1 year agoI’m running a few Reolink RLC-520A’s on a separate VLAN with Frigate and Home Assistant - no GPU or Coral yet, just a CPU detector. It works pretty well! The reason they might not be the first choice is that YMMV with HA/Frigate compatibility based on which model you get, a little research must be done. Frigate has some specific settings to make the RTSP work better on the models that are functional.
I like the concept, here’s a few questions!
I’ve been looking at setting up soil monitors for my garden, although I’m wanting them to report to Home Assistant. I’d prefer a Zigbee or Z-Wave monitor, but it seems bluetooth or rolling your own seems to be the way to go right now.
