I've slightly lost track now, too many files. I shared the code that Frigate wouldn't allow...

primal laurel
#

Vscode should automatically correct that list for you

deft pewter
#

All good

lunar remnant
#

Christ knows. All I know is I've had more problems with YAML in a week than I had with JSON in a decade 😂

deft pewter
#

Wait until you want to program something that accepts country codes

#

#

Now I'm doing something fun. C code generation from python straight into a microcontroller

lunar remnant
#

There was a SQL keyword that always used to catch me out, I forget what it was

#

It was something like group that some idiot had used as a column name for some important keys at my first job. Every 3rd time I'd write a query I'd have the error pop up. The SQL guys were used to it but I was only using it occasionally so I'd have long enough to forget every time

deft pewter
#

Silly to use reserved keywords as a column name but can't you get around that by just putting backticks aroudn table/column names in your statements?

#
select `select` from `from`
lunar remnant
#

Yup, it wasn't insurmountable just annoying

#

It was something more obscure too, can't remember what the keyword was now

#

It wasn't something you'd automatically associate with SQL like SELECT/WHERE etc

forest edge
#

the frigate talk reminded me to update mine

#

wonder if there will be any noticeable improvements

lunar remnant
#

There were apparently some nice UI changes recently? No idea if you've updated to those yet. I've never used the old UI so I can't comment on whether it's better

forest edge
#

you should be able to access the go2rtc page using the 1984 port

#

assuming you set up the cameras in the frigate config using the docs

lunar remnant
#

Yeah I can't get that far 😦

#

go2rtc doesn't finish starting

forest edge
#

is that standalone g02rtc?

#

cause it's baked in frigate

lunar remnant
#

Nope, it's the baked in one

forest edge
#

assume you added the entry to the config correctly for go2rtc in frigate?

lunar remnant
#

I have this in my frigate.yaml file, that's my only reference to go2rtc anywhere in my config so I'm not sure if I'm missing something or misconfiguring

#

Added yes. Correctly... no idea

deft pewter
#

Looks like you have a duplicate key 😅

lunar remnant
#

That's just a separate file I've dumped it out into to remove the username and password 🙂

forest edge
#

yea i don't have listen: stuff either

#

wonder if thats new

lunar remnant
#

I may have just found a bad example somewhere, it's copypasted

#

Let me try without

forest edge
#

yea don't do that lol

deft pewter
#

Mine just looks like this:

go2rtc:
  streams:
    front_left:
      - rtsp://user:pass@192.168.0.247:554/h264Preview_01_main
    front_right:
      - rtsp://user:pass@192.168.0.99:554/h264Preview_01_main
    back_left:
      - rtsp://user:pass@192.168.0.61:554/h264Preview_01_main
    back_right:
      - rtsp://user:pass@192.168.0.56:554/h264Preview_01_main
lunar remnant
#

haha I know enough to not copy anything dangerous, just not enough to know what the config should look like

deft pewter
#

Camera names have to match what you call them under cameras:

lunar remnant
#

Lemme give HA a full restart a sec and see if removing that listen stuff helps

deft pewter
#

Seriously... containers. Then you don't have to reboot your whole home automation system 😅

lunar remnant
#

Frigate addon is a Docker addon inside HA as far as I know? And my HA is in Proxmox

#

I did try Frigate as a separate LXC but didn't get on with it too well

deft pewter
#

Ah. I literally just go Debian + Docker Compose.

#

Anyway. It's midnight and I need to take the little'un out tomorrow while the weather is good. Best of luck sorting your Frigate

lunar remnant
#

Almost everything else I run is in Docker under unRAID, but I wanted HA on it's own NUC because I don't leave my server up 24/7

#

Thanks matey. Got our own little'un on the way in August 🙂

lunar remnant
#

Can't work out what I'm doing wrong

#

It'll be one of those annoying tiny issues that's so obvious once I see it

forest edge
#

it posted nothing else beyond what you linked?

lunar remnant
#

Last time no

this time...

