teslausb VS homebridge-raspbian-image

On the TeslaUSB page, it lists the following Raspberry Pi's as options:

Main difference between the two scenarios, however, is that the 3 was left in a parking garage, while the Y was left in an open field. With the 3 in a parking garage, I don't think the vehicle went over 100 degrees, while the Y, being left in an open field, would sometimes hit about 150 degrees. Because the temperatures were more reasonable in the parking garage, I also left my Raspberry Pi running TeslaUSB in the car, where as with the Y being left in an open field and being subject to extreme thermal temperatures, I opted to use a regular USB thumb drive there.

I've found that using something like TeslaUSB reduces the "blip" quite a bit.

This has had issues since the newer 2021 Intel-based model 3s (and I presume others). https://github.com/marcone/teslausb/issues/564

If you have a Raspberry Pi 0 or 4 you can do a TeslaUSB which let's yoy access the footage over a WiFi gotspot on the thing and a better WebUI.

If you've driven more than an hour since the incident, the footage will be gone (unless you're using TeslaUSB, but I'm guessing not)

I use this for my Teslas Dashcam (it was built for it), but it also has a feature to rsync music files from a network share every time it connects to the network. Sounds like it would cover what you want, and it supports RPI Zero Ws natively.

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.
