If I had to do it again, I'd still use my old mechanical dumb doorbell and just get a camera, especially blink camera (if you don't mind cloud/amazon), and put it at a good angle over my entrance area. You can even grab a sage sensor, I have a few some unopened, and connected inside your...

After all the work I've done its definitely an app/fw issue. BECAUSE I am a good and responsible person and I search for my problem and solutions BEFORE posting about it - I know you seen a lot of this issue there were quite a few posts - I did feel like posting again because I didn't see a...

Thanks! I quickly tried it out unsure which button assignment matches to what. I tried maybe the transformer since that should receive a signal and nothing happened after I made a routine to turn a light red. I will assign each of the three buttons a different color and hopefully the light...

Nice, thanks for sharing! Yeah I am unsure how much I am going to dive into this, so my goal was to keep cost low without bringing a lot more devices in the house. My optiplex is in the MT form so I can store a few drives in there to help with minimizing system footprint. I probably will just...

Nice yeah I got mine for $106 shipped, 7th gen i5 16gb ram and 500gb ssd - I had a 512 m2 drive laying around that I use as the primary drive on it. I also have a few HDDs laying around. I havent determined if I should just get rid of windows and do completely linux based system or not. I am not...

Thank you! I am just getting started with leaning from the cloud - google notification about low storage has been annoying me. I recently purchased a dell optiplex from an office liquidator. I'll probably have home assistant on it in addition to it serving as an archive for photos/emails etc...

Unfortunately the mechanical chime is still not activating. If you don't mind me asking, what firmware and version are you using, is it possible for me to downgrade to that? I've tried the following thus far and no luck: Chime works when I remove the doorbell out of the circuit and touch the...

Probably why EZVIZ is going slow as a snail to support me with my mechanical chime not working - its been about a month since I've opened a case with them. I just got a bunch of sage sensors - anyway I can tell from that if the ezviz is sending any signal at all to the chime?

can you show a youtube video for reference demonstrating the new integration in BI?

I didn't reply to the OP, I replied to someone else who is just getting started. Interesting you mention that AI is integrated with BI but I do not see that as a feature on BI's web page, you'd think that'd be all over since its a hot buzz word. I am just getting started and can be totally wrong.

You can also check out this guys channel if you are more into using blue iris and a windows environment. This solution uses your local hardware for AI processing instead of a coral. Here is one where he does AI locally but on his own hardware, again in a windows environment:

no.

Yeah I see a few sellers on amazon for just over $100 - I am in the US btw. I just received an "old" dell optiplex off ebay for just over $100. I am unsure if I want to keep it a windows machine and then run home assistant or whatever off a VM since I am a total newb. Or just take my main drive...

Check out the homelab and home automation groups on reddit - this is a good place but definitely youll find tons of information there.

Thanks for sharing! I am just getting started in my setup. I am half tempted in grabbing one of those AI google coral usb devices to take off processing load from my system. Are you processing everything locally or are these cloud based AI solutions?
