Any other Home Assistant users migrating over from Reddit with all the api BS that's going on? If so, what's your current project? Mine is to convert my Docker instance over to HAOS.

I'm here from reddit as well.

Over the past couple days I've been working on getting my Amcrest cameras working and displaying on the dashboard along with general tinkering like adding Adaptive Lighting to test out.

I'd like to dig deeper into custom dashboards but it's a steep learning curve and I've gotten overwhelmed and discouraged each time I've tried it. I wish they would create a theme store or way to import other people dashboards so that you can just add your own entities and you're good to go.

You don't have an Amcrest doorbell. Do you? I've heard good things about them, but haven't bought one yet.

I don't. So far just the POE cameras which are great. The NVR works fine but the software/UI leaves a lot to be desired

I'm planning on using one of the Amcrest doorbell cameras, the $150 one if I remember correctly, with Frigate for my NVR. I tested Frigate out with a Reolink POE camera and really liked it. The camera had good reviews concerning Home Assistant and the integration said that local only was an option. Just gotta get my house all wired up correctly. I'm in a hose from the 70s and it needs a serious update.
