homebridge-raspbian-image VS scrypted

Following this guide on the repo, I am running into this warning: [deCONZ] warning: not a deCONZ gateway

For anyone new to this game: Homebridge is far better and far easier than HOOBS to maintain over the long haul, regardless of HOOBS marketing insisting otherwise. And don't just trust me on this, ask any popular plugin developer.

I just image it with rasberry pi imager using the homebridge instructions - https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-raspbian-image/wiki/Getting-Started.

It has RTL8152B. The doc for raspian HB image here https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-raspbian-image/wiki/Supported-Raspberry-Pi-Models

Which is different from Ring's Doorbell, but the fact still remains, Ring doesn't have a smart watch app, nor is it natively HomeKit compatible. However if you set up Homebridge for it, you can make it so.

The same Raspberry Pi that Homebridge is on, I'd imagine. It's included as an extra package in the official installer image: https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-raspbian-image/wiki/How-To-Install-AdGuard-Home

As for the original issue - you may have downloaded a corrupt image - if you really want to use their image (rather than build the OS then install) download it from here but check the sha256 of the downloaded file before using Etcher. I use QuickHash on my Mac but other programs exist for all platforms.

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.
