What DumbMonit watches
This integration was built from the public references (the pages read by the Home Assistant qnap integration and the python-qnapstats library) and tested against recorded-style responses only, not against a real QNAP NAS yet. It only reads. Tell us what breaks. A QNAP NAS through the CGI pages of its web interface: volumes that fill up, disks whose SMART health is no longer good or that run too hot, processor temperature, memory, and the QTS or QuTS hero updates QNAP offers.
Typical use. NAS (beta): volumes filling up, disk SMART health and temperature, firmware updates

How it connects
What you need
- User name and passwordThe dumbmonit account created on the NAS. The password is sent base64-encoded to the login page, as the web interface does.
Network ports to open
443/TCPWeb interface (HTTPS, default)8080/TCPOnly with the HTTP protocol option
Setup steps: Create a limited account for DumbMonit
Open Control Panel → Privilege → Users → Create → Create a User and create the account as follows, with a long random password. Tick no share and no application privilege.
dumbmonitAdd the account to the administrators group: QTS serves the system status, volumes and disks to that group only.
Optional: under Control Panel → System → Security → Allow/Deny List, allow the web interface only from the DumbMonit server's address.
In DumbMonit, enter the NAS address (for example nas.lan) with that user name and password. Choose http and port 8080 only if HTTPS is off.
Heads-up. QTS has no read-only role for its system status, so the account sits in the administrators group: give it a unique password, and an account without 2-step verification. Over HTTP the password travels base64-encoded, not encrypted: prefer HTTPS.
