Home Assistant + Synology NAS richtig kombinieren 💪 (Frigate, Paperless & mehr)

80 GB of footage per week, scattered across what feels like 100 cloud storage locations and external hard drives – my data chaos had to find a solution! In this video, I'll show you how I use a Synology NAS not only to organize my data but also to run Home Assistant as a virtual machine. But be warned: Buying a NAS just for Home Assistant doesn't make sense in most cases! I'll honestly explain who a Synology NAS is right for and who it isn't. You'll also learn how to install Home Assistant on Synology, pass through USB devices, automate backups, and offload storage-intensive add-ons like Frigate and Paperless. Plus: The DSM 7.3 update has finally removed the controversial vendor lock on hard drives! 🛒 PRODUCTS & LINKS [NOTE: This video contains affiliate links*.] If you make a purchase through these links, I receive a small commission, and you support my channel without the price changing for you… Thank you so much for your support! ❤️] Synology NAS Advisor: https://sy.to/5rpm9 Synology NAS Systems: → Synology DS925+ (4-Bay, my model): https://amzn.to/49rmaFV * → Synology DS425+ (4-Bay, Budget Alternative): https://amzn.to/3JWynIg * → Synology DS725+ (2-Bay, AMD Ryzen): https://amzn.to/4o1YpaY * → Synology DS225+ (2-Bay, Budget Alternative): https://amzn.to/3X4QzT4 * Hard Drives & SSDs: → Synology HAT3310 16TB (HDD): https://amzn.to/3KbOLoj * → Synology M.2 NVMe SSD (Cache): https://amzn.to/3X47TYo * → Seagate IronWolf (third-party alternative): https://amzn.to/4oIA8I9 * → WD Red SN700 M.2 NVMe SSD (third-party alternative, not officially compatible): https://amzn.to/4r7yvoR * Synology Storage Calculator: → https://www.synology.com/de-de/suppor... 📚 IMPORTANT RESOURCES → Synology FAQ on third-party hard drives (DSM 7.3): https://blog.synology.com/ger/wir-hoe... → Synology Integration for Home Assistant: https://www.home-assistant.io/integra... → My Synology Dashboard for Home Assistant: https://gist.github.com/TheRealSimon4... → Frigate NVR:    • Warum Frigate vielleicht nicht so gut ist,...   → Paperless-NGX Addon:    • NIE WIEDER Papierkram suchen! 😱 Paperless-...   🏠 ALTERNATIVES → TrueNAS: https://www.truenas.com/ → Unraid: https://unraid.net/ → OpenMediaVault: https://www.openmediavault.org/ → Proxmox (Virtualization):    • Warum Home Assistant auf ProxMox die BESTE...   ⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES • The Synology NAS was provided to me for this video. • Using unsupported M.2 NVMe SSDs as a cache: At your own risk! → https://github.com/007revad/Synology_... 📌 ABOUT THIS CHANNEL This channel is all about Home Assistant and smart home technology!
