    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Hmm ok. This seems a little odd, but I know there was a HA BI integration, so maybe that’s why it looks like this. Makes sense but I should double check that that works. I think I’ll just docker a test HA instance and go through the process of setting up the broker and figuring it out. As I...

    This is pretty much how it will look. Everything done except the actual full payload in the mqtt handler. If you have multiple topics that you want to use from the same broker you need to add another "broker" for each one. I did it this way because it's just much less complex and doesn't really...

    Can someone advise on exactly how the payload sent to HA is supposed to look in MQTT? How am I supposed to send the image? Having a hard time finding online... Here is what the test button sends right now: Topic: alprdatabase QoS: 0 { "timestamp": "2025-08-01T00:10:50.246Z", "plate_number"...

    I take it back. Probably going to be tomorrow. I want to make it good and test everything thoroughly since this is a high value feature for the HA users. Looking rly good tho. Taking care of some other roadmap items while I’m at it.

    Alright sounds good. I can definitely include all of that and make it customizable. I need to look into the mqtt library I'm using and figure out if/how they do fancier dynamic payloads. For example, if you want to have a custom title or message with it or something or that sort. The attributes...

    This will be ready this evening :) Edit: Question, do people need to be able to send to multiple MQTT topics? Right now, it looks like this to enter your broker and topic, but I'm wondering if I should change it to be a list of multiple that you can then select from in the notification page. LMK

    I built a public image accidentally when I was testing. I think that might have like 2/3 of what will actually be in the release. I wanted to have it out last week, but actually had a bit of a health scare (I'm fine..), then was out of the country until yesterday. I can try to polish off the...

    Can you clarify what exactly it is that you are looking to achieve? You want to search in HA or in this app? Search past alerts that were sent to HA? I've already gotten the MQTT send working, so I'm happy to add this - just not exactly sure what you are describing.

    I think it was someone else. I asked bc it was asking about the same thing. I linked the solution.

    Glad you got it working. Is Issue #67 on GitHub yours?

    Please check the system logs page in the app and share what it says. You can also try using &PLATE instead of the ai_dump json. There’s a bug right now that causes the requests to error if you have any other ai objects in the detection.

    Re general automations, I wasn’t going to build that into this app. Posted here just because it’s kind of adjacent. I’d agree with your points as far as ALPR goes. I’ve just been playing around with a bunch of new AI tools recently and find it exciting to see what u can do. Right now the build...

    I will make sure this is in the coming update.

    Yes, I’ve already built out the page to show the TPMS live and receive it, but the decoder that is popular, built into RTL 433, has been extremely unreliable for me. It worked great at one point, so I’m not entirely sure why. I certainly do think this is a key advantage in vehicle detection...

    I think I’m going to publish some core n8n automations for other blue Iris users to use that they can easily download and apply. What I’ve really been thinking about, though, is what a seriously powerful futuristic home surveillance system would look like. And I’m not exactly sure. I feel like...
