I have probably bit off more than I can chew with this project.

What is hard (or time consuming) about this?​

• Generating the testing/training data set. I ended up using a VLM to do the initial labelling, with manual overrides possible
• As I'm trying to run this with limited resources on a (RPI 4 with 4GB RAM) that means starting the ML models from scratch.
• Trying to leave something that is generalizable enough for other cameras in the house - or just give up and pay the $20/mo for Frigate/Scrypted Cloud.

New Things​

• PyTorch -> ONNX -> TFLite -> Latest

With Scrypted / Thingino up and stable, the next goal is to replace my janky garage door sensor with a camera-based sensor. With some luck, I can extend this to every camera in the house cheaper and more accurately than Frigate, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

1. What I have:

   • Wyze Cam v3
   • Scrypted
   • Thingino
   • HomeKit
   • RPI 4 that isn't melting

2. What I need:

   • A way to detect when the garage door is open or closed
   • A way to update MQTT with the state of the garage door
   • A way to update MQTT with the state of the car

So far: I've vibe coded up a script to use OVNIF Snapshot protocol to take a snapshot of the camera every 60 seconds.
