About


birdnet-pi is an AI solution for continuous avian monitoring and identification originally developed by @mcguirepr89 on github (https://github.com/mcguirepr89/BirdNET-Pi), whose work is continued by @Nachtzuster and other developers on an active fork (https://github.com/Nachtzuster/BirdNET-Pi)

Features of the addon :

  • Robust base image provided by linuxserver
  • Working docker system thanks to https://github.com/gdraheim/docker-systemctl-replacement
  • Uses HA pulseaudio server
  • Uses HA tmpfs to store temporary files in ram and avoid disk wear
  • Exposes all config files to /config to allow remanence and easy access
  • Allows to modify the location of the stored bird songs (preferably to an external hdd)
  • Supports ingress, to allow secure remote access without exposing ports

Configuration

Install, then start the addon a first time Webui can be found at http://homeassistant:80.

You'll need a microphone : either use one connected to HA or the audio stream of a rstp camera.

Options can be configured through three ways :

BIRDS_ONLINE_INFO: uses either allaboutbird (US birds in english) or ebird (universal and translated) to provide online information
TZ: Etc/UTC specify a timezone to use, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones#List
ssl: true/false
certfile: fullchain.pem #ssl certificate, must be located in /ssl
keyfile: privkey.pem #sslkeyfile, must be located in /ssl
pi_password: set the user password to access the web terminal
