You’re a gem - messaged.

I’d have taken you up on it, but half my country are morons and dragged us out of EU.

If you still have it, it may still be useful to a dev - especially if it’s been off the net and not updated.

I can’t find anything else today with the same features at least. A shame it’s unfriendly to open standards.

You can at least get the who’s in/out with a pair of cheap cameras (one inside, one out) and the frigate add-on. Set up for cat detection it’s fairly decent:

If you build up enough images of your creatures, you could even train a model to recognise them each specifically.

The one that has the little hub with the light up ears?

Last I heard the local workaround was updated out of the software and that one dev had taken their project on it private, due to the manufacturer actively working to make it difficult.

Insane price to buy new, and have been getting a kicking in the reviews for poor function & support. I was considering, because it would be nice to have in HA, but all the above has put me off it.

Will probably end up with a standard chip reader flap and continue to rely on cameras for IDing who’s in and out. All I’d want remotely is a way to force an unlock, for dealing with any failures to open. Could maybe mod that in.

They never asked me for that (UK here). Was up and running with just the basics in minutes. Are you on a list? 😅

They do have a waiting/payment cycle period on their server offering before they’ll open mail ports. Once you qualify, you still need to raise a ticket to ask. That was a bit annoying as my new ISP is stricter with the ports than prior, meaning I had to wait before my relay workaround could send mail.

Same setup here, Hetzner/Rclone with enc. Script runs daily on the NAS to beam everything up. Very happy.

Make at least one offline copy of what you need to decrypt and keep separate though. An inaccessible encrypted backup is no backup at all.
