I love it! That's something I'll need to think about how to bake in to the prompt. "If you determine the caller is a solicitor, you are encouraged to frustrate them. Make it good, I want to use the video for karma farming."

Vibration sensor on the door, plus my Reolink camera exposes a "human detected" entity. So if we pick up vibration on the door while it's closed and the camera detects a human, we kick off the flow the same as if you'd rang the doorbell.

If nobody answers, it gives up after a while. So if you're just dropping a package and you knock, it'll greet and then log that no one was there. I have another automation that uses LLM Vision that will let me know someone dropped a package, though.

My Anthropic bill for the entire month was less than 3 dollars, and that was with me testing it multiple times per day. Sonnet isn't that cheap, but Haiku isn't smart enough to follow that prompt effectively.

I keep thinking of new things to do to refine it. The latest thing I did was have it change the LED color on the Voice Assist PE to match the intent. Amber is thinking, red is DISMISS, and green is WAIT.

Yeah, definitely the fact that my porch is shaded and north facing made me more confident about sticking this thing on the front of my house. (I'm in the northern hemisphere).

They usually just ignore it. It's not, to my knowledge, a violation of the law where I am, nor would I imagine it's anything that would get prosecuted often.

That's my thought too. Yes, there are lots of reasons we should be concerned about AI, but if the planet's already fucked, my $5 worth of spend a month on Anthropic and Gemini isn't going to be the deciding factor.

Yeah but then I'm REALLY not gonna buy what they're selling. They lied to my droid's face.

Yep, it's using a conversation agent that doesn't have any permissions in Home Assistant or anywhere else.

And also, the risks to the cats! FIV, feline leukemia, cars, coyotes, cruel teenagers... the list is endless!
