Aka a bribe.
Aka a bribe.
I didn’t ponder it when setting the cameras up, but after writing these posts I was planning to do just that when I’m back at home.
Yep, Reolink cams can be fully local only and still work fine.
Yep, but the method is separate from HA. Could do it two ways, I use Pi-hole so that it’s still able to contact the NTP server (could also set the time server to something local through the desktop app, I believe) but block all other external traffic, or you can block external access through your router firewall. I noticed the time would occasionally be inaccurate if I had blocked all internet access.
Either way you can use a VPN or other tunnel service to access while you’re away from home. I use WG-tunnel on my phone to auto connect to VPN when I disconnect from my home network, it’s quite handy.
I have the Reolink doorbell, among a couple other Reolink cams. It integrates very nicely with HA. I have it set up for essentially what you’re looking for, audio/video feed, notifications with an image attached when the bell is rung (also motion detection notification from another cam, but could do the doorbell too), and the ability to have it play quick reply messages, including custom ones.
I believe you can have the two way audio in HA as well, but I haven’t explored it. The Reolink app has this functionality if I really need it, but haven’t come across an instance where I needed to use it.
You should be able to do all this with just the Reolink integration.
“Our Computer”
It might not be original quality, but this should be fairly straightforward with a tunnel or VPN connection to your parent’s house. You’d also lose quality in having a WiFi camera instead of wired.
And also that many contracts to improve on IT are performed by the lowest bidder.
It will be a great day for baseball when computers replace ball and strike calls. It seems to get worse every year.
Wow, and 6 of those 7 were on two-strike hits.
You don’t have backups set up in Proxmox?
Really the only outcome when, in both cases, all they care about is money.
They likely just sent it to anyone above a relatively low karma threshold desperate to get any sorry fool to buy their stock.
I’ve purchased a few things after listening to him yell at me for 20 minutes. The reviews are useful, but I wouldn’t watch for pleasure.
Without extortionate extra fees either. I recently wanted to crossplay Overcooked on my PC with a couple friends on my PS4. “Buy PSPlus for only $100+ to play this game online!” Yeah, fuck off.
How about we just settle this over a game of battlebots and no one else needs to get hurt.
ERVs should be controlled by humidity, outside temperature, and time. Some come with an automated mode that adjusts run time and fan power with those. It’d probably be difficult to find controls that have multi zone, HA integration, and E/HRV features in one package.
I’d leave the ERV controls out of this one.
Network time protocol protocol
I think it was Freakonomics that did a series on it? But yeah, quite an interesting and convoluted series of events.
I heard a podcast with the author of this book and the conclusion was similar. He recommends no smartphone before 16. Dumb phones for communication can be whenever.
I haven’t read the book yet, but the podcast discussion was fairly informative. I think it was Hidden Brain’s Escaping the Matrix episode.
