My 43in Home Assistant Wall Tablet Setup
Рет қаралды 108,454
Күн бұрынIn this video, I walk through the configuration of my 43in wall mounted touchscreen TV/tablet for displaying my HomeAssistant dashboard. I focus on the computer powering the display, how I power manage the screen depending on whenever someone is in the room, and provide an overview of the content displayed on my HomeAssistant dashboard which features (12) 1080p video streams. Below is a list of the hardware that is part of the setup:

It look awhile, even though it's not overly complex. Coding wise, it's really only some time manipulation of the time since the last person was detected on each camera. Besides that, it was a ton of testing of how all the features work.

This is way beyond my HA ambitions but I have to give a shout-out for the LCARS theme. I had been thinking about how to have an LCARS themed HA dashboard and your example is motivating me to get started.
@rogerstechtalk Жыл бұрын
Yeah, I had larger ambitions for the theme, but figured if I didn't start small, I wouldn't make any progress. It seems like most of the people out there making really amazing LCARS themes are not doing it natively in the HA dashboard due to it being complex. They'd rather build their own front-end and query the HA APIs for data. I find it funny it's easier for some to code their own dashboard rather than dealing with the one in HA.

I'd suggest picking up an Everything Presence Lite for your person detection. Deploying Frigate's human detection is neat, but you might get more general use for detecting people in a zone this way and you free up that camera.

Would you mind sharing how you setup the custom Frigate cards to auto update the person tracked?
@rogerstechtalk Жыл бұрын
Sure! Look under "Cameras > Trigger Options" menu. There is a setting "Trigger by auto-detecting the occupancy sensor" which you want to enable. The setting below it you should make sure is disabled or else any motion detected by Frigate, which isn't even a human will trigger the image on the card to be updated. This just makes the card annoying since the last person image doesn't change, but the card refreshes for no reason. You also want to make sure under the "View" menu that "Most recent snapshot" is selected for the "Default view".

Hi, What kind of poster do you stand for in the last shot? I'm from the Netherlands but didn't see it before or understand where it came from.
@rogerstechtalk Жыл бұрын
I was in Amsterdam on vacation a few years back and got a chance to check out the Resistance Museum. I saw a poster at the end of the museum that I loved called " Free Holland Welcomes the Soldiers of the Allies" so I ended up buying an original copy. Long story short, that got me looking for other Dutch WWII propaganda posters and then I happened to find the one in the video. It's called "The soldiers of the Netherlands Underground Forces greet the Soldiers of the United Nations." You can check out some info about it below. www.swaen.com/listing/the-soldiers-of-the-netherlands-underground-forces-greet-the-soldiers-of-the-united-nations/30075

@rogerstechtalk Жыл бұрын
Hi there. My integrate is with Frigate frigate.video/ and not BlueIris. With Frigate, there is a HA integration and custom card that allows the screenshots of people detected to easily be displayed on the dashboard. github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate-hass-integration Wish I knew how to do the same with BlueIris, not I'm not sure without doing some research. Frigate is doing the object detection along with being the NVR, so it provides a very robust functionality. It's a big switch though since Frigate runs in a Docker container on Linux vs BlueIris which is only on Windows I believe. I'd definitely recommend checking Frigate out though if you have an extra computer!

What cameras are you using? and are you using them in a NVR?
@rogerstechtalk Жыл бұрын
I'm using an open-source system called Frigate: frigate.video/ . It runs on Linux inside a Docker container. I have it running on a dedicated machine that is seperate from my Home Assistant deployment since I deployed Home Assistant before and Frigate uses a NVIDIA GPU to offload the decoding of the H264 video streams. My Home Assistant is running on a mini PC with an integrated GPU. A GPU isn't required for Frigate, but it helps ensure the CPU doesn't spike too much. The outside security cameras are: Amcrest UltraHD 4K IP8M-2454EW amcrest.com/amcrest-ultrahd-2688p-1520tvl-varifocal-poe-dome-outdoor-security-camera-8mp-2688x1520-65ft-night-vision-motorized-varifocal-lens-55-104-white-ip8m-2454ew.html

Not sure what you mean specificity. Are you referring to the Birdseye view feature that displays the camera with activity? Either way, I wanted the feeds of all cameras on the Home Assistant dashboard. Instead of using GoRTC, you could use an iFrame and display a page from Frigate such as the birdseye page, but I don't think this would be a good experience honestly.
