  • It integrates very well. The only thing that doesn’t work is reading the state of the siren. You can turn it on or off, but you can’t see whether it’s on or off. Everything else works great. I have some outside cameras and some inside ones, and they all connect to the Home Hub or whatever they call it, and that connects to Home Assistant.

    All of my cameras have their own SD cards, and the Home Hub has its own SD card. According to the docs, this means they’ll record in both places, but I haven’t checked.

    A really nice thing about them is you don’t need to make an account. The app works by pairing with the devices, and you’re done. You can stream video from anywhere, no account needed.

    This really depends on how you installed. Some partition types are easier to resize than others. The most important thing to do is backup everything important before you do anything.

    Then boot to a live CD and you can use something like gparted or KDE Partition Manager to delete the NTFS partition and resize your Linux partition.

    If you have a spare drive with enough space, it’s a great idea to take an image of the whole disk using Gnome Disks. That way if anything goes wrong, you can restore to the point you took the image.

    Look up a tutorial on how to resize specifically your partition type (luks, ext4, btrfs, etc) with KDE PM or gparted. That should inform you of any caveats you should be aware of beforehand.
