Object Detection in Home Assistant
I'll try to briefly describe what I'm trying to accomplish. Maybe I've misunderstood what Scrypted can do in Home Assistant:
I used to rely on my Reolink cameras' built in recognition for people and animals to alert me and to act as a trigger for various automations in Home Assistant. The reolink integration for Home Assistant exposes various entities/sensors to this effect. I now want to use Scrypted and its AI detection to improve the accuracy/sensitivity, since the native Reolink detection was missing quite a few events when they're happening in the background (a bit further from the camera). So I added my cameras to Scrypted. I added the Scrypted integration to HA. I "linked" HA to Scrypted with the peristent access token. I created a "Smart Motion Sensor" in the Video Analysis Plugin. However, I can't get this sensor to show up in HA. Maybe my expectations are off, but I thought this is how I would use Scrypted as a trigger in HA. I read some people use MQTT to push the signal to HA, but this seems like a convoluted way of doing things? Is this the only way, or is that info outdated?
