homebridge-gsh VS scrypted

You don’t need to use HomeKit for this to work, but you will need https://github.com/oznu/homebridge-gsh. (Caveat: I haven’t tried this myself since I use HomeKit and Alexa devices.)

I have no idea about the Google Home Mini, but I managed to add my Nest Mini to HomeKit using the Enomek. You can try it as it simplifies the whole homebridge process. Also, Look for the homebridge-gsh plugin on github.

Since you’re a homebridge user, check out https://github.com/oznu/homebridge-gsh then you can set up google home on her pixel. Most smart home stuff already works with google home

I currently use homebridge-gsh as a way to have my Google Home speakers control my devices strictly through Homebridge. Is there a similar plugin that I could use the same way with HA where commands from Google Home interact with HA vs with each device's own cloud provider?

Maybe homebridge with this plugin? https://github.com/oznu/homebridge-gsh

Try this to add all the homekit devices in google home.

Sorry I thought I answered you, but I guess it never went through... but instead of the Alexa plugin, for Google Home you can use this plugin that does the same thing. I have tested this as well.

Answering myself once again.. I found the gsh (Google Smart Home) plugin for homebridge. Unfortunately, it requires running HB without authentication: https://github.com/oznu/homebridge-gsh

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.
