my QNAP but the installation process wasn't much different than what you did here. Having the HA virtual machine file available for download was great. I was only looking for a way to have more than just a couple of security cameras without having to pay the licence fee to Synology ( which I also have ) or QNAP. HA worked really well. The bonus is that HA has a smart phone app. And, HA has Tailscale available as an add on as well. With HA and Tailscale on my phone, I can view a live feed from my cameras from anywhere in the world and at zero cost. Brilliant. Thanks as always Frank.
Why not the lighter docker image? Synology NAS is not a powerful machine (hardware) so using VM is a bit wasting of CPU / RAM 😉
Going the NAS route rather than ProxMox?
Then you get some mad botnet attack on your NAS, you lose all your files and have some butt head switching stuff on and off in your home. 😂
