I have zero mqtt knowledge. Total noob, I can do BI, pushover, even manages a Kasa light alert with an exe by jdfromdb, but that's it. So I would have to start any home auto from scratch, which is why I suggested that I knew a tutorial for the sprinklers would be unlikely, but worth asking...
this is a big ask, maybe unrealistic, but is there a way to share the system you use to activate the sprinklers, assuming zero knowledge of nodered or any hardware you use? I guess asking for a tutorial, or maybe where to find that info without a whole new skill to learn (yes, asking a lot!) If...
I've tried these Orbit sprinklers and didn't like. They were unreliable sensing daylight, so they nailed me, the gardener, kids, all day, but were only so-so sensing deer, my primary opponent. And you can't use it when it gets cold (frozen water lines).
well, I didn't find the cause, but I deleted the main camera that the others copied the alert settings from, and manually re-added all the settings, and it is now working as expected. That's good, though it bugs me to not figure out what was causing the constant triggers! But all good now.
OK, so now I am having similar issue, where it worked fine previously. .I am getting pushover alert on phone every 2 minutes or so. Same alert, same jpg, just resent over and over. Alert is priority 1, not 2, in the curl setup.
I checked Trigger/immediate actions: blank.
On the alerts tab, for...
Thanks Mike, that explains why, when I updated CPAI, I had only CPU showing on YOLOv5.NET, and then, later, GPU showed up (for intel internal GPU). I was wondering what I did.. now I know:)
thanks, I will make sure to keep that folder size small. Also, I looked at that post, and there is an update mentioning a caveat from Ken about that (post #303 in same thread: Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks
I did just test not saving a jpg to alerts, and pushover is...
I have the option to save a high res jpg turned ON in the "trigger" tab, which saves a jpg in the Alerts folder, because as far as I can tell that's the only way to get Pushover to function properly with BI. I did try to use the similar option to save a jpg from the "RECORD" tab instead, and...
I do recommend Pushover... works great for me. It did take me a bit to get it configured properly. I'll quote a post I made to another thread as it may help you get set up and avoid a couple of nits I stumbled into:
First: when after you sign up and download the app, etc you will need to put...
I have same camera, with default Annke firmware. No logo at all on the config screen (no Annke, no Hikvision, just blank).
My video setup screen in BI looks like this: and works well.
I had two of the Orbit sprinklers... trying to keep deer away. It was very effective in nailing me, the gardener, postman, Fedex, but the deer: not so much. And you can't use it when the freeze starts if in that area. I gave up on them.
Eric, if you do mess with Pushover (and I recommend it, it works great and I'm glad I set it up), there is one thing that drove me a bit crazy setting it up, likely my thick headedness. So I will mention it here, maybe save you or someone else a headbanging.
First: when after you sign up and...
BI and CPAI was working well before v2x , (though the cpu could get going when multiple cameras fired in the rain).
CPAI 2.0x was supposed to allow for using the internal Intel GPU in the systems many of us use for Blue Iris, (among other things), and aside from some growing pains getting it...
I tried BI 5.6.9.4 Still shows a blank in the Custom Folders list in the general settings after the update, but "Restart AI" (Stop and Start) on that tab does get the models to show up there.
All else is working fine for me.
I am seeing similar behavior. 5.6.9.2 seemed ok, and 5.6.9.3 brought back the wonky custom folder display in service mode, and the need to reboot a few times to get everything going again.
Also updated in 5.6.9.2: "use CUDA" in the general settings of BI now is "use GPU" to reflect the need to check that to get CPAI to use GPU in the .NET version.
I think only if you have a separate GPU. I have only the one in the built-in Intel CPU and the .NET version was supposed to enable that.
The CP dashboard no longer says CPU/GPU but Blue Iris is showing CPU:10% GPU 6% RAM 8.06M... so maybe it is still using the gpu?
