March 31, 2026 Integrating a Cat with BookStack
Integrations don't just have to span virtual systems.
In this video Ben and I show the process of integrating a cat with BookStack using an IP camera, and home assistant.
No cats were harmed in the making of the video, although one was mildly disgruntled from being picked up.