#

I've changed the port, realised :2020 is the ONVIF port, 554 is the RTSP stream

forest edge
#

this the ha addon?

lunar remnant
lunar remnant
forest edge
#

I know there are some diffrences between that and just a normal docker container

lunar remnant
#

Putting FFmpeg: on the front of the stream URL as suggested elsewhere means I go back to just getting stuck on "Starting go2rtc healthcheck service..."

forest edge
#

yea I dunno. I never ran the addon but recall there being differences so no clue

lunar remnant
#

I'm thinking it might just be something about this camera

#

This kind of night reminds me why I love and hate tinkering with technology

It's so frustrating... but when I get it right it's all worth it

forest edge
#

shocked a mod hasn't broke out the stop sign and revert to support flashing indicator yet

lunar remnant
#

I don't know what that means 😂

forest edge
#

none of us do really

lunar remnant
#

I'm posting in the wrong place?

forest edge
#

infact you may wanna go look at it. others may have posted the same issue

lunar remnant
#

I posted in there about a different issue a day or two ago but it seemed pretty dead

#

Nothing matching about this one though

#

If I remove the rtsp: stream above and just try to make it use the internal stream I get this... still doesn't seem right 😂 running out of ideas now

forest edge
#

well when you use go2rtc you should be linking the cameras url to that then using the go2rtc link to frigate

lunar remnant
#

Yeah that was my planned next step once I got go2rtc to work in general

forest edge
#

well if it's erroring trying to fetch a bogus url then it won't work

lunar remnant
#

That wasn't a bogus URL, it was trying to use the stream from cameras but presumably it can't work that way round

forest edge
#

thats why it's bogus lol

lunar remnant
#

Gonna try to jump ahead and load the stream into go2rtc first then use the localhost link for the camera, see if that works

#

Just in case Frigate is using the RTSP streams and so go2rtc is finding nothing when it tries the correct URL

#

Oookay so... that works for the camera, while still throwing the "github.com blah blah EOF" warning and still not exposing anything on :1984, nor can I stream the re-streamed RTSP from VLC

#

So I'm totally lost, I can't even work out what's wrong

forest edge
#

the 1984 was cause I thought you were using the normal docker container. the addon may not even give you that ability. no idea

lunar remnant
#

Not a clue. I'll look into whether I can do some port forwarding shenanegans

It looks like the Frigate addon is getting an actual IP address on my network though. My understanding is it's a Docker container on HA OS, so presumably it's using a bridge

#

go2rtc says it's getting an IP from the supervisor, and I see that IP on my router

#

The fact I can see the camera inside the HA web portal suggests it's at least somewhat working internally, though

#

Christ knows, I give up for tonight anyway. I might try an LXC again tomorrow or maybe install it via Debian + Docker or something - I've got the config and MQTT now so I can presumably just start the instance up elsewhere and see if I get a different result

#

Thanks for the help

quick question for anyone familiar with reolink cams. Does the homehub provide anything a self hosted frigate setup doesn't? do all the same features work? i'm assuming the homehub is basically just a NAS?

forest edge
late urchin
#

🤔 so the battery cams don't 24/7 record with frigate then?

forest edge
#

no

#

not sure all the battery cams can even with the hub

#

they have a list

late urchin
#

and frigate requires an rtsp to setup the cam no?

forest edge
#

on thier site

late urchin
#

or i guess that also depends onw hat the camera can output

I spotted a great price on a mini PC for anyone looking. It's a lot of overkill for a base HA host, but at $150 you can easily put Plex on there as well, and alll of the add-ons.

I got one of these without the $20 discount right at the beginning of the year and it's really simple. Boot Linux from USB stick with the HAOS image on another USB stick, then just use the image writer to blast HAOS onto the onboard NVME. Reboot and off to the races.
You cannot add storage, unless you go external, but with 512GB it's good for a lot.

solar zealot
#

That's a regular ish price for such devices

#

If you go with slightly larger form factors like offered by beelink and copy products or whichever branding you tend to also get an additional 2.5" bay for more storage

#

May be more interesting for Plex as content usually is quite large

Hey everyone, sometimes my wife leaves the stove or oven on accidentally (memory/health issues). I’m looking for a solution that would allow me to get alerts or status using home assistant. I tried looking for an oven probe with 433mhz since I already have a receiver for that but didn't find much. I thought about a PI with customer vision, but I don't think I have a good enough spot to mount that.

solar zealot
#

Depending on the oven you can simply hook up a power meter or tap into the hood/window sensor or your an air quality sensor

#

General modern ish ones have enough circuitry to tap into as they have a ton of control safeties

forest edge
#

replace the dedicated breaker for the oven to a smart one. not only can you monitor it's usage but also auto cut power

Starlink offers download speeds ranging from 25 to 220 Mbps, with most users experiencing speeds over 100 Mbps, and upload speeds typically between 5 and 20 Mbps. Latency is generally low, ranging from 25 to 60 ms on land, but can be higher in remote areas

Hi, I am new here and I am asking, is there something that can make this old heater / water boiler smart?

