… up a completely new instance, with a new Apple Home (so would recommend this to anyone having unexplained issues). I am now getting HKSV from 4 of my 6 cameras, (2 of those 4 are battery but are permanently plugged in). Not completely sure they are capturing all motion, but for sure it's much better than in the past. The 2 cameras that are not capturing any HKSV are "Spotlight Cam Battery", but are permanently plugged in being charged. HKSV is not disabled for battery cameras in the config. Will run it for a week or so and see how it goes. Awesome plug in though - thank you for your efforts!!

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
