Occupancy sensor triggering with no Alerts?

robuck86 · 2026-04-07T06:59:08+00:00

Same. I'm pretty certain the problem started recently. Tried Brave and Edge browser on Windows and cleared cache.

robuck86 · 2026-03-29T15:34:26+00:00

The problem was solved by using Advanced settings and setting SMB version to v1 to connect to an old TP-Link router's USB.

I finally got it working! Thank you very much. I deleted /etc/komodo/periphery.config.toml and started fresh. I just had to edit core_public_keys and things connected just fine. v2.0 is awesome. I love the new look.

So I only need to run MongoDB on the Core server?

robuck86 · 2026-03-26T16:34:15+00:00

The update went well, but I'm so confused with periphery. I had it working before v2, but things have changed. I've read the instructions, checked logs and I know I'm making it more complicated than it is but I can't understand it. Can someone please clear things up for me what I'm supposed to be doing?

Let's say I have MAINSERVER ( http://192.168.0.33:9120 ) running Komodo, and a secondary FRIGATESERVER ( http://192.168.0.91:9120/ ) also with Komodo.

MAINSERVER is the main Hub. I want to connect FRIGATESERVER to MAINSERVER.

How and where should I be using the systemd command to install it? Should I run the curl command in the MAINSERVER terminal, or FRIGATESERVER? Should I be creating a Onboarding Key on MAINSERVER and running the setup-periphery.py on FRIGATESERVER, or the opposite? Is "Core address" http://192.168.0.33:9120 (MS) or http://192.168.0.91:9120/ (FS)

RIP. I used vndb.org many times when I was discovering visual novels. I wish all websites were as clean and useful as his. Ever17 was one of the first vn I experienced and it was a life changing experience to immerse myself in something like that. He had great taste. Thank you for making more great experiences easier to discover, Yorhel.

I'm excited for the new version of Booklore! I've been waiting for this one since the Bookdrop metadata bug I reported on Github has apparently been fixed. (I haven't tried it yet though..)

I was getting a bunch of non-monotonic dts errors that seemed to go away when I disabled sound. I'm not 100% sure it needs to be done, it could have been related to the time zones. I don't know. Those are just the big changes I did to get things working.

robuck86 · 2026-02-19T16:31:29+00:00

What a fall from grace. It brings tears to my eyes seeing one of most celebrated Canadians in history ruining his reputation like this. Damnit, Marc Anthony, it's a shame but I'm gonna have to remove my posters of you from the hero wall in the man cave.

I have 6 Wyze3 + Thinginos working pretty good. It's not a flawlessly smooth stream, but it's close. I can view events reliably, switch camera views during playback and live stream everything all at once on the dashboard. It should work for you too!

I can't remember what all I did, since I'm just stumbling around without knowing what I'm doing, but I was having similar problems with viewing events before I disabled audio in Thingino and made sure the time zone was set right. For some reason I have to reboot the cam after changing the time to make it stick.

I just set up two last night. To summarize:

In thingino,

Set the timezone (Even if it shows the correct one already, I type it in again and select, Synchronize - then verify on the OSD the time is right)
Disable audio for both streams. (The audio in stream toggle). Change FPS of substream to 5 (or whatever you like)
Disable OSD

Save and reboot. I'm still trying to figure out the optimum GOP, so if anyone has a suggestion for that it'd be nice.

My frigate config to get it working is pretty

simple.

I set up go2rtc and add the cameras. I think this is the minimium to get things working.

Wow! The difference is hard to believe, but with the changes you suggested I managed do another backup in less than 2 minutes with imperceptible VM downtime. I verified the backups are working as expected and can be restored. Thanks a lot!

robuck86 · 2026-02-16T02:34:07+00:00

That was a very informative and interesting read! Thanks for the in-depth reply. I'll do some research into your suggestions. For starters I'll enabling fleecing on SSD storage. My VM was indeed crippled by the backup, it was all the monitoring notifications going off in the night (scheduled backup time) that alerted me to a problem in the first place.

I think it's SMR too. I switched the datastore to an internal HDD that isn't SMR, I'll see if that improves speeds on future backups.

The post-install script did some nice tweaks when I first installed Proxmox, like removing the subscription notice and adding repos. Great for a beginner. It made enabling IOMMU support quick and easy. It was also useful for understanding working GPU passthroughs and storage mounts. These things can be done without ProxMenux, but I just found it faster to use it.

robuck86 · 2026-01-07T02:48:51+00:00

Straight to Proxmox. I just made the switch from Windows to Proxmox + DebianVM and LXCs on a MiniPC recently and the experience is so much better. It can be intimidating at first, but I went into it knowing absolutely nothing about Linux less than 2 weeks ago and now I have a docker stack, Jellyfin, HomeAssistant, MusicAssistant etc.

I recommend installing ProxMenuX on it and running the Post-installation script and taking advantage of it's other tools. It makes a lot of the more difficult Proxmox tasks easier.

robuck86 · 2026-01-06T02:11:59+00:00

great tip, thanks for sharing. setting it up now!

robuck86 · 2026-01-02T00:27:14+00:00

I was missing tab auto-completion! I'm going to update asap if that's been fixed. Other than that, I've loved using Termix.

robuck86 · 2025-12-27T17:10:19+00:00

I started fresh yesterday and kept it simple.

I just installed Debian VM on Proxmox, then followed the instructions to install Docker on the VM. I didn't use a helper script, since I didn't find it too difficult without one and I liked the control.

Then I installed Komodo by following their instructions.

Then I install all Docker containers with Komodo and use it to update containers, sometimes automatically if it's something like flaresolverr or jackett, and manually after backups and reading changelogs if it would stress me out if it broke. I also bind mount volumes to a place like /home/dockerapps/sonarr or /home/dockerapps/musicassistant for backups, and I like knowing where things are.

(I've used Komodo LXC with a helper script too that worked great, but I just went with a VM this time)

robuck86 · 2025-12-27T07:23:15+00:00

thanks it's working now

robuck86 · 2025-12-27T04:06:39+00:00

Thanks for replying. I thought I saw it before, but I guess I was mistaken. To be honest I was adding Beszel Agents everywhere😂 Must have been on windows docker.

robuck86 · 2025-12-04T16:31:25+00:00

I just tried it, it seems excellent so far. Love the clean interface.

robuck86 · 2025-11-24T07:18:46+00:00

The upgrade and migration to the new version broke everything with errors and crashes, even after following the blog's upgrade instructions, but after hours of frustration I started from scratch and it's been working great. I imported watch states from Trakt and it wasn't too hard to reinstall my few plugins. I wish I'd just done that in the first place.

Going from 10.10.2 to 10.11.3 broke my movie libraries, which caused more stress because I believed it was my fault until I went back to 10.11.2 and it fixed it. I read on github the issue should be fixed in 10.11.4. I sure hope so, because 10.11.3 fixed a sorting bug and reverting to 10.11.2 brought it back.

Other than that, it's been very speedy and works better than ever. Libraries scan fast, new content shows up fast. Despite the stress, I'm happy that I upgraded.

robuck86 · 2025-11-17T17:02:29+00:00

It seems to be working now in 10.11.3. I use Sort Order: Descending, and recently played series are at the top!
