I started creating an App for home assistant with the goal of it being easy to create a sensor from a camera feed, my use case was my garage door position.
Ive tried other solution but had a hard time getting them to work.
VisionState installs as an app on home assistant, runs locally and on the CPU, so no dedicated GPU/NPU/TPU required. It integrates with home assistant with MQTT and can use home assistant devices as triggers.
Its early in development, but feel free to check it out and come with suggestions/improvements:
I’m pleasantly surprised so far; the detection is very fast, too.
My use case isn’t simple:
I use it to detect the presence of our two parked cars. They are quite different from each other and can be parked in different ways.
The training is working well for the moment, though I still have a few “parking” scenarios to teach it before I can say everything is working perfectly!
