Robot Mower

[skinnerjack]

how do i stop blue iris from triggering on my robot mower.
would it be in Faces?

I think the easiest way would be to reduce the sensitivity to small objects by increasing the size in "Min. Obj. size" so it ignores small objects.

Create a custom motion detection zone that excludes the area where your robot mower operates. You can do this in the camera settings under the "Zones" tab

Do you use AI or custom models? If not, you might want to start playing with this.
If yes, then determine what the mower is detected as and what the typical confidence is (percentage). Raise the sensitivity for that particular model on the camera with false positives.

I have the same issue, but as the robot mower is always identified as a cow @ 70% +/-, it is fairly easy to eliminate without lowering overall detection.

At one time I had an issue with crows ripping up my back lawn to get at grubs. I solved that with a HomeSeer (HS4) robot lawnmower plugin and BI5/CPAI looking for "bird" on that camera and sending an MQTT command to HS4. When a bird appeared, my "MowBot" would start and scare the crows off

In my case, CPAI thought MowBot was a bird

Why am I thinking HomeSeer and Propane Bird Cannon?

I did consider a directional water cannon, but decided that was beyond my abilities

It was funny watching the birds land, MowBot lurch into movement and the birds fly off again

Now that's how I'd go about it myself. Tell CPAI something is whatever it thinks it is and be done with it.

Or...., generate 500 instances of what it actually is so CPAI may hit it right reliably enough to be correctly identified in a reasonable percentage of alerts. Ahem....

When is a mouse not a mouse? When CPAI thinks it a schoolbus!

Problem solved.
