"This does not and is not designed to handle stationary objects. If a car is in the driveway a notification will be sent when it is first seen but will not be continually updated" So what you're saying is this will help frigate detect moving objects better? Cuz if so that's exactly what I need on my front porch camera with people walking by alot... |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-
|
What that means is it doesn't have "loitering" detection. I have people walking by the yard all the time and properly created zones are effective at removing notifications along with this automation |

|
Oh no, the thing is I DO want notifications on my porch, it seems to work alright but if they are moving quickly then it sometimes just misses it completely. I have a zone on my porch too might try lowering the camera to see if it helps and also maybe the removal of "loitering" detection might make it detect the moving person quicker, might try. |

|
If speed is an issue then a higher detect fps would be a good try as well. This automation will notify for all objects detected, but won't specifically alert that someone may be loitering, is what I mean |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

Are other areas visible to the camera? Have you masked off areas other than the porch? If so, you are preventing frigate from identifying and tracking objects before they enter your porch so it can notify you if they enter the porch zone. |

@blakeblackshear Here is what it currently looks like, the green is the zone I have set for it to detect people and the black is the mask that's just blocking a window right there. One thing I plan on testing is slighting moving the position of the camera more towards the stairs and a little more down to see if it helps, I even raised it to 15fps to see if that will help it detect moving people faster. Overall I'd say it works pretty good it just struggles when a person is walking by sometimes or if there are multiple people on the porch, I hope it gets better when I'm finally able to add a coral to my RPI4.

Can someone help me understand if this is possible? I would like to get notified when there is a delivery to my house, that would mean if a car stops by in front of my house (a zone in frigate) for some amount of time, I get notified, if a car just only passes through a zone fast I don't want to get a notification. Is this possible to do using some modification of this notification script? I have been trying to find a way, but to no avail. |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-
|
Sure it's possible. On first thought you would fire the automation same as it is now, wait for the end message like it is now except keep running on timeout (with the timeout being your loitering time) and then check if the end came through or not. If not then it is still there. |

@GiowGiow, another possibility is using Frigate+. I don't know if it's mature enough to work for your use case now, but on this page Frigate+ it states they use custom models, including "delivery truck". Over time as this product matures you should be able to train your Frigate to detect delivery trucks over other types of vehicles. |

The first one shows how I do it by sending things to a script. The second part shows how to do it if you don't want to use a custom script and instead want to just use the standard notify. So in short they're not directly related or meant to be used together. |

Thanks for posting this. I am not a Frigate expert, nor an HA automation expert, so the Blueprints really don't help me understand anything I'm trying to have HA send email alerts for 2 of my 10 cameras. Could this automation be adapted for that? I already have SMTP setup and working, but for the life of me I cannot get images to be inserted inline into the email. I am looking for it to say "$object Detected at $time" and then insert the image below, not as an attachment. I am doing it currently without issue in Blue Iris, and want to replicate the setup. Has anyone done anything similar? Here is an example

Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

Well, this is precisely why Blueprints are beneficial when starting out with HA! I do understand that attempting to decipher the blueprint code can be overwhelming if that's what you're trying to do. Was your intent to modify it for sending email instead of phone notifications? Others have adapted this blueprint to use Telegram instead of HA Companion notifications, so yes, it's possible it could be adapted to send email. I assume you are trying to use the HA SMTP integration to send email. I've never used this integration, but the doc states that if you use the html option in conjunction with the images option, you have complete control over how images are sent. |

Hi all was reading this nice topic about notifications with frigate and double take. So I would love to trigger the automation / script when the doorbell is pressed and then check whether it is someone detect by Double Take or it's an unknow person. Is that possible or maybe some one has some good suggestions? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-
|
You may be able to use some of an automation that I wrote. This triggers when somebody moves between two frigate zones (street to paths). Then waits a minute for the trigger of my doorbell (a zigbee button connected via zigbee2mqtt) being pressed, this is deviceid 173edf4aa912da15d409281263911857. If the doorbell is pressed, it sends me notification with the frigate snapshot that initiated the automation. |

Thanks for your reply. So this confirms my thoughts. |

I can't see another way to do it; Frigate/DoubleTake has to start the
process as that's where the person detection happens.
|
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-
|
not necessarily. Doubletake provides historical entities via mqtt that show which faces were detected on each camera and when the last time was. So whenever the doorbell rings just check that or wait until it updates and good to go |

