I'm not sure, I had a quick look around and at some manuals but didn't find any useful info, sorry.

Thanks, I've not had to do this myself, the modbus climate devices allow for setting temps which was all I needed. I think what you want is probably to setup a sensor that reads the the value and an automation that writes the value with "action: modbus.write_register". You could create number helper and have that populated when the sensor value changes and an automation that writes the value when you change it in the UI.

That's brilliant news, I'll give that a try many thanks!

0.14.0 RC1 Added the "Play Alert Videos" option in the setting page which allows you to show static images for the alerts, works great and solves my complaint about the motion being distracting while keeping the notification of a recent alert.

Thanks, I have a mix of cameras, most recently I've been buying Annke C500s and have couple c800s, they do a reasonable job at a reasonable price.

Thanks, I'll let you know if I have any project where a Waveshare product would be useful.

Yes they did, I think the argument was that it's not really a good tool for making a time-lapse and not many people were using it. I think it's a fairly simple job to use ffmpeg to convert an export into a time-lapse, but an annoying extra step if the previous export worked for you.

Thanks for watching and subscribing, every sub means a lot when your trying to grow a small channel, much appreciated. Surprisingly my wife's initial reaction was not positive, needed to explain how alerts and detections now get marked as reviewed when watched and disappear unless you toggle "Show Reviewed", but I think she likes it now, I know I certainly love it, 100% worth the upgrade. I don't think you'll be disappointed with the new masks / zone editor, mostly looks the same but just works as it should.

Thanks, Mum fox decided under the derelict shed in my garden was a good place to have her cubs, so we ended up with 6 fox cubs roaming the garden since the spring, they used to be very cute but now they're more of a menace, crapping on things and bringing litter into the garden. Fortunately they've mostly moved on now. I'm not missing the muddy fox prints all over the car 😀

@@RodMcBain Crazy. I have foxes around my place, but they disappear immideately whatever happens, never seen something like your foxes before. However, glad you got your property back ;)

@@SparketDog I think it's because they're cubs, they seem to be born fearless.

Thanks, not sure what you're asking about the birdseye URL, it's still available to re-stream docs.frigate.video/configuration/restream/#birdseye-restreaml and can be added to the new camera group dashboards like any other camera. For me the new UI is so good I now have no use for the birdseye feed.

The safest option is to shutdown the multiplus then press the round red power button on the master battery to switch them all off, then switch off the power rocker switch on all batteries, disconnect the link port cables. Then you can power on a single battery and update one at a time.

@@RodMcBain Thank you so much for this.

I think the storage page has given you the impression I have more storage than I actually have 😀 So I do use the machine that's running Frigate as a NAS but I don't use that to store recordings, in addition to the NAS I have a single 4TB drive amzn.to/3YFlXto that stores recordings, I then copy saved / exported video to the NAS. I'm not that worried about loosing recording if that single drive fails. The storage page is showing 2.76 TiB / 3.58 TiB ( the 4 TB drive ) being used, then each camera shows what percentage of the 2.76 TiB is used by that camera. I have 4 ANNKE C500s, they're a reasonable compromise between price and quality, great during the day and acceptable (to me at least) at night.

Yes it's great, I find myself using the mouse wheel zoom in / out all the time.

Thanks, those corners were seriously lazy, I was aware I should cut at 45, but figured it would make little difference to supporting the EWI, I didn't consider the mice 🤦‍♂️ I'll stick some steel mesh under there to keep them out.

@@RodMcBain would you also consider insulating to ground level? Thermal modeling and thermal cameras show that it makes a significant difference and reduces thermal bridging. You can useexpanding foam to seal between the plynth and EWI you’ve already installed. Fair play, you did a great job overall, It's not an easy system to DIY because there's a lot of details that can be overlooked. There are other details you could have done to improve the installation but that's gold standard level and takes more time

Until you mentioned it I've somehow never come across scrypted, I guess I just never had a need for it. I use a USB coral and have had no issues so far with any of the beta or RC releases, also have no experience of proxmox, can't help there, sorry.

Always great to hear it's helping, thanks.

I'm only showing what worked, not the hours of trial and error that went into getting to that point. Hope the video helps and saves you some time.

Sorry for the delay getting back to you, just uploaded this rodmcbain.com/victron-system/ hope that's of some use.

