The synology_dsm sensor platform provides access to various statistics from your Synology NAS as well as cameras from the Surveillance Station.

Configuration

There are two ways to integrate your Synology DSM into Home Assistant.

Via the frontend

Menu: Configuration -> Integrations. Search for "Synology DSM", fill in the configuration form with your username and password, and then click Submit.

Via the configuration file

Add the following section to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
synology_dsm:
  - host: IP_ADDRESS_OR_HOSTNAME_OF_SYNOLOGY_NAS
    username: YOUR_USERNAME
    password: YOUR_PASSWORD

{% configuration %} host: description: The IP address or DNS hostname of the Synology NAS to monitor. required: true type: string port: description: The port number on which the Synology NAS is reachable. required: false default: 5001 if ssl is true, 5000 if ssl is false type: integer ssl: description: Determine if HTTPS should be used. required: false default: true type: boolean username: description: The account username to connect to the Synology NAS. Using a separate account is advised, see the Separate User Configuration section below for details. required: true type: string password: description: The password of the user to connect to the Synology NAS. required: true type: string volumes: description: "Array of volumes to monitor. Defaults to all volumes. Replace any spaces in the volume name with underscores. For example, replace volume 1 with volume_1." required: false type: list disks: description: "Array of disks to monitor. Defaults to all disks. Use only disk names like sda, sdb, and so on." required: false type: list {% endconfiguration %}

This sensor will wake up your Synology NAS if it's in hibernation mode.

You can change the scan interal within the configuration options (default is 15 min).

Having cameras or the Home mode toggle from Surveillance Station will fetch every 30 seconds. Disable those entities if you don't want your NAS to be fetch as frequently.

Separate User Configuration

Due to the nature of the Synology DSM API, it is required to grant the user admin rights. This is related to the fact that utilization information is stored in the core module.

When creating the user, it is possible to deny access to all locations and applications. By doing this, the user will not be able to login to the web interface or view any of the files on the Synology NAS. It is still able to read the utilization and storage information using the API.

If you utilize 2-Step Verification or Two Factor Authentication (2FA) with your Synology NAS

If you have the "Enforce 2-step verification for the following users" option checked under Control Panel > User > Advanced > 2-Step Verification, you'll need to configure the 2-step verification/one-time password (OTP) for the user you just created before the credentials for this user will work with Home Assistant.

Make sure to log out of your "normal" user's account and then login with the separate user you created specifically for Home Assistant. DSM will walk you through the process of setting up the one-time password for this user which you'll then be able to use in Home Assistant's frontend configuration screen.

If you denied access to all locations and applications it is normal to receive a message indicating you do not have access to DSM when trying to login with this separate user. As noted above, you do not need access to the DSM and Home Assistant will still be able to read statistics from your NAS.

Binary sensors

Security:

  • security_status: Displays safe to indicate if the NAS is safe.

For each disk:

  • disk_exceed_bad_sector_thr: Displays on to indicate if the disk exceeded the maximum bad sector threshold. (Does not work with DSM 5.x)
  • disk_below_remain_life_thr: Displays on to indicate if the disk dropped below the remain life threshold. (Does not work with DSM 5.x)
