"Smarthub IIโs hybrid architecture initially allowed local MQTT and HTTP REST access for advanced users to build custom integrations. However, firmware version 3.2.1 introduced encrypted communications and closed the local API by default, forcing encrypted WebSocket tunneling through Futurehomeโs AWS infrastructure. Key implications include:"
Death Rattle ๐ชฆ
tawny cliff
Yeah Futurehome is a Norwegian company (I'm Norwegian, figured I should support Norwegian innovations). Their huge mistake was selling the smarthub for a fixed price and that's it. They had to provide support, patches, new features etc. and they didn't really have a revenue stream. So they recently declared bankruptcy. The new owners keeps the brand running, but they changed the business model to a subscription based one.
Basically all Futurehome owners (a lot of them in Norway) were suddenly forced, out of the blue, to pay for a subscription in order to access their home. Failure to do so meant you lose access to the app, which in practice means you are locked out of your own home. People are furious including myself. So I went ahead and bought a Home Assistant instead.

Custom Email Notifications
iPhone Users
For iPhone users, you can set specific sounds for different email accounts or VIP senders:
Customize Notifications: Go to Settings > Mail > Notifications > Customize Notifications.
Select Account: Choose the email account you want to customize.
Set Alerts: Turn on Alerts and select a sound for new emails.
VIP Option: Mark important contacts as VIP to assign them a unique notification sound.
Android Users
On Android devices, the ability to set specific sounds for individual email senders may vary by email app:
Gmail App: Currently, Gmail does not support custom sounds for specific senders. You can set general notification sounds for the app.
Third-Party Apps: Some third-party email apps, like FairEmail, may allow for custom notification sounds for specific contacts. Check the app settings for options.
General Tips
Shortcuts App (iPhone): You can create automations using the Shortcuts app to play a sound for specific emails.
Check App Settings: Always explore the settings of your email app for any available notification customization options.
By following these steps, you can enhance your email notification experience based on your preferences.

oh I'm aware..
lavish badger
Heh, I own none of those. I think the only thing I have like that using batteries is the front door deadbolt.
And I honestly can't think of a decent way to not use batteries in that
Only power source anywhere near that is the 24v AC for the doorbell.
unborn merlin
just doing boreholes or etc is.. not very simple
forest edge
then donate them to good will so others can convert theirs lol
unborn merlin
Its doable. but its a pain in the ass.
and 1300$ for the unit I got is.. good enough for now for me
its not the god-of-efficiecy.. but it certainly kicks the everloving fuck out of the older unit I had.
lavish badger
One sec, let me show you this door lol
It sounds easy in principle...but...
Same sort of issue.
Getting any kind of wiring near that thing is damned impossible.
unborn merlin
well not impossible.
lavish badger
No, but not fun.
unborn merlin
it'll just require cutting a hole in the wall to fish ๐
actually.. there's a...
lavish badger
And not worth the effort.
unborn merlin
youtube video that I am reminded of
that.. pulled the molding off the bottom of the wall
then used a saw to cut the wall below the top of it
and then fished the wires below that
and then put it back on without needing to spackle and etc..
so that is a possible option.
lavish badger
There is an alarm panel fairly close, so I know there's clear access to the attic outside the rounded area

Deadbolt with external power?
lavish badger
If you did the powered part on the strike side it's much easier.
But that also leads to the potential scenario of if the power goes out you either need it to be failsafe and unlock, OR you're locked in the house if power fails.
Yeah. I mean, there are other ways out but they involve the garage doors.

tidal bronze
<@331255319365812224> saw baby dragons last night
Only the beginning
unborn merlin
helps that it doesn't have to shove a deadbolt around; just flick a solenoid to energize
lavish badger
I think the Wifi lock needs new batteries every 6 mo, so it's not TOO bad.
I've found it also won't work correctly with rechargeables, the 1.2v is too low
unborn merlin
yeah it doesnt like rechargables either
I've been tempted to build a lithium iron phosphate pack that I can stick on the edge of the door or something and wire it in but.. ehhh
lavish badger
I suppose if I were really ambitious, I could also use a 3.7v lithiium battery pack with a USB charging circuit and boost it up to 6v.