I want to have a motor or servo controlling the right big knob which can be set to 3 different modes. 0 off 1 only hot water 2 hot water and room heating via Thermostate.

In summer I have it set to 1 but only 30 min before I need hot water and after that I turn it back off, else my gas bill goes up like crazy. I want to automate that. I have a 3d printer on hand and know how to model stuff but idk anything about electronics. Is there a product that lets me achieve this or do I need to learn how an Arduino with a servo is controlled and connected with HA?

vapid tusk
#

if you want to make every problem a "throw money at it" problem sure

primal laurel
#

it's about density

vapid tusk
#

And?

#

My area's population density is tiny and that's exactly why i'm here

#

with that in mind, the lack of ISP infra is no surprise

#

the nearest village had a population of 300 10 years ago and it's been dropping since, and they have physical lines anyway

But that's the thing, things scale, if you can do it in small scale you can do the same thing in larger scale, especially when it comes to basic infrastructure

vapid tusk

I feel like people got the impression that the less dense areas aren't connected when all I'm saying is they didn't lay a line to every single farmhouse in between and I never expected them too

#

To be clear I am in one of those farmhouses

clear ferry
#

What they do here is ask the rural areas, and if more than 50% want it they build it

primal laurel
vapid tusk
#

They could, but you yourself said it was a problem of density and we don't have it

#

in the villages, which all actually have lines, ye

#

out in the boonies no

ofc comes with the advantage that I can link a bunch of outdoor and indoor speakers and blare them all simultaneously without disturbing the neighbors, because there are none

Is it true that ISPs are pursuing profits over coverage? Yes definitely. Is it also true that it’s a very different problem (even if the ISPs did more) in the US than in other parts of the world? Also yes.

no. You can force the companies who build fiber to expand coverage to less dense areas

We had some older Oracle ZFS systems at work which have memory risers, so they have a series of supercaps to help find which of the 8 risers / 96 DIMMs is the fault; one button inside the server lights up an LED next to the riser, then each riser has its own supercap and button to light up the slot once you have it out.

Hm. Any of you know of a list of Whisper supported cards?
Got a P400 & P4000 laying about, was wondering if they're still.. capable.

solar zealot

whisper works on a pi, any gpu will work

#

you may run into limitations with memory first

I run whisper on a 1650 super and it works pretty well although limited by vram

ruby mauve

The P400 has 2GB, P4000 has 8GB (equal to about a 1070).

solar zealot
#

will it work? probably
will it be better than on a pi? certainly
will it be great? probably not

ruby mauve
#

It just has to turn on the lights, and the fans... and close the curtains. And it just has to not be google..

solar zealot
#

the p4000 should be fine, the p400 is probably a bit too little for running the larger models

its not about what actions you want it to trigger but about the processing to turn human noises into text characters

Just, really wanting to get away from the google assistants.

#

Yeah, that's fair.

Hm. It being a Quadro I might be able to share it with both Plex, the Windows VM, and HA. Hm. Might be worth it. Will have to see how much it adds to the wattage of the system. Currently it's running at ~40W idle.

solar zealot
#

likely nothing at all

ruby mauve
#

That'd be optimal, aye. It's got some ancient AMD graphics in it currently, just for a display output, should the system crash - it runs headless. Not sure about the idle power consumption of the Nvidia cards.

#

Might try it out one of the days. Why not.

#

Suppose it beats having the cards just laying on a shelf.

its usually less than 10w with most non gaming cards

Google Calender is insanely stupid

If I create an unverified app for Home Assistant and link it, the app automatically gets FULL (create, read, update, delete) access to the calendars, including being able to delete all data

If I then try to use that app for readonly access via the SAME API... it won't let me because the app doesn't have permission

If I then try to give the app access to the readonly API to view calendars... it won't let me without verifying

So an unverified app can view, edit, and delete your calendars, but if you want to make the app only have access to view the, you have to verify the app
