    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.

    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...

    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...

    I'm working on this right now. I've fixed a bunch of other stuff but the db schema is such a pain in the ass. It has something to do with the setup running out of order. Normally I would just image the working db, but it's difficult for a self hosted app where you need to allow people to update...

    Honestly still pretty impressive that it can do that, but it's really the video analysis that makes things so much easier. Otherwise you sort of have to work something out manually to have it check multiple frames and reason across all of them. The reason I'm so interested in N8n is that you...

    The object detection + ALPR setup is very solid, but thanks to the billions of dollars happily flying out of big tech to keep the big gen AI party going, we realistically could have what feels like DIY China. I know there are a handful of clever forum users running interesting custom models...

    Apologies for the absence guys. I’ve been preoccupied with a slew of other stuff, both work and life. I’ve tried to resolve the installation issue a few different times, but I haven’t been able to reproduce it myself. If anyone knows what’s actually wrong with the db files, please PR. Hoping...

    Tailscale is easy to use which is nice. I'd look for a youtube tutorial. Wireguard is comparatively way more involved and less intuitive to set up, but is faster. If you have a Unifi network, ignore all of those options and use the wifiman app from unifi. It has a feature that they call...

    I'm not suggesting that it's good to expose blue iris, but I would like to share that I have done some penetration testing on UI3, and it does seem to be pretty alright in terms of security against common attacks.

    I've also only ever done it once before. Niche use case and not that well known. This is a networking question and not something that the app could circumvent. You still need to be able to connect to your docker machine, regardless of how you are accessing it. Same as the Blue Iris app. For...

    Same url you use to connect from anything else. IP address of your docker machine with the port as 3000. I realize now that my images may be slightly confusing because of the "alpr.database". That is a local DNS record that I created for my container. Yours will probably be something like...
