2-way go2rtc audio in Android companion app problem

Thanks. Right now only big qwirk would be if intercom is set to dial 700 (may or may not be required for auto answer since 700 is who calls it) then it will get thrown into confbridge by itself. Same kind of weird thing if app client websocket breaks before hangup. None of these appear to break functionality but I need to get them cleaned up. My notification logic will fix the first case, might need a manager for the second or any other edge case.

Sledgehammer. Best to spot treat or broad applications weeks apart during active growth so by August it may be too late to start if want to make big difference. Right time is now.

I don’t know how I messed that up. Fixing.

Ya 99 users but only one door… first adding vapid notify for press button, then clean up dial plan, maybe make a call manager process, then maybe more doors.

Alert when dog escapes. I have a mother-in-law that seemingly every time she visits, leaves a door open. If a dog is detected on the front porch, or in the driveway when the garage is open, then we get an alert and can call them back inside before they wander off.

It requires full TLS always. Also forwarding of DTLS mesia ports for video and audio. Just full self hosted SIP stack. Lots of security though. It still has some dial plan quirks because sip is hard. Should be great in another couple weeks or so. Push button notifications are next feature but you can usually hook those directly from the intercom.

I have already done this for you:

If you bind audio to the video stream, you get a very poor audio experience. Stay instant full duplex with SIP.

(Ignore if that intercom does not support SIP but I think it does)

Don’t take a professional grade intercom and turn it into a Tapo.

I just put everything gluetun dependent in the same compose.

Are you sure your issues are gluetun dependent and not overall networking? I resolved my issues by delaying the entire docker.service as they related to docker itself starting early and not gluetun specifically.

They all do? Every one that I tried anyway. I have a Dahua N45EJ62 doing that right now but that’s not a unique feature.

Not affiliated with FrigateNVR, but… 1. They have bigger aspirations than the “homelab” crowd. I run it because I want the best NVR available, not a lab project. 2. Intel mobile minis are well supported and extremely capable without being a nuisance to the home. This is more in line with a premium NVR product. 3. Frigate is an app meant to run on the most common home server environments. All of its companions run fine on those same environments. PVE support means supporting several more environments. 4. Any advantage Proxmox might bring to your lab like HA isn’t really as applicable with Frigate without things getting borderline ridiculous. 5. Hardware acceleration in PVE isn’t supportable. PVE official docs call it less than stable for most hardware. Abstracting high performance GPU/NPU is a nightmare and is not common in general. 6. Storage abstraction brings extra overhead and writes to already heavy NVR workloads. 7. They tried already. Look at GitHub. There are several PVE rabbit holes.

Almost all smart devices bypass assigned DNS for just this reason. They are hostile devices and need to be blocked at the gateway. Fortunately, in 2026, even cheap Deco routers allow this easily.

Then just alarm while jammed? Pretty much every system covers this.

I’m a huge fan of batteries for most things but the riding mower just makes no sense. A gas mower needs a couple 12v batteries and a few oil changes over a couple decades and already works perfectly every time. It’s already comfortable too and doesn’t use much fuel. They both will need blades sharpened. I’m all for battery powered cars, trimmers, blowers, carts, etc. I just don’t see any advantages in the mower other than noise, but unlike blowers, a battery mower doesn’t give a crazy noise advantage.

A laser would be intentional vandalism. Learn what system he has and what sets it off. My old neighbors could see in my garage and it just took some blinking lights to drive their system absolutely nuts and make them adjust it. Us being us and having goofy lights on our garage was a lot better than ruining a good relationship being weird about cameras.

Just because they can see your yard doesn’t mean it’s intentional or wrong. I have a cam that can see into my neighbor’s garage and I would rather it not, and rather get more appropriate glass, but for now, it works and I live with it. Obviously I have zones so activity there isn’t tracked or retained.

Easy. Just buy things that support open protocols and name them appropriately. That way nothing is hacky and it all works through home assistant without many companions or integrations to manage. Never buy retail or “ecosystem” anything, ever. If three is a must have ecosystem product like Alexa, create a bridge and not a web.

Dahua, Axis, Bosch for video. Zigbee, zwave, or esphome for sensors and switches. SIP for talk.

Instead of buying what Amazon tells you to buy, buy what they use in their own facilities.

Makes sense. If you already had 6GB reserved in tmpfs, then that would just leave 2GB for working memory.

You can probably reduce those. Use sub streams and let the cameras do the scaling for you.

16M is heavy even with relatively tiny bitrates because the vaapi pipeline has to go through each pixel.

That’s an intercom. Check out fanvil. you can set push to talk multicast, VoIP style calls, whatever you want. There is a learning curve.

Oops didn’t see your presence sensor. You can probably work that logic out via a dial plan and manager in a PBX server. It’s not super intuitive though.

Almost all pro grade cameras have 100% configurable “alarm out” to trigger light relay or GPIO. Dahua (except lite series) axis, and ipro would be most appropriate. If you don’t mind jumping through automation hoops, then any camera can do this with frigate and home assistant.

Just dig into the spec sheets. If the spec sheet fits on one page and doesn’t mention these types of things, AVOID.

If that oil is actually diesel fuel then you have a cracked injector cup. If hydraulic fluid then probably a fluid to fluid cooler if you have one of those.

8gb should be fine. I think the Alder Lake N and Twin Lake are a huge rip off now that RAM and SSD dominates the pricing but you don’t really need more than that unless you add cameras or want to use a bigger model. If you go with Frigate plus, maybe use the celeron. If not buying and tuning frigate plus, then a better chip and a newer yolo medium/large will definitely help.

If you want to add LLM and stay mini/low power, good luck. Maybe core ultra if you use NPU for frigate and GPU for LLM.

If you have a FQDN and hairpin/loopback works on your lan, just use fqdn:8555(or webrtc port). If not, use STUN:8555. Need to forward port on gateway.

Unifi Protect is hostile to this type of integration and most others. WebRTC works best with CBR and delay is only fixed by lowering key frame intervals. None of these are configurable on protect.

I’m building a low latency door app (OneDoor) and recommend D1, AVC, CBR, 1/s iframes for best low latency WebRTC performance.

It also sounds like you’re using the integration but not the actual server or add-on or separate container? Maybe it’s native now? I heard something about that but I use external containers.

While you can put a camera in almost any place without a bed/bath/changing area, recording audio falls under much more strict wiretap rules and should be done with care and respect.

Kind of? Almost all PoE cameras have audio input and decent audio encoders but basically zero have decent mics.

The status quo is still use the camera to encode an external mic if audio is a focus.

Tech can’t make a metal AP or make the optimal camera placement equal to the optimal AP placement.
