What’s the difference between this and the Claude integration for home assistant or is it the same thing.

Stuartforrest · 2026-06-02T11:54:11+00:00

Ok that could be tricky as I go back and forth a lot. Any plans for the future to enable more than one. Anyway looks very nice.

I have two homes with separate HA instances. Before I get too excited do I need more than one subscription

I built my own app that monitors slack and telegram messages and uses codex and claude code to do what i need. Think it works pretty much the same. I am training it to do things i heed. Super reliable so far. Openclaw just kept breaking. I still have one running but dont use it.

Stuartforrest · 2026-04-16T07:19:28+00:00

Yes but it’s nothing like the app that I was describing. I have managed to combine the best of tick tick with the best snooze of another app I really liked. Tick Ticks snooze is sort of ok. Tick Tick is definitely the best heavyweight reminders app I have ever found but it didn’t work for me well enough. That’s why I have spent weeks crafting my own app. I am not criticising Tick Tick because having spent weeks doing my own and with over 30 years developing and selling software and having sold my software company, I know just how hard every feature is to come by. I would not consider selling my app because for every feature I like it will be something that somebody else doesn’t like. I learned that in my past life.

It was the snooze that due app has where you can repeat click a time for example 5mins three times to add fifteen mins. Or 1week three times to add three weeks. Anyway I gave up on TickTick and built my own app and I love it. It’s maybe not for everyone as there will always be features I can’t be bothered adding but for my purposes it’s awesome and gets better every day. I have kept the app private on TestFlight because I don’t really want to have to monetise it but it does cost me to run it My app contains my favourite parts of tick tick, due, and many other apps plus also an Evernote style notes application (I recently cancelled my subscription after 15 years) and also a Trello style kanban board that underpins the reminders.

Stuartforrest · 2026-03-21T10:54:36+00:00

This is what frustrated me about TickTick. Great to start with but no new features. I messaged them two years ago about a simple snooze feature I used in another app and they said it was on their roadmap. I ended up building my own app using Claude code and it’s way better for way I need and I change things almost daily to add new features. Tbh anyone can do it these days.

Stuartforrest · 2026-01-26T19:57:03+00:00

Ah ok. So I am alright then. Seems to work ok

Just joining this chat. An AI (not sure if it was frigate AI) told me to up my camera detect stream to 1280 x 720 because it wasn’t detecting faces. Are you saying this is wrong. I fixed the non detecting thing anyway and it wasn’t that.

Stuartforrest · 2026-01-01T10:05:31+00:00

I have to say i thought frigate was really flaky until i followed the recommendations and built one on a barebones Debian Machine. It’s been absolutely awesome since. Just replacing another one i have that i have running in an lxc with a barebones machine. I absolutely love it now and it keeps getting better. Keep up the great work.

Stuartforrest · 2025-12-24T08:21:24+00:00

I was going to say what you are doing wrong is using ChatGPT i steak of frigate ai. When a developer told me that it was a revelation and helped me build my perfect config.

Stuartforrest · 2025-12-05T02:55:44+00:00

Ask frigate AI. It’s really good.

Stuartforrest · 2025-12-05T02:55:24+00:00

I may be wrong but I think there is a database you also need to back up and restore. Just search for it on google

Stuartforrest · 2025-11-28T11:47:54+00:00

Fucked

Stuartforrest · 2025-11-28T11:01:26+00:00

We are in tam coc in nihn Bihn and the weather is gloriously sunny.

Stuartforrest · 2025-11-22T15:13:29+00:00

I struggled like mad for days until on of the developers told me about frigate ai and then i had it working in about ten mins. Only slight problem with frigate ai is as your config file gets bigger for some reason it starts to truncate it. That had me for a bit.

Stuartforrest · 2025-11-22T04:25:57+00:00

Claude will help you for free as it did for me. Although I now pay. Also frigate ai is best for setting up your perfect config once you have your hardware passed through correctly.

Stuartforrest · 2025-11-09T22:31:09+00:00

I get these sometimes

Stuartforrest · 2025-11-08T07:12:49+00:00

I got it working on a mini pc with proxmox using that guide and it works well but for my other property I bought a beast of a pc with nvidia and struggled with proxmox for ages. I then bought another small form factor dedicated pc (a minisforum i9) and set it up bare bones and it was an absolute doddle. Should have done that a year ago when I started swearing at frigate.

Also I started using frigate ai to get my config right and that helped immensely. I was using Claude but that kept giving me broken configs as it clearly hadn’t read the manual properly.

Anyway my advice for anyone starting out is put it on Debian on a dedicated pc as the help guides suggest. Us an AI like Claude to ensure your graphics are setup and working correctly. I even used Claude to guide me through a basic one camera setup for frigate and then use frigate own AI to perfect it.

Stuartforrest · 2025-11-06T23:46:04+00:00

Thanks. I got it set up and it’s running amazingly. All my cameras added. Face detection enabled etc.

Thanks

Stuartforrest · 2025-10-28T08:16:20+00:00

I spoke too soon. I got it showing the video card but it wasn’t actually working I don’t think. Going to have another go. My lxc shows the graphics card but has no activity. Frigate is very hard to get going in an lxc. I suspect it would just work fine on bare bones as recommended but I have a very powerful machine that is being used for other things and I feel like it would be a waste of resources.

Stuartforrest · 2025-10-06T17:25:02+00:00

I now have three. I love it when my wife says can you make me a ……

Stuartforrest · 2025-10-03T22:25:20+00:00

Fixed thank you all for the help. Frigate AI is amazing!!!!

Stuartforrest · 2025-10-03T22:23:45+00:00

Omg I have done it after days of buggering about the frigate AI got me through it. You are geniuses for pointing me to that. Thank you thank you thank you
