scrypted VS CasaOS

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.

CasaOS - Settings -> Edit the docker-compose.yml

I am looking for a home OS with the best ratio of low-maintenance/features. I have found CasaOS but never heard of it before and I'm not sure if there are better alternatives.

casaos it just makes things like backups, offsite syncing and many other nas related things so much easier to manage. And gives you a proper nas like experience similar to that in which you'd fine on companies like tnas or synology. I actually also use it as a replacement for portainer when i don't need the more advanced features it offers

Also for some it might be very important to know, Umbrel is not "open-source", it is "source available". Meaning the sourcecode is there publicly, but the license prevents you from doing much with it. So some wannabe-wizards are running around here and being all like "uhm well actually, this isnt opensource". CasaOS is also "open- source".

I recommend first: Ubuntu server. Second, CasaOS, a Linux based OS with an easy to use UI and a few other handy features. I think it's a good gateway option.
