It bothers me that they're not in order of shade, but this is the closest they've eaten together yet

There are two things that our doorbell camera notifies me about: 1) doorbell button presses 2) our neighbor's cat

@scott Thanks! The previous owners did all the work, we just try not to screw it up :blobsweats:

@tithonium we're pretty happy with it, folks here before us tore up all the grass and did this, which is something we always wanted to do (so it's good someone else did it first)

Oh and sometimes different neighbors' cats and occasionally squirrel. I've been tempted to stitch all these together into an animated gif or something

I'm also happy that our doorbell camera doesn't connect out to the internet, just to my local Home Assistant instance in the basement

Still need to debug the waterfall, woke up to all the water emptied out. But other than that, this pleases me. I can come out here and touch grass and rocks and water

Also, home assistant tells me the fountain and debris skimmer only run at about 80 watts. So that's not bad

@courtney We've got a Reolink PoE video doorbell. It has some cloud features, but those are pretty easy to disable. And there's an HA integration out of the box reolink.com/product/reolink-vi
