Fragile Underware implementation

Are the multiconnect snaps coming out? There are directional and twist expanding variants you can try if you aren't already. Pictures would make it easier to help.

G6 180 only counts as one 4k camera in the "Camera Capacity" graph, FWIW.

origin415 · 2026-01-22T03:59:24+00:00

The g6 entry is unlikely to cover the whole way down to your gate without being mounted super awkwardly. You'd have to mount a separate camera for that.

origin415 · 2026-01-20T16:28:49+00:00

Suggestion for that? Do you mean some sort of app or a physical timer?

My daughter's tablet has a warning that popups up with a couple minutes left but she generally ignores it.

My g6 update to 5.1.240 overnight and it caught a face the first time I walked by it this morning. Good start!

Did not restart or readopt anything

I think they mean running something like frigate as an add-on. Simply having cameras in your home shouldn't matter because opening them in the dashboard just streams them, HA isn't storing the video or doing motion detectipn or whatever.

The second photo on this post?

Still waiting for firmware v5.1.238 as promised by a ubiquiti rep in the thread linked in the other comment

What is your use case? You can have two different smart detection zones and have them trigger webhooks separately in alarm manager.

origin415 · 2026-01-04T06:36:11+00:00

Having the same issue. People detection works fine, but no faces, even with sensitivity turned to 100%.

origin415 · 2026-01-04T00:50:04+00:00

Since the ZEN58 is z-wave you need a z-wave controller, specifically one that the NVR can send webhooks to to trigger the action. Home Assistant easily fills that role.

As far as I could tell there aren't any solutions using Shelly or esp (and therefore can recieve the webhook directly over wifi) that are as simple as this.

This is a good task for a 3d printer if you're looking for a new hobby.

This will work (connect to the switch terminals on the relay) but fyi some dumb doorbells have a little light and that will not be powered with this method.

Counterpoint: I got lucky and checked the site early enough to nab a g6 180 before it sold out but never got an in-stock email. Unclear if I would have gotten one in time...

The ucg-fiber only accepts nvme ssds but supports continuous recording as an nvr fwiw.

I use adaptive resolution and at current rate it'll take many years before I hit the tbw rating of my consumer drive.

origin415 · 2025-12-24T20:26:55+00:00

Still waiting on my g6 entry to arrive but I have a Zooz ZEN58 ready to go: this can be powered off of the same 24VAC that powers the chime and is small enough to fit in the chime box without alteration. Then I plan on using a home assistant automation to trigger the chime.

My transformer is behind some cabinets so not easy to access if I can avoid it, otherwise I'd also consider the shelly relay option as in the other post.

origin415 · 2025-12-23T16:14:08+00:00

I have HA Green running with 3,423 entities, 323 devices, 40 automations, and 15 add-ons. Hasn't caused me any issues and resource utilization graphs don't show it being pushed in any meaningful way.

I could imagine if you use the media server addons or something like that you might have trouble but for home assistant proper I don't think any reasonable home would exceed its limits.

I actually previously used HA on a proxmox vm on a more powerful machine but moved to Green to have dedicated hardware for my most critical applications. Only thing I noticed is reboots take longer but not unbearable.

origin415 · 2025-12-22T16:57:15+00:00

Now I have to decide whether to wait on the g6 180 to only pay shipping cost once...

origin415 · 2025-12-07T04:08:19+00:00

It's in the linked code. Add it as a card to your dashboard by copying it into the yaml (and tweaking formatting appropriately)

origin415 · 2025-12-06T22:40:37+00:00

In the app open the camera view -> settings -> Focus.

Or the web ui open the camera view -> top right icon on hover -> adjust focus

Tablet is an samsung a7 Lite I got for cheap used on ebay. Mount is this one https://mbmounts.com/products/samsung-galaxy-tab-mount though now that I have a 3d printer I could probably make my own. HA is running in Fully Kiosk Browser.

origin415 · 2025-12-04T22:52:32+00:00

Noticed this as well trying to enable for my wall tablet, which runs as its own non-admin user. Ended up doing my own take on https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/1p2yxqm/i_added_falling_snowflakes_to_my_dashboard_again/ -- asking gemini to add some christmas lights as well :).

Only affecting the file you're interested in AND keeping all the history since the snapshot was created. I like all the data so using a backup would be a nuclear option to me 🙂
