re: Update pg 3 - 43" bar information home assistant display now in beta!

Are you offloading your detections to something like a Google coral? If not, you need to be

Poe doorbell cam. People aren't in the frame long enough to get a good shot at their face.

Yes I've seen the USB coral thingy but not interested unless I've got a scant hope this will actually work.

So far it's been the most disappointing HA integration I've tried. I'm not giving up yet but I just wanted it to announce who was at my door and it's pegging the CPU and doing nothing constructive that I can see.

My straight up reolink person detection is far better than this. I'm trying to keep an open mind but I'm about to scrap the whole thing.

What radar is that? Is it the jpettit you mentioned?

yep it's baller. Love it. Here's the latest with auto rotating weather alerts

How are you guys implementing security. From my movie understanding that is a risk with Home Asst?

i am heading to my friend's house tomorrow (he's 4 hours away) to see how his setup is going.

i had recommended Schlage zwave+ locks and that antenna HA pimps on amazon, but i'm a little worried about range and lack of other z+ devices to start out with in that massive house. in the past i don't think battery-powered z+ devices acted as repeaters so that won't help matters.

any thoughts on a solid set of door locks? we're going local regardless but not sure if we should focus on one mesh or the other in the beginning. i gave him some sonos (gateway mesh drug) already but not sure if we're going with more zigbee or zwave+ in the beginning.


ETA i forget he's also going to have 3 honeywell zwave+ thermostats and those will be hard-wired (c-wire) so that may help spread the love around so maybe the shclage locks will be ok in a zwave+ starved environment in the beginning...

Ok thanks!

What about network security as well?

facebook unlocked all their old portal devices for full android development and apparently they're really good HA devices. going to BR to pick up a portal+ gen 2 today for $50.

forgot most of this thread. How are you controlling this thing? Number pad?

it's so well automated now I don't need to.

Working on local voice control now but there's no point to a touchscreen anymore.

I do have a tiny ha dashboard webpage on my phone if I want to select a certain dashboard for testing

You should see what I'm doing for my friend who's building a house. Insane.

Plumbing his robot vac so water fill and drain are endless; plumbed in coffee machine; leak detectors everywhere, zooz shut off control where the water comes into his house, miniature orange rotating sirens when the robot comes out of his cubby, dual 220 panels with smart energy systems, entire kitchen is thermador and it's all from Bosch so one API will control everything from fridge to wine cooler.. I've had to generate a 6 tab spreadsheet just to keep up with everything. The first tab is just electrical, plumbing and Ethernet runs we still need to make.

It's going to be super sarcastic; when he walks in the Sonos by the front door will tell him "glad you finally made it home. I'm making you a damn espresso."

It's going to take a year to get this dialed in. He still doesn't even have electricity.

ETA see my sister thread on the home and garden board about the elevator he just bought

There's a reason he and I are best friends

I have a keyboard/trackpad device under the bar but only pull it out now for catastrophic failures which are pretty rare now that I'm rebooting the PC every morning before the morning dash comes up.

Eta I've removed all the button functions and footers with the links to the other dashboards because it was using up space and never being used.
