Someone has a sense of humor in the reviews section: "I’ve been using the demo data for three weeks. I don’t own a house. — Aspiring Homeowner"
I think/hope the whole "home manager" category is going to take off soon. On a cost basis, it no longer makes sense--practically--not to use visual/text/audio intelligence to manage such a large asset. We just don't have the user-friendly mass-market interfaces for it just yet. It's possible to scan every manual, every insurance policy, ingest every local bylaw. It's possible to take a video of your home and transfor…
> It's possible to do sensor fusion of all the outward facing cameras from your home Is that legal though? I'm guessing it the US it might be, given the amount of cameras of public places you can see in various communities, but wonder how common that is. Where I live (Spain) it's not legal to just stick a camera on your house and record public places, you need to put the camera in a way so you're only filming your pr…
That's legal.
If someone gets recorded that's because they left the public land and entered mine.

This. If I am the only one who can use it and only from one computer, it would be entirely useless for my needs. I have several computers and also family members who would need access to that data. A Google Docs spreadsheet would be a better tool for my specific needs I think.
I think the same. Why overcomplicate and just use some online Spreadsheet like from Google Docs. The same or even less effort.
This is quite cool. Makes me philosophical: isn't it odd, that this is like an Excel template? Like a "domain model" template? In this case, presented nicely in a TUI that makes basic CRUD workflows work. Most SaaS companies are just that: 1) Curated domain model (stored in their cloud db) 2) Some way for users do to almost raw CRUD on the tables 3) Curated high-level domain specific workflows that do n CRUD calls un…
Amusingly most of this data then end up back into Excel or PowerBi but the unbundling and contextualizing itself is worth the price.
Semantic mapping was the answer all along. It just failed on the open web. The idea never died in the industrial world.
Why not keep everything in a simple text file?
For the features. Text file has none of them.
files are stored as BLOBs inside the SQLite database, so cp micasa.db backup.db backs up everything – no sidecar files SQLite is just so cool. Anyway, this whole project looks amazing. I can't wait to kick tires (and then track when I last changed my tires... wait, can it do that?!)

I've got several cameras outside my house, but these recording 24/7 are adjusted to capture my property only (garden, front drive, entrances etc) That's legal. If someone gets recorded that's because they left the public land and entered mine.
That makes sense, you're not actually recording public spaces, that'd be legal here too. "all the outward facing cameras from your home" makes it sound like that's including public spaces though, but maybe I'm just reading it too strictly.

I checked out HomeChart, and boy howdy it feels like its doing way too much.
Thank you for ironically proving my point, I guess. The main value add here is everything is integrated into one app. I always wonder if folks said the same thing when Salesforce or SAP were created. Anyways we document our reasoning here: https://homechart.app/docs/explanations/architecture/#separa...
