This adapter uses Sentry libraries to automatically report exceptions and code errors to the developers. For more details and for information on how to disable the error reporting, see Sentry-Plugin Documentation! Sentry reporting is used starting with js-controller 3.0.
Adapter for Frigate Tool Frigate Video
- Enter Frigate url e.g.
localhost:5000or192.168.178.2:5000 - Enter MQTT port: 1883 from the frigate config
- Enter host or ip of iobroker system in the frigate config under
mqtt:
host: ioBrokerIP
port: ioBrokerPortAfter Starting Frigate and the Adapter, you should see a new client connected in the log.
General Information about the system and cameras.
frigate.0.remote.pauseNotifications - Pause Notification for all Cameras.
Last Event with before and after information.
frigate.0.events.history - History of the last X events.
History event has a thumbnail of the event and URL to the snapshot and clip.
Status and settings of the camera.
Change states to change the settings of the camera.
Detailed Information about all states
frigate.0.camera_name.motion- Whether camera_name is currently detecting motion. Expected values are ON and OFF. NOTE: After motion is initially detected, ON will be set until no motion has been detected for mqtt_off_delay seconds (30 by default).frigate.0.camera_name.person_snapshot- Publishes a jpeg encoded frame of the detected object type. When the object is no longer detected, the highest confidence image is published or the original image is published again. The height and crop of snapshots can be configured in the config.frigate.0.camera_name.history- Event history of the camera.frigate.0.camera_name.remote.notificationText- custom notification text for the camera.frigate.0.camera_name.remote.notificationMinScore- custom notification min score for the camera.frigate.0.camera_name.remote.pauseNotifications- pause notification for the camera.frigate.0.camera_name.remote.ptz- send ptz commands https://docs.frigate.video/integrations/mqtt/#frigatecamera_nameptz
The adapter can send snapshots and clips from events and object detection to instances like telegram, pushover and signal-cbm.
You can specify multiple instances or users to send snapshots or clips.
Activate notifications in the settings to receive snapshots or clips.
For Event can enter a minimum score before sending. 0 = Disabled.
Clips are sent 5 seconds (Instance settings) after the event ends.
You can enter custom notification text with placeholder {{source}} {{type}} erkannt {{status}} {{score}} {{state}}.
You can integrate snapshots and clips in the vis:
Snapshot:
- Add a
String img srcand use as Object ID:frigate.0.camera_name.person_snapshot - Add a
String img srcand use as Object ID:frigate.0.events.history.01.thumbnail
Clips:
- Add a
HTMLadd as HTML:
<video width="100%" height="auto" src="{frigate.0.events.history.01.webclip}" autoplay muted>
</video>Number of persons:
frigate.0.camera.person
Event with Person:
frigate.0.events.after.label= person
If you want to send via telegram and co. the clips and snapshots to the iobroker host, the frigate instance and telegram (or other) instance must run on the same host, as frigate uses disk to store the clips and snapshots.
