I Connected My Farm to the Internet – Now What?
summary
Farm network uses Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi, OBS -> Azure Media Services for llama streams, and Azure Custom Vision to detect llamas; bandwidth constraint was ~100 GB/month so streams are low‑bitrate and scheduled. Water tanks get automated with Zigbee sensors, Node‑RED flows and alerts, cutting manual trips up a 100 m hill and avoiding ~$1,500 water truck fills; system once still ran dry. Focus is on local control for offline resilience, low maintenance set‑and‑forget, and parent test usability.
