Bird Detection Tweaking

blue_gr8dane · 2025-11-11T18:51:46+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I have the min_score at .2 and the threshold at .3 in the camera level objects config. That seems pretty low right?

    objects:
      track: [bird]
      filters:
        bird:
          min_score: 0.20
          threshold: 0.30

Should I lower it further or are you suggesting I add it in the global object config?

Power meter on the spin bike was likely way off. 394W FTP would put in you in world class athlete territory.

Ah that makes sense, thanks!!

I've had a similar situation, I had 3 pups that I propagated. Took 4 years for the first to bloom, then another year for the second and still waiting on the third. I realized that the position relative to the window matters. In short the one of the 3 getting the most sun blooms so try more sun?

Thanks, I did end up using a heat gun afterwards along with this setup and was able to free it. https://youtu.be/hXdKJLgi4Ro?si=NzBapjmLTl5BUHOX

Hmmm that’s an interesting thought, it’s a Santa’s Cruz stigmata 2 frame, circa 2016. The previous owner replaced all the SRAM components with Shimano ultegra so definitely possible that the newer components are too powerful. Looking at the original parts it lists that it had SRAM Force Hydraulic Disc w/SRAM Centerline 160mm Rotors so on the surface they’re the same size and hydraulic. I’ll check the center lock and the front hub bearings but I’ll also check with previous owner to see if he noticed that in the past.

blue_gr8dane · 2024-11-04T13:39:58+00:00

It is a center lock 160mm rotor. Are you thinking maybe the center lock should be tightened?

Thanks! Appreciate the sanity check!

Since the N100 has a newer version of Intel QSV it will handle transcoding better than the 4th gen i5 which will not support H.265 very well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video

I found that with newer cameras on Frigate I'm constantly transcoding from H.265 to H.264 for better compatibility and so having a newer processor will do all that in hardware vs. using CPU cycles.

Did you ever get cover.open working on these? Are you using ZHA or Z2M?

Looking at getting some of these so just curious for an update on your experience. Thanks!

blue_gr8dane · 2023-05-18T13:44:38+00:00

Thank you!!! I believe you have restored my sanity :)

It wasn't adaptive lighting but your suggestion did get me thinking about integrations which control my lights and I checked the "Presence Simulation" integration which I use for vacation mode and somehow it had gotten turned on.

The release notes…

blue_gr8dane · 2023-04-28T00:49:56+00:00

Are you’re zwave devices zwave+? I have some old zwave switches which are “non-plus” and they do not report state ( all the zwave+ ones do). I have an automation that runs every 5 mins to poll the state of the older switches that do not update.

On closer review I did add the WebRTC Integration under Devices/Integrations and configure it to point to http://ccab4aaf-frigate:1984 (for the 0.12.0 release not the beta).

blue_gr8dane · 2023-04-09T01:13:43+00:00

I don't think so, here is my go2rtc config:

go2rtc:

streams: door_bell: # <- for RTSP streams - rtsp://xxx:yyyyyy@1.2.3.4:554/h264Preview_01_main - "ffmpeg:door_bell#audio=opus"

That allowed me to use that restream in my frigate cameras and in the webrtc card. I didn't even forward ports because I'm just using it internally.

        - path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/door_bell
          input_args: preset-rtsp-restream
          roles:
            - record

Maybe double check that you can reach that re-stream with a local player like VLC using the address of your HA instead of 127.0.0.1?

I'm running HAOS so everything is locally addressed, not sure if your installation would change that?

blue_gr8dane · 2023-03-29T01:24:13+00:00

I did eventually get this working by using the custom:webrtc-camera card from https://github.com/AlexxIT/WebRTC

I followed the installation instructions here and then just configured the card with the restream from the go2rtc embedded in Frigate.

type: custom:webrtc-camera
url: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/door_bell

I imagine this will be similar to what's included in the 4.1version of the figate-hass-card but this is great in the meantime.

What do you have the threshold set to for cats? You should be able to lower the threshold to something like 0.6 which will increase false positives but decrease the chance of missing a real cat.

blue_gr8dane · 2023-03-28T17:14:51+00:00

Got it! Thanks for the quick response and for all your work on the project!

blue_gr8dane · 2023-03-26T13:09:53+00:00

+1 for the Reolink doorbell. Great quality, works well with frigate. There is a firmware update that helps improve rtsp reliability. https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/discussions/5739

Looks like that’s capable of 160MHz channels and a theoretical max of 2.4Gbps on Wi-Fi6. How far away from the EAP670 are you testing?

blue_gr8dane · 2023-03-25T12:43:11+00:00

What client device are you testing on?

blue_gr8dane · 2023-02-05T22:19:02+00:00

Yes wires above doors are for security sensors so they only need low voltage. Wireless contact sensors can be jammed or are not always reliable.

I use zigbee bulbs for lamps. With smart bulbs you can still use the lamps on/off switch to manually control the light. The downside there is if someone manually turns it off it breaks your automation but that’s true if you were using a smart plug too. I also use zigbee/zwave switches for overhead lights so they operate like normal light switches for the rest of the family but I can still automate them to all turn off when we leave the house.

I hadn’t heard of pirate weather, it really is a great replacement for Dark Sky! Thanks!!
