[Support]: HA integration - long time between person count update and relative image sensor

[jiiins]

Describe the problem you are having

In HA, I need to take the snapshot of the image sensor (with detection boxes) whenever a camera's person count changes. However, in many cases the image sensor hasn't updated yet and shows the previous detection. I added a delay of 1 second before the snapshot but only helps some of the time. I've noticed that in some cases the image is updated several seconds later (up to 9).

Is there a faster way to pull the image with boxes from frigate directly, rather than relying on the image sensor?

Thanks

yes, use the mqtt /events topic and pull the snapshot from the api

I noticed that the snapshot changes from the initial image to include the object boxes. Is there a way to wait until the boxes are done?
