I was watching a demo someone made of using the Kinect in a home automation scenario.
Since this can be run on a Linux setup I figured this would be an awesome room scale tracking setup. Determine where people are, how many people are there, and possibly who is there.
Hopefully you creative minds can come up with a solution to implement this.
The Kinect goes for as cheap as $15-$25 these days.
That’s actually some cool stuff there. Kinect is awesome for detecting presence, including in night time. +1 for implementing support in Home Assistant.
