Your Raspberry Pi Projects

Not Raspberry PI, but rather ESP8266,
Finished my Wall clock 3d Printed project based off of DIY Machines YT Channel. Modified the code for my own use, to convert to 24h clock and add wifi.
Phone camera ruin's the pic a bit by trying to compensate for dark spots, looks much better irl.

That looks farking awesome! I've seen that project before but been too lazy to do anything about it.

There's a light sensor which dims the whole clock or whatever you want just code it.

Yeah took me a good 3 months, printing, doing the electronics, and learning how esp/arduino works never fiddled before.
 
I am currently using my pi4, with 8GB, and 256gb SSD as a home assistant server.
it is probably an overkill?
can i use a pi zero 2 with home assistant?i have a few zigbee devices, but might expend it a bit in future......

I use a 2gb PI4 with microSD for home assistant, with 10 cameras connected through onvif, adguard, and DHCP server.

All runs easily, so yeah 8gb with ssd is overkill.

Lots of people run pi3's but the 512MB RAM of the zero 2 is probably going to need constant tuning to keep it happy. I don't think there are stable versions out yet either so unless the idea of making a stable version of HA on the zero 2 is what you are interested in I wouldnt go down that route.

I thought so.
Also running a pi3 on my 3d printer, so maybe zero 2 for the 3d printer and pi3 for HA

I had the older zero w on mine running klipper and mainsail and it was just about enough but as soon as I added an accelerometer to do input shaping it couldn't keep up either. So for a barebones klipper install with no camera, input shaping, octoprint etc you may get away with it but its also going to be tight. They really should bring out a version with 1gb ram for the zero. I think you will have better luck on the printer than HA though.
 
I have 4 in use

1) home file server
2) home assistant
3) fermentation chamber (custom python script reading 2 temprature sensors, controlling two relays to heat or cool)
4) nextcloud server
 
Anyone know when ICASA is going to release the Zero 2W for sale here?

Which cameras are you using?

That again? Stupid ICASA. The recent Pis all use the same wifi/BT module so that it only needs to be certified once. They're bloody re-certifying the same thing each time!

Nice. Guess it's "grey" imports? Not that it matters if you really want one.

It's also costs 50% more than the approximate price on the PIShop website. Though, as you say, not that it matters if you really want one ... :)
 
I've bought a few PI Zero 2's from Pishop last year and still waiting.
I've since ordered a few from Robotics org who are 'grey' importing and used them in the projects.
ICASA is a PITA.

I couldn't agree more :)

Hikvision ColourVu, DVR is blocked from the web, using onvif to the pi and viewing on app with home assistant and port forward with dynamic dns.

So you don't use the Hikvision DVR at all right? Everything works via the Pi?
Edit: Interested to hear more about this setup, although not sure if this is the right thread for it.

On this specific topic I think it is relevant for others here to know. Since home assistant is quite big.

I do use the Hikvision DVR for recording.
I don't have storage attached to the pi or a Nas.

And one caveat of home assistant is that the onvif integration does NOT support h265.
So the DVR records main stream 1080p h265.

And the second stream 960p is h264 which the pi receives. This way the DVR stays off the web, and I can have live view on the home assistant app with the port forward.

I plan on doing object detection and telegram bot so I can get alerts with pictures, however I'm moving house right now so that will have to wait.

Thanks for the info so far.
So the Pi / Home assistant is basically for Internet / external access to your cameras? Or does it do anything else?Will object detection run on Home assistant or Hikvision DVR? (BTW, are those cameras BNC or UTP connection?)
