Hey everyone, I’ve been diving into the world of smart cameras and automation lately, and I wanted to share some of my experiences and questions with you all. First off, I recently set up a few Reolink RLC-420 dome cameras, and they’ve been fantastic so far. The image quality is great, and the integration with my UI7 setup has been smooth. However, I’m struggling with one thing: motion detection triggering scenes. I’ve tried following the instructions, but I can’t seem to get it to work. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for setting this up properly? I’d really appreciate any advice you can offer. ![]()
On another note, I came across an interesting post about using smart cameras in environments with TVs, which reminded me of my own setup. My cameras are positioned in a room with a TV, and I’ve noticed some false face detections. It’s a bit frustrating because it’s hard to distinguish between real and false detections. I wonder if there’s a way to set up exclusion zones or filters to minimize this issue. I’ve heard that some competing brands offer this feature, so I’m hopeful that it might become available soon. If anyone has any workarounds or suggestions, I’d love to hear them!
Lastly, I wanted to touch on the topic of integrating different smart devices. I’ve been experimenting with a Shelly 1PM to monitor my PC’s power usage, and it’s been a fun project. I’m using it to track real-time data, which I’d like to display during my Twitch streams. I’m curious if others have similar setups or if there are any recommended tools or apps for presenting this data in a user-friendly way. If you have any insights or resources, please share!
Overall, it’s been a great journey exploring all the possibilities with smart home devices, and I’m excited to continue learning and improving my setup. Thanks for reading, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences! ![]()
