  • Recognise people by their face on object sensors that look for Person. Off until you turn it
    on, per sensor, after a sheet that says what is stored and what is downloaded (once, from Hugging
    Face); it can also be turned on in the new sensor wizard. The faces never leave your Home
    Assistant.
    • Name the people of your household by tapping them on the Live tab, in a history frame or in
      the review queue: Who is this? Only a usable face can be taught, so a back or a jacket never
      becomes someone.
    • Shared by every camera: a person named on one camera is known on all that recognise faces.
      Each gets an on/off sensor and a count per camera, and their own sensor
      (sensor.visionstate_<name>) that says which camera sees them now, or not_seen.
    • Unknown person turns on for a face seen clearly that matches nobody you named; a face
      further away or turned to the side can still be named, but never makes someone a stranger.
    • People (in the menu) lists everyone with their faces and the camera each was taught on,
      where they were last seen, people the AI finds alike and faces that may carry the wrong name;
      rename, move or forget faces and people there.
    • Does my camera see faces well enough? The Live tab draws each face and says why one cannot
      be used (too small, turned away, cut off by the edge, blurry), and how many of the last people
      had a usable face.
    • A face nobody is named for keeps a frame in the history (Face seen, not named), so someone
      who was only at the door for a moment can be named afterwards.
    • Limits for faces (smallest face, how close a face must be to be named, asked about or kept)
      under Settings → Recognising faces for all sensors, and per sensor.
    • Two face models: SFace (small, fine on a Raspberry Pi 4) and AuraFace (for a fast PC).
  • Compare and manage the models (Settings → AI model): every model from the smallest to the
    largest, with the face models next to the object detector; a downloaded model that is not in use
    can be deleted there.
  • The wizard warns about a small picture: it may be the camera's low-resolution stream, while
    the main stream is often hidden in Home Assistant.
