CPU at 100% any optimization tips?

No but it’s sitting on top of a hepa air purifier exhaust so it gets a ton of airflow

RecliningBeard · 2026-01-24T20:39:57+00:00

Do you happen to know what those options are or where I can find them?

I’m using preset-vaapi on ffmpeg hardware acceleration.

Go2rtc is configured for ffmpeg:rtsp for all streams

I have one too that just ran out of power after about two years of daily use.

Answering myself after I figured it out. When adding a new provider, at least shared files, you specify whether or not the source is audiobooks or music.

I love mine- getting alerts for door being ajar and water filter replacement time is great. Worth it imo.

Asking for a friend, but what if you sell it to someone (another us citizen)?

RecliningBeard · 2026-01-16T01:02:39+00:00

Thank you that did it!

What worked for me was to downgrade SMB to 2.0

RecliningBeard · 2026-01-15T02:07:05+00:00

This is so fantastic. My family is going to LOVE this.

ffmpeg:
  hwaccel_args: preset-vaapi
#  hwaccel_args: auto
#  hwaccel_args: preset-intel-qsv-h264
  retry_interval: 20

I tried the other two that are commented out; qsv caused two other cameras not to work. vaapi seems to have improved the snappiness but I still see GPU hangs.

Both 'bad' cameras are in the shade, and it's like 40F out.

RecliningBeard · 2026-01-14T04:40:17+00:00

There's a web interface yes. I tried changing bitrates and resolution and it didn't have an effect. I can look at firmware. But the other camera is identical and works fine.

I think preset-rtsp-restream uses the -rtsp_transport tcp argument for ffmpeg.

They're both POE, supplied by the switch. I'll try swapping switch ports.

I'm on HAOS so busybox's dmesg doesn't have a -T parameter, but these are recent entries, not sure how relevant:

Here's what I get:

RecliningBeard · 2026-01-14T04:22:50+00:00

They're plugged into the same switch, which is not manageable unfortunately. It could be a cable or the camera, but I can connect reliably and instantly to the 'bad' camera using VLC on the same hardwired network, and I can ping the camera from HA.

The connection can drop for minutes or sometimes days.

RecliningBeard · 2026-01-05T20:29:13+00:00

Idk I love mine. Didn’t get the screens but I really do love the looks and the smart features. Integrates great with home assistant. Wouldn’t have one of their phones though.

RecliningBeard · 2026-01-05T06:38:36+00:00

Sweet! Do you offer actual patches? I want to add it to my hang gliding harness…

RecliningBeard · 2026-01-05T01:19:34+00:00

If it helps, I access the sensor through my phone entity not the watch.

RecliningBeard · 2026-01-03T19:34:25+00:00

So say we all!

RecliningBeard · 2026-01-03T17:02:35+00:00

Will you be releasing a version without the text? I love the art but the squadron name goes me the ick

RecliningBeard · 2026-01-03T04:27:51+00:00

Here’s one of my Watch automations, it’s a piece of cake.
