Home Assistant Is Astonishingly Easy To Set Up On Synology
Just a quick shout-out to Home Assistant, who have relatively easy-to-follow documentation for setting the app up on a Synology NAS. Just download the container, add your time zone, make sure it's set to use the "host network", and make sure port 8123 is open on your firewall. I'd been putting off setting this up given the usual amount of lift involved in getting something new runing on my homelab, but it only took me about 10 minutes. Finally no more fiddling with the Hue app, and K can purchase (some) smart devices without me getting all mad about proprietary software and security.
