HAP-NodeJS VS scrypted

Doing a bit of digging, I found the Charaacteristic definition in https://github.com/homebridge/HAP-NodeJS/blob/master/src/lib/definitions/CharacteristicDefinitions.ts. I'm still a bit new to Typescript... what would the best way / place for me to modify this Characteristic? Do I need to just make this change here and basically run a custom version of Homebridge?

Well, the API only provides m3 values, and the plugin you suggested is only displaying 2 decimals instead of 3 in homekit (most likely a homekit limitation; since in homebridge 3 [and even 4] decimals are listed, and the accuracy of the sensor seems to be 0.0001 - as listed on https://github.com/homebridge/HAP-NodeJS/blob/master/src/lib/definitions/CharacteristicDefinitions.ts )

Or more specifically https://github.com/homebridge/HAP-NodeJS/issues/993

HAP-NodeJS Pull: HomeKit Secure Video #920

My goto place regarding this is the HAP-NodeJS repository

They're related in that u/koushd contributed https://github.com/homebridge/HAP-NodeJS/pull/904 to Homebridge, which was completed and merged with many of their commits in https://github.com/homebridge/HAP-NodeJS/pull/920.

Yeah this appears to be the relevant discussion on it: https://github.com/homebridge/HAP-NodeJS/pull/918 I guess Raspbian does not ship with avahi by default.

I looked at libraries like HAP-NodeJS or HAP-python, but those seems focused on:

lazyweb: https://github.com/koush/scrypted (regrettably the licensing is "it depends" https://github.com/koush/scrypted/blob/v0.93.0/LICENSE.md#li... )

and don't overlook that user's other repos, as seems like there are quite a few fun things in there: https://github.com/koush?tab=repositories

I have taken a look at the page for debugging steps for Homekit recording and haven’t played with any setting mentioned there.

Unfortunately the options for HKSV doorbells is fairly limited. The Logitech circle view Doorbell looks like the best candidate but it has a spotty review history, with the biggest complaint being it breaking in direct sunlight.

I’m about to buy some cameras and I’m thinking of just buying Nest and using https://scrypted.app to bridge to HKSV.

In the demo video linked to from the Scrypted Github repo, the author has some kind of a delivery box (visible in the top camera), with a camera inside the box in night vision mode, able to report on whether there’s anything in the box. Does anyone know how this setup was achieved, or have done something similar to combine a camera with a closed delivery box?

You can migrate the scrypted setup with this: https://github.com/koush/scrypted/wiki/Scrypted-Backup-and-Restore

I see two options, both from brands that seem to be well-received on the brand report card.

You might want to try setting them up with Scrypted then use the plugin to get them into Homebridge.
