@GreatAlbatross @Heavybell the person detection is very nice.
I have HA play a gentle tune in basement stairwell when that detection fires. It allowing us to detect the delivery guys who don't bother pressing the doorbell, and thus avoid the risk of pkgs sitting in view of passers-by all day.
@keyez @OminousOrange I've got the reolink doorbell cam too, but just block the WAN at the router, and unblock when I'm out of town, which is pretty rare these days. Seems to function pretty well that way.
@SwingingTheLamp @RobotToaster yes. All this
@RobotToaster @GreatAlbatross oh man, X10 was such junk. Terrible reliability, expensive, clunky. Always awkward as the units plugged into receptacles with little positioning flexibility, and a restrictive ecosystem with inflexible players tying it up in patents for so long. A couple of hundred bucks I blew there was totally wasted …about 20yrs.
@SharkAttak @Dehydrated way to ensure all internet searches on your brand deliver a "not compatible with stuff" impression to all prospective customers.
@homeassistant
AHA - found this link which describes several ha commands, and the one:
ha core restart
looked promising – and turns out that works nicely in the SSH shell.
@JSCybersec @homeassistant I think that will reboot the Raspberry Pi, no?

Hey @homeassistant #HomeAssistant people, sometimes editing my config yaml file and need to reload it over an over again as one does.
It takes navigation to settings and five or six mouse clicks to restart HA each time (reload yaml doesn't seem to reload config items) so I'd like to have a command line capability to do that.
Tried "ha restart" but that doesn't seem to be a thing.
Is there an HA command for that, or is the web UI the only way to do it?

@LabPlot @science @dataisbeautiful @health seems like a classic graphic for illustrating the wrong variables being compared. To stick a trend line in the there should result in a loss of coffee room privileges for a week.
