Open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first. Powered by a worldwide community of tinkerers and DIY enthusiasts. Perfect to run on a Raspberry Pi or a local server.
What kind of security cameras are you using?
I'm thinking about buying some but I don't want my videos being uploaded to some third party servers.
Probably gonna use home-assistant so it should work with that.
Unless OP is already in deep with home automation devices or plans to be, I agree keeping it simple this way will keep the overhead/maintenance low and be more reliable.
I'd argue that's the move even if you are planning on doing robust automation - it just means all you have to do is spin up frigate or double-take or whatever and then integrate that with Home Assistant or Node-Red or whatever automation platform you'd like
