Partly worksStreams slow and sometimes time out on Pi Zero W; Pi 3B/4B runs 4 cameras fine
Saved copy
I'm running on a pi zero w and use homebridge-camera-ffmpeg for a couple of hacked Yi Home cameras. Loading the streams is pretty slow and sometimes just times out. Just curious if anyone had any experiencing suggesting upgrading to a pi 4 would significantly improve my experience.

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
