Lobe Logo
This is a Home Assistant custom component for Lobe. Lobe is an AI tool that can classify images. This component lets you easily use an exported model along with another server to classify a camera entity's feed with it.

Installation

Use HACS for the integration. You'll also need a seperate server. Steps to install on another server:

  • Install the Lobe library.
  • Install Flask.
  • Export a Tensorflow Lite model into a folder on the server.
  • Copy over app.py and change the folder location.
  • Run app.py.
  • You'll probably want to make it run on start.

Configuration

This is the configuration format:

image_processing:
  - platform: lobe
    entity_id: camera.front_door_livestream # Camera entity ID
    name: "Front Door Status" # Optional; Custom name
    server: "http://lobeserver.local:5623" # Server address
    scan_interval: 2 # Optional; How often to update

It will produce an entity something like this: image
