Local integration, no cloud preferred.

    The one that has the little hub with the light up ears?

    Last I heard the local workaround was updated out of the software and that one dev had taken their project on it private, due to the manufacturer actively working to make it difficult.

    Insane price to buy new, and have been getting a kicking in the reviews for poor function & support. I was considering, because it would be nice to have in HA, but all the above has put me off it.

    Will probably end up with a standard chip reader flap and continue to rely on cameras for IDing who’s in and out. All I’d want remotely is a way to force an unlock, for dealing with any failures to open. Could maybe mod that in.

      That sounds too bad. I have not used it in more than a year. When I bought it like five years ago, it was pretty much the only option…

        If you still have it, it may still be useful to a dev - especially if it’s been off the net and not updated.

        I can’t find anything else today with the same features at least. A shame it’s unfriendly to open standards.

          Unfortunately, the Pethub local project seems dead. Also, I think that my version is already too new.

          I guess if somebody wants to try and hack into it, I could send it to them… At least within the EU.

              Actually, if you want to pay for shipping, I can gladly send it to you. PM me if you’re interested.
