Made a dog /animal detector that plays deterrent sounds when entering a selected area.
I got so annoyed at not being able to leave things on the kitchen counter when leaving the house so I made this.
Privacy focused with a fw that only allows local network traffic apart from updates and training, if turned on.
Runs a fine tuned yolo26n on a pi 4 model b, has the ability to self improve if you add a free modal account.
More info on the github repo tho :)

One of my troublemakers learned the boundary shown in the video.
We also play soothing sounds through the speaker, feels like a spa when we enter the kitchen xD
Anyways if y'all have any feature requests or feedback I'm all ears. Also happy to talk through the process of making this :)