Thanks, I didn't tie the DPM into the slate damp course, it's not something I've seen done and I wasn't concerned about it until you mentioned it 😀 It's the sort of thing that sounds sensible but in practice is almost impossible to do reliably and is likely to make no difference. But I'm just a DIYer and probably don't know what I'm talking about...

From what I've read on the discussion around 0.14.0 the new settings screen is just a start, It will be improved and expanded in future releases. So you never know, adding cameras from the UI might come soon.

WOW scrypted seems way way better :)

Frigate is meant to be run side by side with a home assistant instance. The "Home Assistant" in the app store would be the frigate app in this case.

The new UI is a progressive web app (PWA), really just a fancy way to say it's very responsive and designed to work well on different devices. The mobile version is very usable and in some ways better than the desktop version, things like scrolling further in the timeline speeds up the scroll. I use it on my phone all the time and have never felt like I needed a dedicated native app.

@@youdontneedmyrealname thanks for your comment, great, so I would find some card or lovelace page example and try it out.

@@RodMcBain thanks, I'll try to install and test the webpage.

check viewu. Just released

I find it hard trying to help debug modbus issues in YT comments even when using the same LG heat pump where I have some experience, there's so much that can go wrong. I hope you get it working!

I don't think you'll be disappointed, thanks for watching and the comment.

Yes, they've been working well for me, very happy with them. Not noticed an issue with the auto set force settings yet but thanks for the pointer.

Maybe I've just been unlucky and they will work OK for you 🤞

Did you ever get this working? Have you setup MQTT in HA ( docs.frigate.video/integrations/home-assistant ), check what's configured in the MQTT section of your Frigate config.yml

@@RodMcBain Yep I finally got it working. I created a user in home Assistant and named it MQTT and used homeassistant.local as the host. And got it to work I just couldn't understand how to know for sure if it was working or not. I've read that you can go to debug (I think that's right at least) and see the communications.

im running on HAos as an add on

Really hard to debug these things on YT comments, I run frigate using docker on it's own machine, so probably not well placed to help you. The logs that Frigate generates are usually the first place to look when something is not working. If the error doesn't help googling it will usually point you in the right direction. Best place to get specific help is probably: github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/discussions/categories/question

@@RodMcBain How difficult does it to learn how to run docker versus home assistant OS. ? I thought about going that route but it seems more involved as far as installing hardware. I don't know if I'm right or not but aren't there requirements for like drivers for the Coral TPU? I would like to learn docker containers eventually. I know this is way overkill but I ended up installing home assistant OS on my MS-01 minisforum mini PC 😂 So far overkill it's not even funny. But I needed a machine that had multiple m.2 slots. And my old HP G3 mini only had one m.2 My goal was to use the dual edge TPU that I have over the USB version. I've got more than six cameras and plan to add more detections work great It detects my cats people carves birds although it does mistake my cats for birds sometimes 😆 are you aware of a way to tune that detection so it doesn't pick up my cat as a bird. Or Maybe just point me in the direction to where I should look to learn how to do that?

The machine I'm running it on is maybe not the best example, it's my old desktop with a Intel i5-4670 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 32GB Ram and a GeForce GTX 750 Ti graphics card. I offload the encoding / decoding to the GPU and use a USB Google Coral. The GPU and the Coral do most of the work and I'd say the Coral is essential. I also use this machine as a NAS, if it wasn't for that I'd maybe downgrade to something more efficient.

I didn't need to make any manual changes, but the upgrade rewrites the coordinates for your masks and zones and you loose access to all your existing events from the frigate UI.

I run it in Docker on Ubuntu, Frigate recommends Docker on any Debian based distribution.

@@RodMcBain and what hardware are you using, I have it running in docker debian, with an I7 cpu 16 gig ram and 9 cams running 720p and 12fps, it still struggles using all the ram and swap file, I have to reduce the settings to run ok but I want the 4k quality.

There's a diagram in the video here ua-cam.com/video/qj07v10E4XA/v-deo.html that shows the RJ45 connection for the adaptor I used amzn.to/3YY0skB Your comment doesn't specifically mention a RS232 to USB converter, you can't just connect RJ45 to a USB connection you need a converter that changes the USB signal inso a RS232 signal, it's the pinout of the converter that you need to pay attention to.

