  • Unless it changed recently if you already have 3rd party cameras, it’s all but useless for any of those features. I am using Blue Iris/amcrest cameras and when I upgraded to a UDMP I was excited to try it with the new 3rd party camera support, but I can’t really do anything but record. No detection stuff. Ended up only adding one camera and giving up.

    And their cameras, are damn expensive. I have 6 cameras outside covering most of my house. Entireity, swapping over to unifi ones is not in the budget.





  • I know JBL has wifi enabled bt speakers that would be an all in one. You’d still need your phone to initiate it. But being wifi it should be fine to walk away after starting the stream.

    Any assistant (assuming they’re still available) would be able to play music at night (a used Google mini) or similar.

    We were building our house when my wife was pregnant, I put ceiling speakers in all the bedrooms so that is what we used. I built a diy whole house audio system which we did use to play sounds/music at night in my kids room.

    I wish it were that easy. I’m pretty tech literate and I’ve had Linux installed on and off since the late 1990’s. I’m running fedora desktop on a dual boot machine that also has windows 10. The PC will run windows 11 but just like everyone else I’m not excited to upgrade.

    But I still have to hop over to windows to do things. I know it’s a chicken and egg thing, but Linux just needs to get over the hump if ease of use and app availability.

    Having to switch from. App1 to app1 that boat do say, CAD, is hard. It’s a learning curve. And add that learning curve into also switching to Linux and it’s overwhelming.

    I actually got my dad on fedora, and he went all in and set it up, and worked quite diligently to get everything working for how he used his computer. He did this because his PC was fine but not windows 11 compatible. End the end there were just too many things that he struggled with and he broke down and bought a new PC that came with 11. One of the big issues he had was with documents. Syncing documents that he was editing.

    He was OK relearning a new Libre Office but it was syncing it back to a Google drive or something that ultimately did not work for him. (I can’t remember exactly what he was doing).

    He ran with Fedora for a couple months before giving up
