Successfully Integrating Conbee 3 on QNAP: A Step-by-Step Guide

General

After struggling with getting my Conbee 3 to connect properly on my QNAP NAS, I finally found a solution that worked! Here’s what I did:

  1. Installed the deCONZ Docker Image: I started by installing the deCONZ Docker image through QNAP’s Container Station. It was a bit tricky, but the community support was amazing.

  2. Loaded the FTDI_SIO Module: The key was loading the ftdi_sio.ko module. I used the following script to automate this at startup:
    bash
    #!/bin/sh
    /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/others/ftdi_sio.ko
    if lsmod | grep ftdi_sio > /dev/null; then
    echo date “[ OK ] autorun.sh: ftdi_sio.ko module loaded” >> /var/log/autorun_script.log
    else
    echo date “[FAIL] autorun.sh: failed to load ftdi_sio.ko module” >> /var/log/autorun_script.log
    fi

  3. Testing the Connection: After a few reboots, the Conbee 3 showed up in /dev as ttyUSB0. It was such a relief to see it finally recognized!

If anyone else is having trouble with their Conbee 3 on QNAP, I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance! :rocket:
