Slug detector running end to end

For the first time the slug detector runs as one complete system instead of separate pieces on my desk.

Camera, recognition and the connection into our smart home finally work together in a single pass, without me starting anything by hand in between.

That moment when the individual parts stop being individual parts is my favourite in any build.