Thanks for taking the time to comment, really appreciate hearing the videos have been useful. I'm not super happy with the cameras I have so not sure I'd recommend any of them, I have some older generic dome cameras, a Realonk RLC-511W 5x zoom camera and more recently I've been buying Annke cameras, most of them are re badged Hikvision cameras, I have 2 C800 (1 dome and 1 bullet) and a couple of C500 bullet cameras. Frigate recommends Dahua, Hikvision, and Amcrest, in the UK Hikvision seems to be the only one of those that's easy to source and Annke is even easier to get and slightly cheeper.

Hi, With Pylontech batteries no shunt is required, the batteries have their own BMS that reports all the required data to the Cerbo GX. I am grid connected with a 100A single phase supply, I'm not aware of any sensible reason why you couldn't have more than 2 5kva inverters. Maybe the 50A transfer switch confuses some people. You do need to complete the G99 process to get permission from your DNO. Unfortunately I'm crazy busy and don't really have the bandwidth to help 1on1, I hope you understand.

@@RodMcBain Hi no problem, on the 1 2 1. FYI I have my G99 approved. I'm at the end of building my new garage with 16 x 430w panels installed (adding more on ground mounts later), doors and window getting fitted next week. Then I can start the install the 2 x Victron 5kva Multiplus's and 2 x 450v 100A MPPT's I also 2 x 14 kWh Seplos batteries. I jumped on the offer before xmas buy two mulitplus's and get one free from Victron that's why I was asking for the chat. You don't see very often 3 mulitplus's in parallel. Thanks again, Alan

Wind is definitely a concern, but I think the gates location shield it from the worst of any direct wind. It was also one of the reasons for the lock, to reduce any force placed on the arms by wind when closed. I can't say for sure but I don't think any of my problems with the faulty Topens arm are wind related, seem to be some combination of the crappy limit switches and the controller getting confused. Mechanically the arm seems fine, when the controller chooses to open / close, it works OK.

I know, it's ridiculous, I don't think there's been a completely sunny day since I installed the panels and when there has been sun it's mostly been in the morning when my panels are shaded 😢

@@RodMcBain because of the panels you have I think it’s 15amps or more? If so you would need Tigo Mk2 ones but if all are shaded then no point

Technically yes, I have solar panels and batteries for my whole house, but no they are not directly solar powered, they take a normal 230v mains supply. I guess that's a potential advantage the Topens openers had, they came with a separate power supply that you could directly attach a battery and solar panels to.

I don't have an LV hub so not sure, a quick look at the manual suggests the pinout is the same so cable should work as described in the video. Hopefully someone with a hub can provide you with more help.

Thanks for watching, they are configured in parallel, couple of reasons, the 70amp charge limit from each inverter is about how much is required to fully charge 4 US3000C batteries in the off peak window I get from my electricity supplier, so with 12 batteries I need 3 inverters, that's important in winter when I won't get anywhere near enough solar. Second reason is to have the ability to run off grid, I have no plans to go off grid but do run the whole house through the inverters and batteries, so if the grid goes down nothing stops working. We also have a 16kW heat pump, combined with an induction hob, washing machine etc you could easily get close to exceeding 12kW.

Thanks, If you can'd find anything on Google I'm afraid i'm not sure where else you can find those service manuals.

I read your comment and thought no, the instructions for the k5 defiantly had fixings in pre cut holes. But looking again you are 100% correct, I must have just maid an assumption, thanks for pointing that out, will make it easier if I need to do it again and explains why I destroyed the hole cutter.

I'm sorry there are so many variables it's really hard to pin point what the problem could be, I have offered some debugging advice in other comments that might be worth looking at.

No rule that I'm aware of, drywall just doesn't seem to be as common over here, not really sure why. I'd also be reluctant to strap wood onto this wall to screw the boards to, adhesive is a lot more forgiving on an uneven wall.

Hi Matt, thanks for the comment, lots of useful info in there, this solar install is definitely just the start, as I mentioned in the video I have 9 more 420w panels to install and also plan to cover as much of my house roof as is practical. I think using 3 smaller MPPTs might have helped a little with this roof, but I expect the impact would have been minimal, the roof goes from fully shaded to not shaded at all in the space of an hour. I might try experimenting with this at some point to see what difference it makes.
