Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Homebridge plugin for Dahua/Lorex Camera Siren triggering for home security systems.

This is a Homebridge plugin that adds a switch to your Homebridge based security system to control the sirens on your Dahua/Lorex cameras. When this switch is turned on, it triggers the siren on each of your Dahua/Lorex cameras that you list in your configuration under "cameras". Dahua/Lorex cameras usually only produce a siren sound for 10-15 seconds on a single camera. This plugin will force all of the cameras in your system to produce a siren sound as long as the switch is on. I'm not sure why Dahua/Lorex chose to make the cameras only produce a siren sound for 10-15 seconds. It's not very loud. It doesn't seem like this would scare anyone off. Especially since only the single camera that detects motion produces a siren sound. Hopefully this plugin will improve your current security system and scare intruders off.

This plugin has only been tested with a Dahua/Lorex N844A8 NVR and Lorex E893AB cameras. This plugin should function with most Dahua/Lorex NVRs, DVRs, and cameras. It uses Dahua's/Lorex's implementation of basic authentication and the RPC interface that the NVR uses to talk to the cameras. Dahua/Lorex has blocked using the camera sirens with the simple cgi-bin commands, so I was forced to use the more complex RPC interface that the NVR uses to talk to its cameras. Just let me know if it works on your system and I can add this to the compatibility chart.

FYI, I haven't added https support, but this is easy to add if anyone needs it. It should be as simple as changing http to https.
