I’ve been running hass.io for 5 years in rentals so all of my gear has had to be pretty portable, but I finally bought a house so I can go as nuts as I’ve always wanted to, but need some recommendations and thoughts.

I’ve got a ton of esphome gear- homemade sensors and cameras, flashed sonoff plugs, and pre-flashed kauf bulbs.

I’m looking for recommendations on exterior PoE cameras, and something that straps onto my electric panel so I can see power consumption on all the legs.

    I just had several Reolink cameras installed as well and like them a lot. I plan on spinning up a Frigate instance soon but read somewhere that Reolink cams don’t work great for that. Will see how what goes soon.

      I’m running the go2rtc addon to create a camera dashboard in home assistant. I basically use onboard SD card storage for my recordings and don’t have a need for a full blown NVR. The cameras have motion triggers within home assistant so I can trigger automations if I want with that.
