@TechJB65 2 года назад

Nice video Shane. I use HOOBS, but chose to go the Rasperry PI route. Mainly because I already had the PI just laying around doing nothing so that saved quite a few $$$. I use HOOBS to integrate my Ring security system. Great thing I find, and I'm sure it's this way with a lot of other plugins, is that if I add a new sensor or device to Ring, I restart the HOOBS service and its in homekit. There are a few devices that I wish someone would develop a plugin for though but there are a lot of plugins to choose from and I do recommend looking through the plugins page that you linked to just to make sure that what you are wanting to bring over to homekit has one. Be blessed!!

@retiredslo 2 года назад

Wow, so easy to set up the new bridge on version 4. Appreciate you.

Just picked up a Raspberry Pi 4b yesterday and downloaded the Hoobs image to run on it. So far so good. A few glitches that would make the regular persons head explode but I'm getting there. Looking forward to picking up som more kit.

@MrARRMP 2 года назад

This was useful! I’m avoiding non-HomeKit gear as much as I can but when it comes to doorbells this just feels necessary. Closer to trying it :)

@zr00t 2 года назад

I have a Logitech doorbell that does Homekit secure video out of the box. I won't say it's flawless, but it worked out of the box and all I did was remove my existing door bell button on my front door and re-used the wiring. I even have it using my old (20+ years) doorbell chime that came with the house and it not only notifies me on my phone, but the chime rings.

@ShaneCreates 2 года назад

Yea, there aren’t may options for native HK doorbells. I do really love the Logitech Circle View doorbell also, but unfortunately it’s not ideal for many people. If you are lucky (like me) and don’t have ANY direct sunlight at the doorbell location, you’ll probably be fine. Otherwise you do run a good chance of it overheating if you get any direct sunlight throughout the day. HOOBS gives some alternatives for HomeKit when otherwise there aren’t any.

@MrARRMP 2 года назад

@@ShaneCreates I’m really not sure about what to do. This got me thinking about HOOBS again but then I could get an aqara button and use it as a doorbell (since the front door is close to the router/hub) with an indoor eufy camera and the whole thing would cost around 50 bucks with HKSV included. It sounds weird but it should actually work quite well. I have a covered outdoor area and would spray some flex seal on the camera to “make it outdoor-proof”. Got the idea from Reddit ahah. Do you think it’s feasible? It just annoys me that there aren’t wired HomeKit cameras by eufy

Very good video 😁 I have a couple questions though about hoobs: - Have you encountered any issues with hoobs 5 months later? (I am watching the video a couple months later) -issues may include devices being unresponsive or not showing up in the Apple home app etc. - do you need Apple TV to cast the cams on your tv? I would be very interested in watching a 6 months later review where you talk about all the positives and negatives you have of all your smart devices such as hoobs, HomeKit, doorbell camera etc 😁

@kyad9 2 года назад

I just setup my HOOBS hub on a raspberry Pi 4 last week! I love the myQ plug in which brings HomeKit functionality to my garage door. I also installed the eufy security plug in for my doorbell but it seems to be kind of buggy hoping that gets better. All in all a fun project to get it set up though!

I just installed a Starling Hub for Nest and it picks up nest cameras at my other home.

Thanks Lisa. HomeKit Secure Video is the feature that allows for recording clips in iCloud. Currently, this will not support HomeKit Secure Video recording. Essentially, you’ll only get live streaming and notifications through HomeKit, no recording. Recording can still be done through Nest or Ring services if you wish.

Hey Mike. No you can't add homepods to a soundbar currently. I've reviewed a number of cameras and there are a bunch of good options, just depending on what features are most important to you. I like the Circle View cameras, Aqara cameras, Eve Cam, and some of the Eufy Cams all for different things.

@gilley6730 2 года назад

Shane, you have the best videos. Thanks so much for walkthrough. Is the Roomba one hard to add? I tried it and it worked for about a week and never again so not sure what I did wrong.

@ShaneCreates 2 года назад

It’s a little tricky, just because you have to get the Roomba password and number… but if you’ve had it working it sounds like you’ve already done that. If it stopped working, it could possibly be your Roomba’s IP address. If you haven’t set a static IP address for the Roomba, it may have changed and caused the plugin to break. I had that issue before. Setting the IP address static so it never changes should solve that problem.

No package detection notifications in HomeKit. That requires HomeKit Secure Video, which this doesn’t currently support. However you can still get package notifications from the Nest App. And there is that package detection sensor that the plugin gives you in HomeKit, meaning you can create automations with it. Lastly, YES, you still get the pop-up notifications on the Apple TV, as well as chimes on the HomePod, just as with any HomeKit doorbell.

Considering a Ring alarm and also wall mounting an iPad in a few spots - seems like it would be easy for an intruder to just press disarm on the iPad - is there a way to set it to prompt for a code or another way to protect that risk?

@ShaneCreates 2 года назад

There is not way to do that in HomeKit. Of course, you can require a PIN on the iPad but that probably defeats the purpose of a wall mounted iPad. I like using VIZ designer to build custom interfaces for my iPads. With this, you can certainly create a prompt requiring a code to turn off the security system.
