Actually they have a few cases with fans …

I got the default cooler https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-5-active-cooler?variant=41044554580051

Performance boost over the 4 is nice . You’ll probably need some proper cooling though …

Gave up with farnel . Went to Rs - loads in stock . Been playing today - at best I’m only 79% person . Frigates a barrel of laughs to use isn’t it …… 🫤😊

You are my hero

You hook up an ip cam through frigate on onlyfans you’ll make a fortune . People will pay to watch the Cornish cream their scones .

I just bought an i5 NUC to run ha oss straight on it ( i5 will be overkill of course - but I like headroom for expansion ) - 16gb should be enough 😊. Frigate ( migrating from blu iris because it’s windows ! ) . Just got to find a usb ; flash Ubuntu- then see . Better do some work first on kitchen so SWMBO sees “ progress “

You need to allocate playtime at Xmas for this 😊

Object recognition. So instead of masking in your nvr and having false triggers ( cat , windy day etc ) you can actually recognise a ‘person’ for example with a certain degree of accuracy. Google coral tpu video or something . You’ll see tests . 0.8Tflops of processing can be given to a meagre raspberry pi for example .

Yep planning on frigate presume I can dedicate an x86 NUC to home assistant and run this as an add on

Farmell have them cheapest at 60 quid Just ordered

Anyone got one ? . Wondering if it’s worth it ? In theory ; performance vs cost it should be .

I’m only going to initially do that one side . I can’t do up to the glass as that is in the roof / floor . So just in the ceiling void . Maybe 30 cm by 60cm - something like that . Probably though buy 1 whole 25mm sheet

It’s a plan .

I’ll rephrase … “ I’m past the celotex stage “

Of course I have no celotex so late in my build . All those off cuts skipped - typically 🫤 Will let it get worse first 🤣

That’s kind of what I’m asking . Should I celotex the area on the upstand in the light well ? . Can just about get my hands in there …

Not an issue yet . Roof light well is tile backer board with foil backed ceiling tile stuck to it . Ceiling had to be fire resistant tiles ( just a fibre glass backing ) Whilst not a major issue yet can only assume will get worse . I could get this tile out - but then what ? . Try and ‘line’ in the Lightwell backside ? . Cover back of replacement tile in foil ???

Oi ! (expletive deleted)er !

Like I made any errors…….. ☺️

Changed my mind to an o droid m1

@joe90 ; been so careful but missed this until I put the door on and swore ….

Did a major (expletive deleted) up . Missed the fact a cupboard door couldn’t open as hitting a corner plinth . Solution ? - move all the wall units back 18mm - (expletive deleted) that ! Company can have a custom corner plinth made that’s 18mm narrower …. Phew !

Gone for home assistant green as an out of the box solution . Did consider some kind of NUC . Had 2 modern i7 Nucs before ( mame and homeseer ) - both failed out of warranty 😕 I could offload my ip camera stuff to my Synology nas ( been rock solid ) but resent paying a license for cameras

Does that matter ? . The mesh just rebuilds anyway . What I mean is ; even if the zigbee mesh stays intact no HA processing is going to happen until home assistant is back up. Or is it you’re simply trying to minimise the ‘down’ time ?
