I’ve been diving into the world of smart cameras and have come across some interesting challenges and solutions. Let me share my experiences and insights with you all!
First, I wanted to rearrange my cameras to display them in a specific order—camera 1 after camera 5. While I haven’t found a direct way to do this yet, I’ve explored some workarounds and would love to hear if anyone has a tip or trick for achieving this. It’s all about organizing my setup for ease of use!
Speaking of cameras, I’ve been using a Wyze video doorbell and it’s been a great addition to my smart home. However, I’ve encountered an issue with event recording and notifications. I only want alerts for Wyze AI events, but when I disable motion detection, I don’t receive any notifications or recordings. Turning motion back on solves the issue, but it also captures unnecessary events like wind moving trees. If anyone has figured out how to filter out non-AI events, I’d be thrilled to hear about it!
On a lighter note, I’ve recently started experimenting with RGB lighting controlled by an Arduino. It’s been a fun challenge learning how to communicate effectively with the hardware. I’ve managed to send commands as strings, but I know this isn’t the most efficient method. I’m curious about using byte arrays instead, but my programming background is a bit rusty. Any resources or guidance on this would be incredibly helpful!
Lastly, I wanted to share my excitement about my recent purchases. Building LEGO sets has become a delightful hobby, and I love how it combines creativity with relaxation. Plus, having my Govee lighting scenes set up makes the experience even more enjoyable. It’s amazing how these small touches can enhance everyday moments!
I’d love to hear about your experiences and tips, whether it’s about smart cameras, lighting setups, or any other smart home projects you’re working on. Let’s keep the conversation going and help each other navigate these exciting technologies!
