    Home Assistant VERSUS Hubitat

    I've been using a now ancient, C5 generation Hubitat since January 2020 (just barely pre-Covid). The choice at that time seemed easier: HA was (and perhaps still is) the hard core DIY/programmer's choice. The latest Hubitat C8 Pro seems like an even more capable system, tempting even for my...

    Chuck Norris Gone....

    Cute, but his actual birth date seems to be March 10, 1940. Still one of the greats.

    Problem configuring a simple zone crossing

    At least for testing purposes, try turning off the AI analysis/confirmation just to establish a known baseline that the basic trigger works as expected. I would also lower the contrast significantly in the trigger (I generally run about 17 -18 in the daytime, lowest setting of 12 at night), but...

    Has anyone tried Homey Pro?

    No, but thanks for bringing it to my attention. Very complete platform, but it should be for $399 starting price for the Pro version ($199 for the Pro "mini" that strips out Z-wave and a few other items, so a nonstarter for me). I think I'll stick with my now ancient C5 gen Hubitat.

    BI v6.0.2.7 built-in AI not confirming small moving objects

    But even more importantly, change the timing between each one further apart, as I indicated above.

    6.0.3.1 - Broke my webserver

    Has anyone tried today's 6.0.3.2 to see if any (most?) of the problems/concerns have been addressed?

    BI v6.0.2.7 built-in AI not confirming small moving objects

    I would say that your settings are tuned to fast moving objects (vehicles), not people or animals. Try changing them to 3 pre-trigger and 10-15 post trigger images spaced apart at 750ms or 1 second each.

    6.0.3.1 - Broke my webserver

    Please elaborate: how many things will likely be broken by this? Pushover notifications as well? Can I presume you have sent off a support request to Ken?

    How Many Cameras Do You Actively Manage?

    The problem with this poll is that it will automatically and inevitably skew towards the higher counts: those with modest numbers will tend not participate at all (fear of being mocked as a n00b, nothing worth bragging about, etc...). It won't really represent a random sample of this forum...

    Internal AI vs CPAI performance

    The "AI Inspection" tab (same set of tabs that include the running log, camera stats, CPU and RAM usage, etc...) has a set of stats in the lower left corner with (overall average) analysis time and total number of analyses since BI was last restarted (or a manual Reset has been done in this tab...

    Periodic Scan

    OK, I guess it depends on whether the above scenario happened frequently, or was a one-off false alert. I have very occasionally had these sort of fluke detections, but can dismiss them as long as they aren't a constant daily problem. Otherwise it is normally covered already by the AI zone...

    Periodic Scan

    Happy to hear that a fix has been released, but it still begs the question: what is this for, and what exactly does it change? How can we make use of this new feature?

    Periodic Scan

    I tried this version for a few hours yesterday and wound up reverting, as I was getting Pushover alerts for zones that I wouldn't normally. Honestly, it is getting to the point where there are way too many places where we have "zone controls" and it is becoming difficult to follow all the...

    BI 6.0.2.7 - very odd alert behavior

    I fully agree: a reboot shouldn't have been necessary (for all the reasons you mentioned), and yet...somehow...I had different results entirely after a reboot.

    BI 6.0.2.7 - very odd alert behavior

    Oddly, I reinstalled 6.0.2.7 today, but this time I did an immediate reboot following the installation and all seems normal this time around. One-off fluke on Friday I suppose.
