Separate media reads from app-data writes when diagnosing Plex load; throughput and latency matter differently for each path.

Scale Plex by measuring the workload mix and the resource that saturates first, not by assuming CPU cores or RAM alone define capacity.

Treat a slow first startup after an update as a migration-and-rebuild problem until CPU, disk, logs, and a second restart prove otherwise.

Event time describes when a home event occurred; processing time describes when the automation engine handled it, and delays separate the two.

Sampling must be fast enough to preserve behavior-changing events, but faster data does not improve predictions when it adds noise or redundancy.

Array geometry controls which spatial delays can be measured and filtered, shaping far-field signal quality before local speech recognition begins.

Duplicate camera events often appear when one physical subject is reacquired as a new track after occlusion, gaps, or weak association evidence.

More tools increase capability only when the agent can narrow them into a small, causally useful choice set at each planning step.
