I’m not sure if I’ve tried doing any PTZ stuff, but all the other settings for sure. The cameras I have all have SD cards so you could manage everything right from the UI and just have it record locally.
They want to connect to the mothership and destroy log files trying to get there.
All of the Amcrest “management” I do is within blue iris. I have a ptz IP4M-1041B but do not do any ptz stuff via HA. I use blue iris to send stream/alerts to HA via MQTT. This allows me to do notifications on motion. I would assume if you have location presets setup in BI you could call them from HA but that’s a guess.
I messed around with presets (camera location) in blue iris a bit bit didn’t have a real use case for it so I am not sure how robust it is.
I block internet access to all Amcrest cameras directly but can still access their local IP. I have access to my cameras again via blue iris which runs on a dedicated windows machine.
Been using enbrighten switches from Jasco. I use their Zwave but I think they have ZigBee too.
I use the ones that look like toggle switches over the paddle style to match the rest of the house .
I have them on all our bathroom fans too so they can be left on (steam / smell disposal) and auto shut off after 30 min.
Installed and we’ll see how it goes. Thanks for the heads up!!
I’ve got amcrest and I integrate them into HA via mqtt using blue iris.
But amcrest cameras need something like pihole to help block all their taking to the home base
Sounds like this would at the very least remove $20-30m in revenue (according to the article) not counting if the copyright holders decide to go after them.
I think it puts them in a precarious situation overall.
Probably too late for now but if you ever have a big spray foam job in the future :)
Best thing I found for spray foam is the reusable sprayer that you screw larger cans on.
It’s soooo much better. I was sealing up everything I could in the basement before drywall went up.
We had a radon mitigation system installed after discovering ours was quite high. The guy that came had one of these guns to seal up all the cracks in the floor
Great stuff Pro 14. It’s $60 bux but is a game changer. You can store the connected can on it for 30 days it says. They have a spray can of cleaner to clean it after your done.
I no longer have to daily drive mine so as I said I hope it lasts a LONG time!
Makes me glad my, going on 17 year old Toyota will likely run forever and is as dumb as a box of rocks regarding this stuff.
why is incognito transmitting anything to anyone. Glad I switched to FF a while back.
Oh ya for sure. I deleted my account, and moved here never intending to look back. I have clicked on a couple reddit links since I left but I really try not too. Like I’d say 5 times maybe. In the end if I need info and that’s the only place…
I just, don’t visit reddit anymore.
Problem solved…
I removed my account a few years ago when they moved a bunch of features behind their paywall. I’m perfectly fine just using Garmin’s built in ‘news feed’ and tracking without giving my data to another company.
Mine has like 165k. First vehicle I bought myself new. SR5 is just the middle package. They had the low trim as no named, SR5 then limited.
I got mine from Jim Barkley (brand new). Six hour drive. I drove down there in a 1999 Chevy S10 ZR-2 and traded it in and bought the Tundra. I was there like 30-45 min and I financed it with them. Jim Barkley is gone now, but that was such a pleasurable experience for a car buying experience.
Still love this truck!
2008 Crewmax SR5, bought new 12/2007. I feel exactly the same way.
Hope it stays that way.
There’s all kinds of people being born every day, growing up and becoming self hosting unRAID users. Meanwhile current license holders are growing older and dying off.
How is continuing to charge for new people to get into unRAID unsustainable? If it’s worked this long but isn’t now then increase the prices, or watch your overhead.
I’m here until my pro license starts costing me again. If that happens, I’ll likely jump just like I have done with other products I paid for that changed our original agreement.
I add them each as their own entities but they are automatically totalled after that. You can see in my image left and right main. That’s each Emporia
Haha ya no doubt
I had a humidity switch in ours a while ago (not smart) and it would turn on too much even if a shower wasn’t running but our windows were open. And, enough humidity was in the air. So that didn’t work out great.
It was a self contained deal not a smart switch though
