Hi All,
I have configure this number plate recognition , However it;s not working for me as expected . I must be missing something.
After initial config , I did ran a trail and it worked.
After the initial config the status of the of the image processor is unknown
Once the number plate detected on my drive way its became 1 and the number plate sensor became True from state False.
Problem 1- Every reboot of HA make the image processor status unknown. At some point after the reboot now its not changing the state from unknown. While checking the https://platerecognizer.com/
I found that for every instance the number plate scan happened and state was true. Even the Image processor is not updating the API Calls count . It getting the updated if I reboot the HA.Its also not storing the snapshot (PIC) which was uploaded to the API during the image scan.
Problem 2 - Once the number plate sensor state change from True from False my automation triggers . However the sensor state are not getting back to false . How can I get it reset automatically after a certain time such as , if the state change from False to True then remain true for 30sec or 2 min then became False . so that next time when the image scan happen it may change to true bases on the number plate.
my configuration are as below :
#Number Plate Recognizer
image_processing:
- platform: platerecognizer
api_token: !secret plate_recognizer_token
regions:
- au #replace with your region
watched_plates:
#- !secret number_plate
- ABCD
- EFGH
save_file_folder: /config/www/plate_recognizer #replace with your location if you have a different one
save_timestamped_file: true
always_save_latest_file: true
source:
- entity_id: camera.driveway_cam_main #replace entity id
I have defined the api_token in the secret.yaml
plate_recognizer_token: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sensors :
- platform: template
sensors:
plate_recognizer:
friendly_name: "ABCD"
value_template: "{{ state_attr('image_processing.platerecognizer_driveway_cam_main', 'watched_plates').ABCD }}"
plate_recognizer_1:
friendly_name: "EFGH"
value_template: "{{ state_attr('image_processing.platerecognizer_driveway_cam_main', 'watched_plates').EFGH }}"
My automation-1 looks like this : - it will trigger once there is a vechile motion detected on my drive way.
