Didn’t know about the edge tpu . For my cameras I don’t really need ( yet ! ) any advanced object detection / ML - just standard zone / masking for movement. I use that to control lighting ; far better than 20 movement sensors in a room . Really want to bin my windows based system . So slowly migrating across is the plan . All must happen without SWMBO noticing !!!

Thanks . That’s handy to know . Do you find home assistant stable ? Homeseer on windows always has issues when windows decides it’s update time . What’s the advantage of zigbee2mqtt over just home assistant seeing zigbee devices ? I also use blue iris - really good but again windows based . I believe an “ equivalent “ is frigate ???

Yep . It’s all very trendy

Considering migrating away from homeseer ( always hated it running in windows )to home assistant green . Want to move over zigbee devices 1 at a time - so I can test and be confident. This doable ? . Any home assistant people here ? Thinking to try node red

I think the way this design works is really clever . Live cables ( support cables ) roll over a metal wheel . So you just pull , cut to suit . Metal wheel each side acts as conductor . But like GhostBusters - don’t cross the beams .

SWMBO got a present from the postman once …

I’ve not seen one like this before . I’ve only seen support cables AND then a power cable . This unit seems to achieve both in 1 cable at each end . There were zero instructions chinglish or otherwise .

Well - I’m going to do it anyway !

Got one of these . Where it appears the support cables are actually live off the led dimmer . I suspect this as a cable touched the metal housing and gave me a nice spark . The cables are much too long . No obvious built in method to shorten them . As the support cable is the power cable presume I can cut and wago ( connector is in the ceiling so not visible ) - basically cut to length . Yeah ?

Erm , ummm - I’ll get back to you on that …

It ain’t for no water cooler ….

Don’t you worry ! . Once I do my magic you won’t be looking at the ceiling !!

It’s like reservoir dogs ; no one wanted to be mr. Brown The sales guy and SWMBO both liked it ( as if the sales guy wouldn’t ) I said it looks like brown He responded that it might be the light in the showroom , so we will take a sample outside . It still looked like brown No one wants brown - because it’s shit colour so everyone calls it rustic red - stupid mofo’s

Here’s the red I’m wearing tonight https://www.elitecolours.co.uk/rusticred

That’s shit brown colour also

Nah , shit . Shit certainly isn’t red ( or shouldn’t be ) .

Before anyone says the colour is “ rustic red “ . I think it looks brown like shit . SWMBO likes it though 🙄

It would seem once more that productivity on a Friday yields results !

Welcome ! Like your style ! Where are you looking for land ?

Think my walls on the piss a bit !

Getting there ! A combination of clamps , brackets and air bags

Oooooooo nice ! Photos please ! 😗

Yeah I think this also . Just prefer it to have some support and not depend on just the vertical units either side