But I dont think it is possible to use mqtt data in conditions without defining in the condition on what kind of event to check/listen to right ? |

it's not directly from mqtt. There is a sensor that doubletake provides as part of the mqtt integration |

@NickM-27 Is there more information about what specifically the "before" and "after" sections are in the MQTT event data? I've got an automation (thank you btw for your examples and info in this thread; very useful) based on your work, but the one thing I've noticed (maybe just an issue with the newer 0.13+) is that if you want to act on both a label and a zone, there are times where you may have one, the other, but not both until you get to later update events. To overcome this, I used your wait trick and I watch for a "new" event (for the event id), then i wait for updates (for label and zones). Sometimes I've noticed that, at least for "current_zones", a zone may be in the "before", but not in the "after". Before I change my code to look at "before", I was curious about when those two would get updated? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-
|
you need to think about it like current points in time. Frigate sends messages when things happen like an object enters a zone, becomes stationary, etc. At any time that an important change happens, frigate sends the mqtt message with what the state was before this change and what the state was after this change |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-
|
Ok, I had assumed as much, though what confuses me a bit I guess is due to something that happened in a series of events. I can't remember exactly what the issue was, but I think it had to do with reported zones in current_zones and entered_zones not really making sense unless the fps for detection on my camera is too low and in a single event update, a person moved from one zone to another such that the zone only ever showed up in current_zones during "before" and was never in "after". I suppose it wouldn't hurt to just check both before.current_zones and after.current_zones? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

@NickM-27 got a question regarding my above automation. Other question is that I see in your example that you use the returned sub_label of double take to notify with a persons name. |

it would be come time after doubletake finds it match, basically the next update that frigate sends after that happens |

I'd like to share an automation I've been using for a few weeks now that seems very reliable and I have found it does a much more accurate notification of the events I'm concerned with (in this case, people coming to my front door) compared to the doorbell app I have from the manufacturer. I took inspiration from a few of the other automations in this thread, most notably the idea to filter MQTT events right at the trigger stage using multiple pieces of the payload together vs relying on conditions (to reduce the number of traces), and also using the repeat and wait actions so that it can watch an event all the way through and use updates until it finds a good candidate for a notification. You may notice that the first condition is redundant since it already tests for a "new" event in the trigger portion, and the second condition watches a door sensor so that I don't get notified if someone has answered (opened) the door as someone is standing there. Finally, for anyone who didn't know, there's a "hidden" action called Stop that I use to break out of the actions once a notification is sent, thus preventing repeated notifications from the same event. alias: Security - Person at front door

Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

You're triggering your event whenever it sees your reolink camera which will spam you. There's a single new event, the one or more updates, then an end. Every single one of the new, update or end events could be for your reolink, so you shouldn't trigger on your camera, but on a condition that will guarantee you a single trigger. This is why people use the repeat & wait events (trigger on new, repeat looking for updates, stop when we see end). Also, when you use wait, the results are stored in the To help debug, look at the traces and check the changed variables and such so you can see the json you got and help you figure out what's going on and where your stuff might be failing. |

I previously had these notifications working but I removed the attached clip due to very high data usage by home assistant when it was present (I discovered it always uses cellular data to send the video clip and it was rapidly eating through my plan data). Ever since then, for some reason the image preview has gone away from the notification. Clicking on the notification itself correctly sends me to the video, but I don't get an image preview on the ios notification and if I long click I just get a broken video link. I've done the following:

I have adapted the OP code to use Telegram. The notification will send a snapshot (with object detected box) along with a link to the video clip.

Intro
I saw there was some interest over on Reddit asking about Frigate notifications without a blueprint. I have implemented this myself and figured I would share so others who are interested can work off of it.
Screenshots
Basic Example
This is the notification when it first goes off and then after the event has ended.
Double-Take Example
This is an example of the double-take face match
Important Notes
script.send_dynamic_notificationis a custom script I wrote in order to send the notification to my mobile devices and my TVs at the same time. If there is a lot of interest I can add this to this post as well, but that will need to be changed before the automation will work.Double-Taketo add face info for any recognized people. If you don't use double-take then you will want to delete everything besides the part betweenelseandendiffor the title and message.parallelso that multiple notifications can come through from the same camera. For example, if a car drives up and a person gets out, you will be notified about both.Automation Yaml
