I have some return from discord from Filipko anf Mimixx

Ssh to the hassio on Raspberry. You need to use a ADDON or something for this  
Either `SSH & Web Terminal` or some similar plugin, or just `ssh root@{ip_address} -p 22222`

1. `docker container ls`
2. look for container id of the Deconz instance
3. `docker exec -it {id} /bin/bash`
4. Navigate to the folder `/usr/share/deCONZ/` for exemple using `cd /usr/share/deCONZ/devices/`

You will see inside others DDF
