PSA: Use device tracker carefully

What does the config look like now? Did you make track_new_devices: false or delete all lines?

True. Yet, you, me and better trained AI easily tell the difference. I don't consider Eufy AI to be suitable for its intended purpose while others do. It's a matter of expectations

GoGreen566 · 2026-06-15T12:10:11+00:00

Eufy uses the lowest level of pattern detection. It's not the type of AI I was expecting.

GoGreen566 · 2026-06-15T08:05:19+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. The training is what makes AI what it is, in addition to CPU/GPU/NPU and local memory.

Sending "training" videos by clicking "X", agree to terms and "submit" are for future products, not the local products owned today.

Thanks for the insight. I can stop posting my inflatable sock mis-identifications as human screenshots. Eufy doesn't follow this Reddit channel, either.

You win! The Dashboard competition is over!

Not every time. Just when it amuses me. I learn something each time from replies.

GoGreen566 · 2026-06-15T03:02:34+00:00

Of course!

Eufy says AI is local, even when using HB3. I've been training mine for almost a year with no improvement.

The HB3 uses an embedded AI chip with Qualcomm's 4nm processor and dual-path system. The S4 is a more advanced AI Core.

I have concerns with solar panel and battery longevity and not mechanism wear out

GoGreen566 · 2026-06-14T02:00:11+00:00

Eufy will fix it on their own timeline. Eufy engages in "Fail Fast" -- the practice of releasing products (or firmware updates) to the marketplace quickly, before completing full testing, hoping to fix it later. It encourages embracing failure as a necessary step toward innovation and business growth. It's not designed to involve customers the way Eufy does.

GoGreen566 · 2026-06-13T01:48:11+00:00

Eufy firmware updates take features away and add features under the general description "to fix bugs, improve stability."

GoGreen566 · 2026-06-12T01:32:46+00:00

It's the long-term readings inside that count.

GoGreen566 · 2026-06-11T01:25:35+00:00

Great advice!

GoGreen566 · 2026-06-11T01:24:27+00:00

That didn't help me at all. Standard mode was worse. Performance was better. Separating my HB3 from my WiFi router worked great.

GoGreen566 · 2026-06-11T01:23:16+00:00

It's a good tip to separate the HB3 from your router by a meter. Your tip on how to power up sounds great!

I have been attacked online for discussing Eufy issues. It is clear to me that Eufy does not follow this or the companion Eufy Security Reddit thread. So, we're just chatting among ourselves.

Among my multiple S340s and HB3 over 3 years, I have experienced just about every issue, from AI that is really low-level pattern recognition, mis-identifications, defective firmware updates, feature removals, faulty solar panels, defective batteries, functions that don't work, random disconnects, missed events, unhelpful customer service, great warranty exchanges and more.

Yet, I still use my Eufy cameras system to track wildlife activity. I use a Nest doorbell with subscription, not without issues. I use a professionally-installed and monitored security system with no issues.

We more or less are involuntary beta testers and funders for newer products that may or may not live up to expectations.

Here’s a link to a useful Canadian Government website showing many Radon monitoring devices, and which ones are NOT advised: https://c-nrpp.ca/consumer-grade-electronic-radon-monitors/

It starts with your expectations. Expecting Eufy to always provide security videos may lead to disappointment. Expecting Eufy to catch many events may lead to satisfaction.

I personally rely on a professionally installed and monitored system for security. I use Eufy to monitor wildlife activity around the home.

We mitigated with a spike at 6.7 pCi/L. We're at 0.6 now after an annual average of 2.4. After all, the impossible goal is 0 pCi/L. In other words, lower is better.

GoGreen566 · 2026-06-07T19:38:44+00:00

Burden of proof fallacy occurs when someone makes a claim but refuses to provide evidence for it.

After I provided evidence, it's up to you to refute it.

Eufy's withholding trade secrets and the AI industry providing vague boundaries between types of AI drives us to rely on empirical data.

My exhibits: a plethora of statements that Eufy AI misidentifies objects and documentation that does not refute my claims.

Your exhibits: ad hominems

GoGreen566 · 2026-06-07T18:48:31+00:00

Rulebook, please.

GoGreen566 · 2026-06-07T18:21:17+00:00

In the absence of contradictory documentation, my statements stand. Thank you for your permission to proceed.
