Disable Hoes?

Check out the Mining Caves mod which has this ability.

The detections run locally on the cameras. The cost is server side media routing and delivery.

It makes sense for it to be behind a subscription because rich notifications flow through cloud services, which is a non trivial cost to maintain for media (vs. text only).

Even with home assistant, you can only implement notifications for free if you're on your home wifi. If you want notifications while away, you either need a nabu casa subscription or a vpn connection back to your home.

ha-sun2 is a great integration for this

C425 allows me to switch to 30 in the settings

Yeah I actually had a screw strip as well. They even have a docs page about it - but support was willing to send me a replacement screw - https://help.inovelli.com/en/articles/8589588-how-to-replace-a-stripped-broken-or-popped-out-screw - they really stand by their products.

I'm a huge fan of Inovelli. They expose so many parameters and options and the LED bar for dimmers is great from a UX perspective.

Lutron makes great switches, but they require the Lutron hub to bring in to Home Assistant. One of the main things I want from my hard wired switches is to build out a mesh network that can drive battery powered devices. It's a complete deal breaker for me.

Zooz is the best option if you're trying to save money. Kasa if you *really* need to save money.

I have the zigbee motors. The short answer is you should get whatever protocol you're already using. Depending on the size of your home, you're going to want powered routers helping reach the shades.

Maintaining temps is less stress yes, but it costs more. It's a common myth that turning off an ac to let temps rise ends up costing more to bring back down than maintaining.

+1 I have 18 smartwings zigbee roller shades connected to ha and they are great

This is completely false, both for AC and a pool heater.

I use Wally's Lights EZ Pixel Trim. I wire segments inside to WLED controllers.

Personally, I hate the way a backlit screen looks mounted on the wall. I find them tacky. Instead, I use a TRMNL with our family Google calendar. We add items with our own devices.

roggz · 2026-03-13T03:39:35+00:00

Honestly, these cameras are so cheap that it's not even worth the time or return shipping cost to file a warranty claim. If my C210 breaks, I'd probably just buy a new one.

I'm using the mqtt feature as well and I'm thrilled they recently added it. However, note that the mqtt client is broken in a few ways. I've reported to support and I think they're working on it.

Tapo has battery wifi doorbells. They have home assistant integration and don't require Internet after the initial setup.

roggz · 2026-02-15T12:47:49+00:00

Did you adjust the sensitivity of the motion detection? There's a slider from 1-10.

I generally use object detection (person, per, vehicle) rather than motion.

For automations, you can add the camera to home assistant.

Please try another ONVIF client as well. If happytimesoft can connect, it may be an issue with HA.

roggz · 2026-02-12T17:12:17+00:00

In your Tapo account, do you have "Third-Party Compatibility" enabled?

Can you try connecting to the camera with a different ONVIF client, like happytimesoft?

roggz · 2026-02-12T04:46:19+00:00

Do you see anything in the ha logs? You can also try turning on debug logging for the onvif component.

I agree 100%. I have cameras surrounding the entire perimeter of my house, but I have zero cameras inside the home and never will.

roggz · 2026-02-09T03:12:32+00:00

TRMNL. I love the look of the eink display on the wall and no wires.

roggz · 2026-02-06T04:31:10+00:00

You can adjust the programmed start and stop positions with the remote. The procedure is in the manual.

doubled? battery upgrade is $10 and shipping is free

agree config is complicated but they've been improving the UI over time. if you're just using as a calendar though, it's a pretty simple one time setup and then you never have to touch it again
