  1. Thanks. It's fun, but not terribly practical yet as the tech is still developing. For instance you can tell it to give you license plate numbers, but it tends to hallucinate and give fake ones, even if you tell it "Provide a license plate number but only if you are SURE." But you can see where it's going to be very cool (and intrusive). The one practical use i've found is that i've got it watching the backyard of an AirBNB to tell me if it spots two or more dogs (only one is allowed). It's pretty good at that.
  2. Sort of a fun thing I'm doing with Home Assistant, but I'd think it should be doable with C4 if someone writes an integration. When Unifi detects an object (vehicle, person, animal), HA sends a camera snapshot to Google Generative AI with a prompt to interpret what's occurring in the photo. A notification is then sent to the phone with the AI text and the snapshot. It can be very accurate if the image quality is good and the prompt is good:
  3. So there is an existing python library that a home assistant guy developed, someone could port it over. https://github.com/jeeftor/intellifire_hacs However, the WFM module is hilariously buggy and falls offline on its own, all the time. The relay solution mentioned above is a good answer.
  4. I'm on home assistant for three properties. I don't agree about smaller ecosystem, it's larger. Definitely agree about lack of official support, and yes agree that you are depending on another community member or members for drivers. And yes - you are doing it DIY, it's all you backed by some good, some bad documentation, and a community support forum and Redd it
  5. What everyone else said. Plus Home Assistant too, Apple Home, sort of (now I'll run away to avoid inbound missiles).
  6. Pretty soon you'll be down the road I took - HA as the master interface, C4 as the "slave".
  7. this is good advice. find out if there is an OEM control option you can use. I wouldn't spend a dime on a rental's C4 install.
  8. thanks for the summary. Should be an interesting one. The noncompete is probably not a great claim, they are really tough to enforce, but if actual IP found its way into the product, that's a problem.
  9. The Phyn is the assistant+shutoff unit. seemed desirable for a house that i'm not in/is left unattended for extended periods. On the moen, both shutoffs happened while i was out of town, so i learned about it from the app+irate phone calls from my wife, which was a definite home automation fail
  10. Hey - well it's been an adventure. The Phyn has some pretty non-standard connectors to tie into the water line, which required the plumber to try and obtain them from their supplier. Phyn does a pretty poor job of explaining what's needed, so it went back and forth for a couple weeks, with calls and emails in to Phyn. Finally, the plumber said, let's just do the Moen Flo, we install all them all the time, and we have the parts. So I did that and the Flo has been "fine" apart from the power supply just dying for no good reason. app is fine, integration with my home automation is fine. It has twice now decided my daughter's bath was a catastrophic leak and shut off the water :). The Phyn - I finally did get it installed in our airbnb about a month ago, and guess what? It found a slow leak in a toilet. Got that fixed. I don't know one way or the other whether Moen would've found it too, but happy that the Phyn did.
  11. There is always the chance that they might break it, but currently Unifi Protect is working extremely well.
  12. It will be great to get access to all this stuff then. https://products.z-wavealliance.org/regions/2/categories thats what you meant, correct?
