Week 11, 2024

This week I spent a lot of time finally setting up Home Assistant and Frigate NVR on my home Proxmox server. Home Assistant can monitor, manage and control almost every piece of 'smart' home equipment and create automations based on events. Frigate is a smart CCTV system can identify objects captured on your cameras, which then plugs into Home Assistant.
