Jeedom Migration to Home Assistant, Synology Routers and NAS

State of play on Jeedom

I will not dwell on Jeedom integration.


The control of Synology equipment is achieved thanks to the plugin Synology-API which is one of my plugins.

All documentation is available on this blog.

Integration in Home Assistant

Synology is detected.

If you look at the documentation, you have to distinguish between Routers and NAS

NAS are obviously well recognised and simple to integrate, for routers, it is obviously another story, at the time I write these lines, I have not yet managed to integrate them.

In the list above, I only have one SIN, it is SIN 192.168.1.2, I will start with it

Integrating a Synology NAS into Home Assistant

Before any integration, you must first take care of the User who will have access to the SIN.

It is more than advisable to have enabled two-step identification (2FA) on NAS, especially for administrators and it will be necessary to use a User with the role of administrator is mandatory.

I have created a User: "ha" with a profile that is as restricted as possible (but administrator anyway), note that I give him access to the cameras to be able to retrieve them from Surveillance Station.

I don't put anything in port, he'll detect it on his own.

As soon as I validate, it automatically pulls up the list of all devices, I assign them a part and I validate.

I also note the creation of another integration:

It’s over, all my cameras have appeared and the information on my SIN is available:

Integrating a Synology Router into Home Assistant

At the time of writing, I am not yet integrating the detected Syno servers.

  • 192.168.1.1 is the "Master" router, an RT2600ac
  • 192.168.0.10 is the same router but side of the link with the Freebox
  • 192.168.1.253 is an MR2200AC that covers the wifi garden and pool
  • 192.168.1.254 is an MR2200AC covering the floor wifi

If I manage to integrate them, I come back here to explain.

The explanation is on this page: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/synology_srm/
