There’s a card that gives me access to recordings, and it does work to play them back- but it acts a bit wonky. I need to spend some more time figuring that one out.

I wanna add some automations, like when one camera triggers have it flip the light of another camera on (at night only). Things like this are not at all possible with Reolink directly.

I’m sure there’s more I’ll want to add… and I do need to clean up my dashboards/pages a bit.

But so far so good!

I have push notifications working with photo snapshot — something Reolink doesn’t even support.

I set up a single page dashboard, with has my 3 PoE cameras and the doorbell on it. It gives me the latest snapshot from each camera.

Each camera on the dashboard includes buttons for the light, siren, and indication for if notifications are turned on for that camera.

Clicking on a camera takes you to that cameras page which starts the live video stream.

So, it’s going to take a fair bit more time to get everything set up like I want… but the Reolink integration for Home Assistant might just let me (eventually) ditch Reolink’s shitty app altogether.

Right now it only works with my PoE cameras and my hardwired video doorbell, but if I purchased a Reolink Home Hub I could integrate my battery cameras too.

hoosier.socialNefarious Aryq (@NefariousAryq@hoosier.social)Going to start exploring the Reolink integration for Home Assistant today since the iOS app is borked for me now. Problem is I will only be able to use it with some of my camera (the PoE ones), as I don't use their 'home hub" for my battery cameras. But, would be better than nothing for notifications and live viewing — if it works well. We'll see.

I see a lot of criticism for #HomeAssistant dropping support for Core & Supervised.

I've been working for a Linux distribution company for 25+ years. And I've looked at how many python and other dependencies HA pulls in to integrate with everything. And you need those versions to match up exactly.

Hell, HA is the type of software containers were invented for.

I'm in the process of switching from #ZHA to #Zigbee2MQTT and I'm really impressed by how much better everything is.

I know many people say this for a while, but after years of ZHA it's surprising what I've missed. Especially for some devices that exposed much less entities to Home Assistant via ZHA.

Suddenly I have so much more data about my home that I can not only see but also use for automations. Suddenly I can control stuff about some devices that were never available via ZHA.

I'm glad that I'm also switching the Coordinator in this process as it costs an unexpected amount of time to do this, as I have to update automations, the dashboards etc.
But in this process I can clean up so much stuff I did wrong in the last months and years.

Puh. #HomeAssistant wirft native Installationen und 32Bit-Systeme (incl. ARM) ausm Support. Sehr schade. Jetzt geht nur noch VM oder Container, also noch mehr Abstraktion und Rumpaketiere zwischen HA und dem System, was kaputt gehen kann. Alles sehr unschön, da HAOS viele Geräte nicht sauber unterstützt und Container viele Einschränkungen bei Netzwerk und Sicherheit hat. :/

Sigh. The #homeassistant team is deprecating the Supervised installation, which allows you to install HA components on top of a Debian OS.

It's not the end of the world to me, I'll just move to Docker, I have no problems with it. It's just meh that I will need to redo my environment. On the bright side, I still have six month for it.

Anyway, I'm not that pessimistic about it, the dev team are giving good reasons for why they are doing it, and I don't want to unreasonably criticize people who make an awesome FOSS product.

So I'm installing rtlamr just to see if it works.

First problem: you sudo apt install golang, not go, even though the commands all use go. Naturally, I only learned this from a random forum post.

You may have to specify the full path (/home/pi/go/bin/rtlamr) to get rtlamr to run.

Finally, you have to select the correct protocol. The default 'scm' did nothing for me - I saw a bunch of meters, but not mine. 'scm+' worked. rtlamr -msgtype=scm+. The ID matches the meter.

I am annoyed that #homeassistant decided to stop supporting the "supervised" installation method.
It was the only one that works perfectly for me.
HA OS - did not recognize the drives on the machine
The docker alternative - no support the hardware I plugged into the machine.

I'll continue to roll on the supervised install, and I do really hope that they do not remove the instructions from their docs.

Just add the disclaimer that "this method is not supported" - removing it completely really sucks.
