What happens when you let Google Gemini AI analyze your security cameras in Home Assistant?
Spoiler: it sees everything—and sometimes the things you’d rather it didn’t. In this video,
I connect the LLMVision HACS add-on to the cloud-based Gemini AI, enabling object detection and automation powered by real video feed analysis.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this Home Assistant Tutorial:
– How to install and configure LLM Vision via HACS
– Connecting LLM Vision to Gemini AI for object/event analysis in Home Assistant
– Building smart home automations triggered by camera events ☁️ Gemini AI works in the cloud
—so while it’s powerful, it’s not 100% local.
Privacy-sensitive? This might not be your jam… or maybe it is. Watch and decide.
Plus: awkward fails, automation experiments, and that moment it thought my cat was a burglar wasn’t recorded but the lemurs were.
