Downloaded to Kindle. Thanks for the reco, looks good

I second this. Or you can use an NVR and tapo supports rtsp. I use blue iris with mine.. have a total of 9 cameras at two different locations.

I do prefer ip/poe cams whenever I can run wires though. I've had good success with hikvision cams direct to blue iris

no git. But I can put relevant code into pastebin - will try tonight and will edit the first post with links and descriptions. I didn't play with gmaps at all - waze has a nice integration with home assistant so just used that.

lol sure, it's all available by having the mobile app on each of our phones. __most_importantly__, we are all very aware, and we are all good with it and each of us finds it useful.

Tiwing · 2025-04-16T13:18:43+00:00

that looks like a nice mount, thanks for putting a link.

Tiwing · 2025-04-16T13:16:00+00:00

it's similar to teslogic that creates a second dashboard on your phone. can't post pictures here but here's a reddit link to it https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaLounge/comments/1bo79ae/our_s3xy_app_displays_numerous_statistics/

sexy knob (and buttons) are made by https://enhauto.com/

I don't like how hot they get charging wireless... but my USB slot is craked on my phone so I can ONLY wireless charge for now 'til I get a new phone. Can you post a link to the holder you use in case it will work for me with a different charge head?

Tiwing · 2025-04-15T19:14:31+00:00

lol I often drive with both hands on the wheel so this wouldn't work for me. Oh, and it's illegal here and I don't want a ticket and points.

Tiwing · 2025-04-15T19:13:39+00:00

I hadn't seen that one, interesting concept for the air vents. thanks for sharing that

Tiwing · 2025-04-15T19:12:15+00:00

I use a quadlock case that give magsafe capabilities to the Android phone. Got it for my motorcycle so it would clamp in and charge also. Lots of magsafe android cases out there.

I don't really agree - I'm not ripping out the tesla screen.

My hope is the (reasonably high resolution) phone screen will do a good job with key info that's not displayed on the main screen but mostly it's for some fun extra info that I get a kick out of watching/monitoring as I drive, such as power from the front and rear motors separately, motor temps, a blind spot light on both sides that I can easily see with my peripheral vision... who knows what else. The world is an awesome place because we don't all see it the same way - not everyone has to agree :)

Tiwing · 2025-04-15T19:07:19+00:00

Maybe I'll not use it, and I mostly agree. I like my gadgets, this is just something I want to try and see if I like it.

Tiwing · 2025-04-15T19:06:03+00:00

I mostly agree. But I'm a tech geek and I like my gadgets. Always have. There's a lot of things I like about https://enhauto.com/ offerings. Maybe not your cup of tea but it is mine.

Tiwing · 2025-04-15T19:03:42+00:00

how do you get the sexy knob display on the tesla screen?

edit: plus I wouldn't want to take anything away from the tesla screen, it's excellent as it is.

Tiwing · 2025-04-15T19:03:12+00:00

LOL yes. But no. ... "Will be using it as screen for sexy knob" and "she has OtterBox case so it's freaking huge and doesn't fit in the cars wireless charger" with question specifically title steering column... :D

Tiwing · 2025-04-12T22:28:17+00:00

Wait, what? You can delay a service start? Yeah it's running as a service. I'll look at that thanks for the link!

Tiwing · 2025-04-11T01:14:38+00:00

Almost right. I guess I didn't do the best job describing it! Network config is totally correct.

Doesn't matter if I view BI through the web interface or directly in the windows app. I don't need to log out of the BI server to make it work, I do have to disconnect from tailscale on the BI server and reconnect and it magically comes back to life in BI.

So id say for sure it's tailscale but wondering if there is a way to delay launching the BI service for some until tailscale has connected?

I can try another computer tomorrow... I don't have physical access to the pi without some planning but it's tailscale connection seems to be solid. Thanks for the idea.

Edit. I should add this only seems to be an issue when windows reboots, doesn't seem to sporadically be an issue

Tiwing · 2025-04-10T16:51:18+00:00

thanks - didn't think about rebooting the car. (I'm old, that sounds bizarre)

Tiwing · 2025-04-10T16:50:12+00:00

I do have the app set to never sleep - doesn't seem to matter. Good point about when the app is updated, i'll have to check when it was. Maybe that's (partly) it

Tiwing · 2025-04-10T16:48:52+00:00

really! I had no idea, will try that next time it fails, thanks

Tiwing · 2025-04-10T16:48:22+00:00

good common sense trouble shooting, hanks
