Home Assistant AI Camera - SenseCraft_Rick - CodeCraft Hub
This project aims to connect reCamera to Home Asistant, making it a part of the smart home. You can see the number of people detected by reCamera in Home Assistant
Documentation
This application is designed to achieve deep integration between the reCamera series smart cameras and the Home Assistant open-source smart home ecosystem . We transform Edge AI visual detection capabilities into standard IoT signals, breaking the limitations of traditional monitoring that "only sees but doesn't act." By utilizing Webhook technology to push visual analysis results to Home Assistant in real-time, this solution equips your smart home system with eyes that can "understand" the environment, enabling unified, automated device management. Application Scenarios Visual AI-Driven Smart Living Smart Automation: Automatically triggers lights, curtains, or HVAC systems based on reCamera's human detection, converting visual data into seamless home control. Local Security: Instantly activates alarms via Webhook when intrusions are detected. All logic runs locally, ensuring rapid response and strict privacy. Occupancy Analytics: Provides real-time people counting on Home Assistant dashboards to help analyze space usage and optimize energy efficiency. Core Technologies & Advantages Edge AI Efficiency: Powered by SenseCraft, all visual analysis happens on the device. It outputs lightweight structured data instead of heavy video streams, ensuring system stability. Privacy & Local Processing: Deployed via Docker, the system operates entirely within your LAN. No video or biometric data is uploaded to the cloud, eliminating leakage risks. Unified Compatibility: Connects via standard Webhooks, allowing reCamera to interact with thousands of Zigbee, Z-Wave, and WiFi devices across different brands. Hardware & Software Preparation Hardware Carrier: reCamera (AI Camera) Software Platform: SenseCraft: Used for application and model distribution. Home Assistant: Deployed via Docker containerization, supporting automation logic orchestration. Deployment You can build your own visual AI smart home system by following the Wiki guide below.
