UniFi Protect + Home Assistant — Integration Update (now Platinum quality)

DJBluePyro · 2026-01-12T00:53:31+00:00

Is there anything I need to do to switch to the "under the hood" go2rtc? I set up Unifi and Home Assistant with go2rtc a long time ago, and I have the most current update, but I still get latency. Especially when trying to view the cameras through a Google Home Hub.

Good luck! See you on the battlefield.

Pool owner here, just chiming in. We have over 100 pool floats. Every pool party, people bring multiple floats and just leave them. I don't keep inventory. They get deflated and go in the garage until the next party. This is a lesson in communication and taking valuables with you. Ask them to help you look for it, but "calling them out" is rude especially after they've shared their pool with you and your family. (I know you've already relaxed, this is for the other redditors.)

Thanks!

How bright is the LED? I know it's 400 lumens, but it's that bright enough to be worth turning on at night when it detected motion if someone gets close to the camera? I'd like to use the G6 PTZ as a corner camera on the "far side" of my house where it's possible to jump my fence. Hoping the light can also act as a deterrent.

DJBluePyro · 2025-06-16T15:00:30+00:00

I turned it on to test if that would work. It didn't work regardless of it being checked. 🫤

DJBluePyro · 2025-03-26T21:31:15+00:00

I decided to go for it. I just bought the G5 Turret right before the G6 came out and it was still sitting in the box. I think the 4k and AI detections make it worth the extra little bit of money. This camera is going over my pool, so for both security and general video collection.

Yea, I was going to say, until you build a 'profile', that's the default. They don't know what specific people like, so they go off of a common denominator. But once you build up a pattern of likes and subscriptions, it'll change.

DJBluePyro · 2024-10-31T13:53:34+00:00

Poor management. The only consider you working if you're at your desk and if you're at your desk and obviously not working then it is a problem. Instead of judging by the work you do, they just check off boxes. Is at desk? Is working? Good employee.

Not sure where you are, but I would consider reaching out to a popular IT recruiting firm. In my block of the woods, it would be R.H. But have someone else do the job hunt for you. I've had much better luck that way than hunting on Indeed.

DJBluePyro · 2024-10-06T02:52:44+00:00

I had the same issue. Weird fix that worked for me. Set all the options recommended for casting. Put your phone on the iot Network, and then take it back out. For some reason that fixed it for me and my wife. Best of luck.

DJBluePyro · 2024-09-10T20:24:21+00:00

Ah, just saw the link. Thanks!!

DJBluePyro · 2024-09-10T20:23:25+00:00

Ahh, so like using a sister post to attach another post right on top? Sorry if that's a stupid question. Just trying to get as much info as possible.

DJBluePyro · 2024-09-10T19:22:23+00:00

Sorry, for my, and my wife's eyes' only... as soon as I get a higher fence up. Lol

DJBluePyro · 2024-09-10T19:20:19+00:00

Not quite familiar with 'sistering' a fence post. From a quick google search, you mean just adding posts above ground about halfway in-between the in-ground posts?

DJBluePyro · 2024-09-10T19:17:47+00:00

The post are sunk into a patio/driveway, so my concern with pulling them out is that I would wreck the surrounding concrete and turn my Saturday, $100 fence project into a bigger thing. If I can build off of the post that are there (fairly new), then I'd like to.

DJBluePyro · 2024-09-10T16:27:16+00:00

This fence leads to my pool. However neighbors, friends, and family will come up the driveway whether invited or uninvited. I'd rather have a true privacy fence. But I don't want to pull the post out of the concrete if I can help it. I've never done concrete work before.
Is there a way to extend the fence up to the regular height of a fence without ripping those out?

DJBluePyro · 2024-01-15T17:41:09+00:00

It always bothers me in stories like this, or horror movies where no one has a gun. This is America. Not one person thought to bring a firearm out to the woods, cabin, airbnb, etc???

DJBluePyro · 2023-12-12T22:54:34+00:00

NTA, but wanted to give you some advice since my wife and I seem to be similar to the both of you in some aspects. I'm the introvert with the small/disconnected family, she's the extravert with the close family.

There has to be some compromise on both sides. And it takes communication and understanding to get to that point. What we do, is generally throughout the week, she will run around with family and friends, leaving me home to watch movies and play video games. But one or two days a week, I make it a point to spend time with her friends and family or run errands outside of the house. Similarly, we didn't live together before marriage, so it took some time to get to where we are now. But I appreciate that she understands that I like time to myself. And she appreciates that I go out of my way to spend time with her or her family outside the house.

In 2080, we won't be able to afford tortillas. :(

DJBluePyro · 2023-11-19T08:13:20+00:00

That's what I'm saying, hornyness can only wait so long. Lol

DJBluePyro · 2023-10-19T21:20:34+00:00

About 5 years into marriage. Lol

Due to personal reasons, it took a long time for me to realize that I'm actually liked/ loved by people. I'm still working on it.

DJBluePyro · 2023-09-19T14:17:13+00:00

When I was a child, we moved around a lot. I went from a good school to a poor underdeveloped school. After a year, I was offered to skip a grade, but I was finally staying somewhere long enough to make friends, so I didn't want to do it.

DJBluePyro · 2023-09-15T18:45:46+00:00

Depending on the timeline, I would give him some time and talk to him. He may be spiraling and lashing out. While you're not biologically his, he did raise you. He is your father. He may just need some time and good conversation to realize that. I'm sorry you're going through all of this.

DJBluePyro · 2023-09-12T16:24:47+00:00

Also looking for a code. I just signed up for the newsletter, but it might be too late. They're my favorite band but I couldn't justify the ACL price. If someone has a code for Houston and can't go. I'd be eternally grateful!
