pycoral VS noonlight-hass

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble finding a suitable version of PyCoral for macOS Ventura. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any information about PyCoral support for macOS Ventura either. However, one possible solution could be to build and install PyCoral from source on your Mac using Python 3.9.x or downgrade Python to 3.8.x and install PyCoral again. You can find the PyCoral source code on GitHub. Frigate NVR is designed around the expectation that a Coral TPU is used to achieve very low inference speeds. Offloading TensorFlow to the Google Coral is an order of magnitude faster and will reduce your CPU load dramatically.

Frigate NVR is an awesome open source project that not only provides recording capabilities, but also object detection with very good performance utilizing Coral AI's EdgeTPU. It also integrates well with Home Assistant so it opens up the door to do basically whatever you want.

I’ve never heard of Google Coral but it’s really neat. https://coral.ai

I guess because it'll be supported longer? I don't use photos or moments, so there were zero reasons to upgrade. I would lose out of the box ability to use my zwave/zigbee stick and coral.ai stick without workarounds. Plex migration to DSM7 seemed like a pain also (with more drawbacks), but I moved my Plex install to Docker to prevent any future breaking from DSM updates

I checked all the official distributors listed on https://coral.ai/products/accelerator/ and Mouser has ~1300 in stock (https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Coral/G950-01456-01) for MSRP of $59.99. There are some on Amazon marked up to $85.

Google Coral is an offline/private image processor and is pretty amazing. You can read about it here: https://coral.ai/

Have you considered a Google Coral?

'pip3 install https://github.com/google-coral/pycoral/releases/download/release-frogfish/tflite_runtime-2.5.0-cp37-cp37m-linux_armv7l.whl'

The combination of all this is a completely locally controlled security system with the flexibility to do essentially anything I want. Professional monitoring is also possible using the Noonlight Home Assistant integration but I haven't found a need for it yet. I also have a backup ISP setup using a T-Mobile 500mb plan for $5/month that if my primary ISP is down, my mini PC server that runs Home Assistant (which includes my security system) falls back to the backup T-Mobile ISP.

There is an option to get "professional monitoring" through the noonlight-hass custom component for HA. From what I can tell, it just creates a switch in HA that you can automate so when your alarm is triggered, enable the switch which will notify the monitoring center Noonlight uses.
