Person and face detection using image_processing with Sighthound

enricozocca · January 10, 2021, 10:48pm

Hello Robin, thanks for everything! Now I’m able to detect my car when is on garage. I’ve got a question, how can I read PLATE data from event and display in a card?

Thank for your patiente.
Regards
Enrico

@enricozocca you can use the event to trigger an automation that updates the state of a sensor which displays the plate

Hi Robin. I have the same question like enricozocca. I’m new at home assistant and I’m not able to get your suggestion to work. Can you give me a shot examle how I get the plate information to a sensor entity or something else that i can use it for examle in my node red flowes. Thanks alot.

Hi, this is really cool, thanks for making it.

But how can I create a sensor with the license plate info? Has anyone done this?

robmarkcole · February 11, 2021, 5:27am

I just published a release which lists detected plates as an attribute. Generally I advise to use the events for triggering automations however.

Works perfect. Thank you. I tested the eventsensor integration from the hacs repository (https://github.com/azogue/eventsensor). With this integration it’s also very easy to create a sensor from event state data

Thank you for this. I’ve been trying to do License plate recognition for a long time. I also saw that you made https://github.com/robmarkcole/HASS-plate-recognizer, ill make sure to try both.

HACS is saying this repo is blacklisted. Any ideas?

robmarkcole · February 16, 2021, 5:41pm

Ask the HACS guy please

Well I’m stupid and posted the api key oops.
Anyway this has been working great so far, but I can’t get sighthound_latest.jpg to show in my www folder. This is my config:

image_processing:
  - platform: sighthound
    api_key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    save_file_folder: /config/www/
    save_timestamped_file: False
    always_save_latest_jpg: True
    source:
      - entity_id: camera.garages_camera

JoeDafoe · February 24, 2021, 7:21am

HI, check if your camera entity ist the right on. Check if your save_file_folder path exists. I think the picture is only created when sighthound really recognized something. You can test this with a local camera entity with a snaphot file from f.e. with a car. If sighthound detects something you can also see it in your image_processing.sighthound_vehicle_garage_camera entity under developer tools, states

shanem · February 24, 2021, 6:16pm

Thanks, but actually i realized the files it creates are sighthound_person/vehicle_(camera name)_latest.jpg and now i have everything working.
