USB driver issue when running HomeAssistant on DSM 6.0

[blackwinds 0]

Hello, I installed HomeAssistant as a docker image and run it on DSM 6.0 (Jun's loader). The problem is, it doesn't support my USB z-wave dongle.

My server is Dell poweredge T20. It has an Intel 8 / C220 USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller. But for DSM, it doesn't have the usb serial package for it. Could anybody suggest how can I get that driver? I have zero experience to build the driver by myself.

 

thanks

Here are more information from z-wave log.

 

We can see that the HomeAssistant try to talk to /dev/ttyACM0 as a serial device. It should be a USB device. There should be a /dev/ttyUSB0 but I could not see it.

All right, I eventually resolved the problem.

There is a pub source intel ftdi driver for linux available at http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm. just install the driver. the device is still /dev/ttyACM0. everything works fine.

 

Now my synology dsm is running on dell poweredge T20, I installed HomeAssistant as z-wave controller. My smart-home system rocks!
