Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how’s it going?
Yeah Frigate is pretty cool. Really I got the cameras to play with Frigate, I didn’t get cameras first haha. I also got a Coral TPU as a dedicated processor for object detection.
It has been fun playing with the driveway one this past few days. Using number plate recognition in Frigate I can have Home Assistant send me notifications (with a photo) of when our cars arrive in the driveway. Over time I’ll add common visitors too, then maybe I can have my Home Assistant Voice PE (smart speaker) announce for the kids when Grandma has arrived or things like that.
I currently have the camera send me any detections. and I had no idea how often a neighbours cat chills in our driveway.
