See my previous posts about that. [APP][Pro] FACE++ Face Recognition for Homey - #140 by Gruijter
My Face++ app keeps crashing(or pausing) when being used.
This is a Homey Pro
I made a diagnostics report:
4c18eb75-632b-437e-a32f-7b48fb46b58f
This was not an issue at first during testing, but after i mounted the camera outside.
There is absolutely no information in the crash report:

But anyhow, I want to upgrade the Face++ app to SDK3 somewhere in the next few months. So when I have a lot of spare time I will rewrite the entire app. That means I will not do any maintenance on the code now.

I dont think so. Nothing changed in the app, so your issue must be something else. My guess would be account related. Try setting up a new account with face++.
Hi, App is working fine during the day but not during the night (nightvision).
Would you suggest to lower the Confidence Threshold (for the moment on 70) or upload higher quality pictures or any other suggestions?
Was also wondering if uploading more multiple pictures of the same persons will increase the succes rate?
Thx for the feedback!
Definitely! (Assuming you are not sending the same image multiple times)
Do you mean itâs worth to upload more pictures of the same person ? With the same Label ?
Not what I meant. I meant sending more live snapshots to evaluate for recognition 
But you need clear images to start with. If the image is unclear in the night you need more light or a better camera.

Yep, understood, I was just wondering 
Unfortunately some devices send only one snapshot, so it canât be improved much in such case.
This was indeed also my question
What about the nightvision snapshots? Any idea how to improve the succes rate?
If by nightvision you mean IR assisted lighting, it might be worth trying to add the same face in the database, but then with IR lighting on. I donât know how well the AI can handle IR images though. Just try and let us know

I will try to upload an IR image. If I understand you well if I use the same label for the new picture it will override the current âdaylightâ picture?
I will keep you informed !
dont think so, not sure. But just make a second label. So for Homey it will be 2 seperate persons.

Hi, as promised: IR image is not working. I was not able to upload a picture which was accurate enough to be recognized.
Itâs a pitty because I wanted to use it as an extra option to allow entrance (geofencing is taken to long).

Iâm happy to announce I have completely rewritten the app to SDK3. This means it is now supported by Homey 2023 and beyond 
- Rewrite to SDK3.
- jimp@0.16.2
Could some of you test the new version and give me feedback? If all is good (well, at least not worse than the present stable version) then I will release the new version as stable. Face++ | Homey
Hi @Gruijter , I donât have good newsâŚit works like before Great job on migrating it to SDK3 and thank you !
Only observation after such a short time, seems itâs little bit more memory hungry during image recognition it went to 27MB, then dropped to 25MB, while previous max. seems to be about 25MB - so 2MB difference, I guess no big deal.

Hi @Gruijter ,
seems that version v2.0.1 have some problems on HP2023 - are you aware of this please or itâs my configuration issue ? Happens just after migrationâŚseveral restarts attempted, still the same thoughâŚ
Thank you.

update seems my HP2023 is simply not running OK - itâs overloaded, thatâs why this error possibly appeared, I guess donât bother with that now until really Athom fixes HP2023 SW first.
