Looks like Santa is already on his sleigh scouting mission! Caught him checking out our roof rack tonight.

(Using reolink camera, #scrypted #homeassistant #frigate with ollama locally hosted)

Getting ready for the big night! #SantaScouting #ChristmasCountdown #HolidayMagic

Turned of #blueiris for my self hosted #cctv after trying out #scrypted and loving it.

The HomeKit integration and mobile app are really nice.

Looks like my #Scrypted server has a failing SSD... 🫣

Intenso M.2 1TB, not even a year old. SmartTools doesn't show anything suspicious other than the drive hard-resetting itself during a 10-minute self test (in other words: the drive probably has a crappy SMART implementation too).

Already ordered a new (Kioxia) drive, lets hope this one survives until the new one arrives.

Ok. Haven’t been able to crack this #HomeAssistant nut, so I'm giving up and going to bed.

I have #Scrypted setup as an add-on. I need to start it with an environment variable in order to use a plug-in. I cannot figure out how to do it. I've added the setting to `config.json` in Scrypted's filesystem root, but every time I restart the plugin it gets overwritten with a blank file.

Okay so I’ve finally got most of my smart home things running off of #HomeAssistant and then linked into HomeKit. This includes all my zwave devices on Hubitat as well as my Hue hub.

After years of running #HomeBridge and #Scrypted on my homelab, I’ve noticed that these devices are far more reliable than any native #HomeKit stuff I have, so we’ll see how this works out.

I finally figured out how to get #Scrypted installed in #HomeAsstant (you have to add Scrypted's custom add-on repository as noted in the Scrypted documentation). Problem is it has an 8-10 second lag, unlike WebRTC (go2rtc) which has a 2-3 second lag. Ugh.

So do I do WebRTC -> Scrypted -> HomeKit?

IT'S ALL SO EASY!
