Installing Home Assistant (HA) on QNAP NAS
============

Home Assistant https://home-assistant.io/

As QNAP within QTS now supports Docker (with a neat UI), you can simply install Home Assistant using docker without the need for command-line. For details about the package (including compatability-information, if your NAS is supported), see https://www.qnap.com/solution/container_station/en/index.php

The steps would be:

- Install “Container Station” package on your Qnap NAS
- Launch Container Station and move to “Create”-section
- Search image “homeassistant/home-assistant” with
docker hub and click on “Install”
- Choose "latest" version and click next
- Choose a container-name you want (e.g.
“homeassistant”)
- Click on “Advanced Settings”
- Within “Shared Folders” click on "Volume from host" > "Add" and
choose either an existing folder or add a new folder. The “mount
point” has to be “/config”, so that Home Assistant will use it for
the configs and logs.
- Within “Network” and select Network Mode to “Host”
- To ensure that Home Assistant displays the correct
timezone go to the “Environment” tab and click the plus sign then add
`variable` = `TZ` & `value` = `Europe/London` choosing [your correct timezone](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones)
- Click on “Create”
- Wait for some time until your NAS has created the container
- Your Home Assistant within Docker should now run and will serve the web interface from port 8123 on your Docker host (this will be your Qnap NAS IP address - for example `http://192.168.1.10:8123`)

Remark: to update your Home Assistant on your Docker within Qnap NAS, you just remove container and image and do steps again(Don't remove "config" folder)

If you want to use a USB Bluetooth adapter or Z-Wave USB Stick with Home Assistant on Qnap Docker, Fallow this step:

**Z-wave:**

- Connect to your NAS over SSH
- Load cdc-acm kernel module(when nas restart need to run this command)
`insmod /usr/local/modules/cdc-acm.ko`
- Find USB devices attached. Type command:
`ls /dev/tty*`
The above command should show you any USB devices plugged into your NAS. If you have more than one, you may get multiple items returned. Like : `ttyUSB0`

- Run Docker command:
`docker run --name home-assistant --net=host --privileged -itd -v /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Public/homeassistant/config:/config -e variable=TZ -e value=Europe/London --device /dev/ttyACM0 homeassistant/home-assistant`

`-v` is your config path
`-e` is set timezone

- Edit configuration.yaml

zwave:
  usb_path: /dev/ttyACM0

That will tell Home Assistant where to look for our Z-wave radio.

**Bluetooth:**

- Connect to your NAS over SSH
- Run Docker command:
`docker run --name home-assistant --net=host --privileged -itd -v /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Public/homeassistant/config:/config -e variable=TZ -e value=Europe/London --device /dev/ttyUSB0 -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb -v /var/run/dbus:/var/run/dbus homeassistant/home-assistant`

First `-v` is your config path
`-e` is set timezone

- Edit configuration.yaml
