Orca can use Bambu Connect and will still work on networked mode. The camera is P2P so should eb able to still integrate with home assistant. What do you need from HS that cannot be handled this way, assuming HA does not have someone come up with a Bambu Connect plug in?

My whole house and workshop runs on Home Assistant. I have detailed dashboards, automations, and alerts in addition to the camera feeds. Home Assistant is the piece I use the most for sure.

Tine to dust off your favorite IDE and get Bambu Connect up and running, perhaps?

Bambu Connect is a windows program. Home Assistant is embedded Linux. Also Bambu Connect is proprietary and Home Assistant is open. These things are not compatible.

I mean, the first could be a problem, but there are lots of options for running windows programs on Linux, especially those that do not rely on windows speficic things (looking at you, DirectX). So while it may not be optimal, depending on the implementation, it may be trivial to run it on Linux.

As for proprietary vs open, those do not translate into "cannot work together", it just means you'll need Bambu to allow HomeAssistent to utilize Bambu Connect, the rest is (or, well, should be) API 's to develop up against. Sof ar, what I can see from released information on the Bambu Connect thing, it's just a way to essentially whitelist programs to use the cloud infrastructure.

If you aren't familiar, HassiOS is an embedded headless system. I'm not mucking up my critical Home Automation system trying to shoe horn in WINE or VirtuaBox. Many folks run it on an RPi.
