  • scrypted

    Scrypted is a high performance home video integration and automation platform

    • 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.

  • firmware

    Alternative IP Camera firmware from an open community (by OpenIPC)

    • https://github.com/OpenIPC/firmware

    You can get onvif-compliant firmware for some of those, but battery-powered operation cannot be expected to remain practical, given what onvif focuses on.

  • homebridge-gsh

    Allow Google Assistant to control your Homebridge accessories.

    • 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.)

  • matter.js

    A complete typescript implementation of the Matter protocol specification (https://buildwithmatter.com). Includes full support for controller, device, commissioning, secure communications, device types, and cluster definitions.

    • If you can do Typescript, matter.js makes it trivial to at least create a virtual matter device. Five minutes to clone the repo, build, run and pair with Google, Apple, Alexa, SmartThings, etc. The one caveat is certification. With Google you need to register as a developer so it allows an uncertified device. The others just give a warning.
