Well, I have to go switch on the kettle in the morning to make coffee. If smart I can just ask Alexa to turn it on. It's for lazy people, like me brows.gif

Maybe that kettle can be manually controlled too, just like most of the smart switches

Yes, act as a normal kettle as well.

Anyone tried integrating tuya Smart camera into home assistant?
I know there’s Tuya addon for their smart devices but doesn’t look like there’s much update for the camera
*
I think it's not really possible with the old types but Tuya already started to release IPC with RTSP/Onvif support so those newer batch will have no issue at all. Here's a preview of what's in store!

Is there a reason why they don’t include those features right away like other companies like hikvision/foscam who’s been doing it for ages?

Just curious since wanna try out amazon rekognition/doods with ip camera integration

Plus some tuya cameras really cheap like the ones from this shop

Tuya is a newborn baby where IP camera is concern, still need a lot to be done but since they already got listed on the 18th on Nasdaq last month I believed their growth will be tremendous. Newer types also not that expensive but of course not rm55 like what this shop is selling. That is even below my cost but different design and no idea what type of quality. But so far none of my Tuya camera has impress me. You should try get your hands on Wyze. Got a free unit from Amazon when I bought something and it beat the shit out of my Tuya's.

Noticed that one before, looked exactly like Dafang but running different system.
No really focusing on the camera specs, but more of what homeassistant can do with access to the camera stream & image recognition.
Certain xiaomi camera models already got hacked firmware for rtsp/mqtt. But just not much with tuya yet

Any recommendation based on your experience? Which is easier to work with? Interested to integrate with Home Assistant.. Later maybe opensource NVR. Currently using 2 Yi camera. Beside the app (human detection notification), I use Google hub to see the camera..
*
How is the latency of the Yi on Google hub?
QUOTE(alucard89 @ Apr 15 2021, 08:03 AM)
Which device are you running the nvr software?
The image recognition running in real time? Or based on snapshots taken from rtsp stream
*
Like to add in, is it using main or secondary stream? Following the Blue Iris forum and they says that second stream misses a lot of actions.

Trying out the wifi version

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/tuya-...w-sensor/201975

Based on this post, they mentioned no integration yet for door sensors? Unless there's been new update

No idea about Wifi. Only knows the Zigbee devices with a usb dongle flashed to special firmware will work with HA.

For smart switches:
Wifi type
1) no need hub
2) requires neutral wire but some don’t (ask seller first) with addition of capacitor

Zigbee type
1) requires hub
2) no neutral wire or with neutral

Brand:
1) sonoff
2) tuya
3) xiaomi
3) others got but these 3 above are mostly sold here

Which one to pick?
1) if you plan to do automation (trigger motion to activate lights etc) then better stick same brand (controlled by same app)
2) can’t just mix and match?
a. Can but you’ll need something like homeassistant/node red for devices from different brand to communicate with each other
b.Needs more exploring since some coding for the configuration but easy to learn
c. Some flashing firmware/soldering maybe involved but good thing there’s sonoff/tuya component available now

If I’m wrong do correct me pls

Hi...anyone using Tuya here? Just curious, what kinda smart automation did you set? Thanks

i have abandon my broadlink & geeklink. Now almost 100% on Tuya. Pir trigger lights, autogate open/close announce on Alexa & auto display camera on my Echo show but the latency is horrible. So I still have vimtag IPC which is so much better.

The ads can be removed on fire hd tablets & you can install playstore.

Means the actual incoming "live" is wrongly fixed @no 1. Just my thinking but since you so blur, my advice is to get a proper electrician/friend with some electrical knowlege to do it. brows.gif

Hi I was advised by my ID that I'd need about 50+ downlights for my smart home, but my lights seller told me it would be router sudoku if i were to buy direct wireless downlights like the Tuya Smart Wifi light as it would be 50+ IP's for the router to control

He then suggested for me to use lights with Zigbee 3.0 instead, but i can't really find much info about them? Is there anyone using Zigbee RGB downlights in their homes and which model and brand they're using now? Sorry no Hue cause it's way overpriced
*
Have a few pcs Tuya Zigbee rgbw downlights but didn't test it yet. Maybe this MCO can test them. In fact according to supplier they can even link direct with Amazon Echo plus with built-in Zigbee hub without the need for Tuya Zigbee gateway.

I will recommend you to invest in a Zigbee gateway & use Tuya Zigbee devices except for the IR which only have wifi currently. Btw, the link of the shopee IR is overpriced. Below 30 can get.
