Installing the Collector Using the Package Center

To install the Domotz Agent on your Synology:

1. Open the Package Center on your Synology NAS.
2. Search for the Domotz
3. Once you find the Domotz application, click Install
4. Once the installation is completed, click Open

 You will be redirected to an activation page.

If you already have a Domotz account, you can log in straight away. Otherwise, you can create a Domotz account using the Sign up link at the bottom of the login fields:

Once logged in, proceed as follows:

1. Name your Collector, and click on Next:

The collector will complete the activation, and you will be redirected to the Collector Discovery section, while the Initial Discovery is done. Once completed you are good to start managing the site through Domotz:

To learn how to configure your Domotz Collector’s initial settings, please refer to our Getting Started Guide.

Installing the Collector Using the Container Manager (Docker)

Some Synology NAS models may not yet have the Domotz Collector application available, as new packages require approval from Synology and this process can take some time. In these cases, you can install the Domotz Collector using Docker instead. To do this, install the Container Manager package on your Synology NAS, then use it to download and run the Domotz Collector Docker container.

1. Open the Package Center, search for and install the Container Manager.
2. Once installed, open it and follow to the Registry section inside the Container Manager. Search for “domotz/domotz-collector”:
3. Download the latest image (it will take a few minutes until the Download completes).
4. Follow to the Container section and click on Create
5. Select the Image domotz/domotz-collector:latest, check the box for Enable auto-restart and click on Next.
6. OPTIONAL: If you want to keep your configuration persistent, before proceeding, SSH into your Synology NAS and run the following command): “mkdir -p /volume1/docker/domotz/config && touch /volume1/docker/domotz/config/domotz.json“. Click on Add File and select the file we just created (domotz.json): Paste “/opt/domotz/etc/domotz.json” in this field:
7. Click on Container Capabilities and enable NET_ADMIN
   
8. Change the Network from bridge to host
9. If your summary looks like this, click Done, and wait for the container to initialize
10. Access your Synology NAS on port 3000 (http://[NAS_IP_ADDRESS]:3000) and proceed with the collector activation