6v power brick plugged in at all times; if the house has power its running off wall-power.. otherwise it falls back to battery
sounds like you're not determined sir.
lavish badger
Also, that's marketed at a 6v, but it's variable so you'd still need a voltage regulator in between
unborn merlin
sir I've designed pcbs I think I could handle it.. ๐
god if I could build a house.. I'd be putting fucking conduit in fucking everywhere for low-voltage wire taps around places and etc
lavish badger
Yeah, if I ever do one from scratch, conduit everywhere, and like...8 cat6 cables plus fiber to every room
lavish badger
Yeah but if I'm pulling cable I'm doing as much as I can ahead of time

Remembering programing MIRC scripts
robust flicker
The writer of 7th Sphere and I were not quite rivals, but not quite friends either. He never got over the fact that Stealth Advanced could not only still flood him offline, but was impervious to his own attempts on me..
The secret was that I shipped a hexeditted mirc that totally removed the ctcp version reply, and he didn't. If you didn't or still don't, know, for a while, mirc could not ignore ctcp version requests. It always responded to them. Always. Which is why it was always so ridiculously easy to flood someone offline who used mirc. Eventually mirc added its own flood protection, which basically rendered protection scripts like mine completely obsolete.

as a student of computer science i was on good terms with the main sys admin, so he allowed me to set up a local instance of the original mud so students could play in the terminal rooms. text interface only. the condition was that during the hours with highest pressure on terminal access it had to be shut down. it got very popular. and one guy in particular didn't like the shutdown hours so he set up his own and tried to get all the players over.
the thing was... he didn't understand setuid/setgid and file permissions when he installed the thing so he left a big security hole.
in that mud you could play your way to wizard rank and the mud admin was arch wizard. the poor guy tried everything to block me from his mud, but i was in when i wanted to with full admin privileges. but my rank was listed as god. i could see by listing processes he ran that he tried searching for god in the source code without finding anything. and when i saw him trying to look for my processes to find out what i was doing i made a wrapper so the only thing he found was a process called "birger playing god again".

Hey people, hope it's not a bother im asking here.
I have some cameras that are recorded to my nas, but i cant access them directly
Does anyone know some sort of oss project that can stream from folders and files and maybe also have a timeline?
I can get the name formatting handled without issue, I just don't know any project like this
I saw people using something for this on YouTube at one point but the yt history is horrible and doesn't save most things
The only camera software I know are things like motioneye or scrypted or that uh I forgot the name but it had a special camera card in hacs for it whose name was changed to advanced camera card, but I don't think any of them can do this

probably not no.
most projects that handle cameras handle them entirely including the recording part.
... Which for scripted requires paying them.. including fees per-camera.. (which y'know.. fuckoff this is my local hosted thing?) or frigate is the other project.. but you'd have to not have the cameras direct record since frigate would be doing that part instead.
civic rivet
yeah i figured maybe there's some oss thing maybe already made for something like this as having a hardware nvr is not really an option
yeah but I don't think you can actually view a camera from the latest recorded files, at least I didn't find a way last time I used it
will set it up again and see though

? sure you can
just to make sure I am explaining well, I have a camera that saves videos in a folder on my local server, and I basically want an interface to be able to go back 2 hours to see what happened without having to open every 1min length file manually, and to have its "live" display w/e is the newest file
I can't access the camera feed itself, but figured hey since I have it might as well try using it somehow

so the camera just records x amount of time block videos? you have no access to an rtsp feed or anything?

yeah, the solution is
use frigate or such.

Makes very little sense to me ๐
unborn merlin
even the cheapest garbage has ONVIF or etc support in my experience.
I installed a bunch of 13-15$ cameras... they all work mostly fine asaide from some.. pain in the ass stuff with VLAN setup.
tidal bronze
Talking about NVR did they release the new frigate?

Ain't gonna jam a beta with cameras

Local LLM is not a thing for camera stuff. Total waste of time.

yeah exactly
civic rivet
yeah, the solution is
**use frigate or such.**
will try again, maybe I Just missed something in the docs
I have an older xiaomi camera which does not have onvif or any sort of similar access and when you cut external network you can't view it from the app anymore just what is saved on the nas
i don't think it's that bad to try not to waste technology that's perfectly functional and money during a time when my country's economy is collapsing
unborn merlin
its not "perfectly functional" when its a piece of garbage that doesn't support standards. ๐
"had to"
did you give it to them in a donut box?
"wanted to" is the right term. ๐
"had to" is with pigs just getting footage straight from ring without requesting shit from you.
so the answer is "Probably not, no lmao" because this is not how almost any NVR software works. ๐
forest edge
will try again, maybe I Just missed something in the docs
it won't work with just files.
civic rivet
I see, thanks for the info!
unborn merlin
that feels excessive for camera allocation.

retaining a years worth of cctv is just stupid
