So easy! This means I can use my reolink camera as a presence detection piece. Thanks sir!

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Indeed! Let me know if your create some awesome scripts :)

[@dodgecrickets7862]

This is serious bro .. thanks for the help 👊🏾

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Hi Dodge :) Thanks for the support!

[@AhmadYusuf85]

Thanks for the great video, is there a way we can enforce the integration to use a TPU (Coral) for the detection ?

[@NvrPs]

Hi just started with home assistant and came across your videos.. they are rl nice and well structured.
I have a question about this project i saw on plate recognition website they have a stream option. is there away to use the stream insted of snapshots on home assistant?

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Do you mean stream a video? Yes you can!

[@TheShortFacts777]

I've setup the same but with only the last condition to check for plates. But it doesn't seem to work
it wont call the service

[@brar5353]

you got a camera recommendation specifically for this mate?

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Reolink, Annke or unifi series are great!

[@janpedersen915]

Nice. is there a way to send license plates to mobile phone? cannot see how to extract the plates from the result.

[@SmartHomeMakers]

You could create a sensor with some templating, are you looking to use this in a notification ?

[@VincentLeBourlot]

here you can get the license plate in the template without hard coding it:
```
{{ (state_attr('image_processing.platerecognizer_camera1', 'watched_plates').keys() | list)[0] }}
```

[@robert.wigley]

This is really useful. Fixes the issue of hardcoding the license plate in the template sensor. Thanks.

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Thanks Vincent ! Great work!

[@robert.wigley]

Unfortunately, I actually found that this doesn't work, as it returns the licence plate, but not true or false that is required.

Hello, I have tried to get this running on my Home Assistant, but when I run the Configuration validation, I get the followig error - Configuration invalid . Platform error image_processing.plate_recognizer - Integration 'plate_recognizer' not found.
Platform error image_processing.template - No module named 'homeassistant.components.template.image_processing' Any assistance in resolving this would be appreciated. Peter

[@deanrparry]

Did you sort this? if so how? i assume its a directory name issue?

[@hundsboog]

Same issue here! Any solution yet?

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Might be worth checking the documentation of the integration itself, they might have changed things up

[@famdebruin687]

Thanks, looks nice but where can i copy this scripts ? Cannot find any link for that. Thanks

[@SmartHomeMakers]

On my blog Leonardo smart home makers.com!

[@famdebruin687]

@@SmartHomeMakers thanks

[@TheRealAnthony_real]

Is there a way to store whatever plates are read by reolink rather than define the one plate ?
I'm already trying to deploy this commercially ;)

[@SmartHomeMakers]

You mean put them in a database? What is your use case:)

[@TheRealAnthony_real]

@@SmartHomeMakers I'm just thinking of a yard where several cars are coming in and out .. in order to keep a record of the plates that have been and gone and how long they've sat inside the year. This would be good for analytics etc. also to find if there as a interest in a number plate to quickly search for is presence in the db

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Interesting! Pop me an email I might have some ideas

[@frederikbrjtenborglarsen2757]

@@TheRealAnthony_real did you find a solution for this? I would love to have that integrated in HA.

[@brar5353]

What nvr are you using? I want to attempt this

[@SmartHomeMakers]

No NVR needed, just home assistant!

[@Emirhan-tw3xr]

How I can access Home Assistant app? I dont found it.

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Have you got home assistant installed ?
