Sometimes Frigate and frigate-notify may not be placed in the same non-auth segment, but both can access the MQTT bus. And then we can assume that the Frigate API is protected by some type of auth (e.g., behind a reverse proxy, or we can imagine that Auth! MR is already implemented).
Since frigate-notify uses the net/http package to handle HTTP requests, we can easily implement Basic authentication and authorization based on the static Bearer Token header (generated externally).

Basic Auth description: https://pkg.go.dev/net/http#Request.BasicAuth + https://pkg.go.dev/net/http#Request.SetBasicAuth
Bearer Token description: https://swagger.io/docs/specification/authentication/bearer-authentication/

Thank you.

Depending on number of cameras installed, it might be possible that we don't want alerts from every camera.

Need to add code & config to allow excluding cameras from alerts.

Sometimes it is necessary to make a broadcast message about the happened event to multiple consumers.
Not to break the top-level implementation and keep the base validations, below is a suggestion on how to augment the model by introducing a list to each of the notifier:

...
alerts:
  telegram:
  - enabled: true
    chatid: 123456789
    token: 123456:ABC-DEF1234ghIkl-zyx57W2v1u123ew11
  - enabled: true
    chatid: 987654321
    token: 654321:CBA-FED4321ghIkl-zyx57W2v1u123ew11
  - enabled: true
    chatid: ...
    token: ...
  gotify:
  - enabled: true
    server: gotify.alpha.domain.tld
    token: ABCDEF
    ignoressl: true
  - enabled: true
    server: gotify.beta.domain.tld
    token: CABFED
    ignoressl: true
...

For existing frigate-notify users, backward compatibility with current behavior (single-key approach) can also be kept.

Currently, a workaround to support multiple notifier consumers of the same kind is to run several instances of frigate-notify with different MQTT clientid in the configuration.

Thank you.

The documentation states that the default interval for the web API is 30 seconds.
That seemed fine to me so I didn't add it to my configuration.

It turned out that when omitting the Web API interval in the config, the resulting interval is 0.
This causes some endless polling without a break.

Either the documentation should be adjusted or there's an issue with the handling of the default value of that property.

Hello

I use ntfy + discord with mqtt and y have 2 times out of three Random "No snapshot available"

How to debug ? Do you know the problem ?

Please can you add Pushover Notifications to frigate-notify https://pushover.net/

Thank you for creating frigate-notify, its excellent for standalone Frigate NVR

Move from standard webhook message to embeds, in order to add color, title, etc..

Hi everyone,

First, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone using Frigate-Notify! While I've built this as a hobby project for my own Frigate instance, I'm really glad to see other people getting value out of it as well. I never really expected many people to find & use it, but as of today the latest release already has over 1,500 downloads 😲 Thank you for being here!

Next, I wanted to put out a quick message that I'll be away for a short while. I will be fairly busy over the next couple of weeks, so I won't have much time to dedicate to this project. Should be back to normal by mid/end of July.

In the meantime, I will still monitor the repo - but I may be slow to respond to issues, discussions, and feature requests.

Thanks again! 😊

When I click the link that says "Install/Setup" I just get this:

Placeholder issue to fix Dependabot alerts:

Hello.
First of all, thank you for developing this tool. Even someone as me managed to configure it.

I created my config.yml to send notifications to telegram, but instead of recieveing them as you show in the readme, I only get a simple line text.
How can I configure it to send me the Snapshot and also the links to view the camera or the clip?

I commented an open issue asking to be able to directly attach the video in the telegram message. It would be awesome, but meanwhile, can you help me ?

I've just faced the rare but painful side effect when the HTTP transport can do retransmission on the L3 but has no retransmissions for L4:

2024/06/23 17:40:35 +0000 INF ../tmp/src/notifier/telegram.go:69 > Alert sent event_id=1719153634.438606-w2iy47 provider=Telegram
2024/06/23 17:40:37 +0000 WRN ../tmp/src/notifier/nfty.go:64 > Unable to send alert error="Post \"https://ntfy.domain.tld/topicname\": dial tcp 192.168.xxx.xxx:443: connect: no route to host" event_id=1719153634.438606-w2iy47 provider=Ntfy

That happened due to reverse proxy pod in front of Ntfy was restarting and therefore unavailable.

Is it possible to add to both functions from https://github.com/0x2142/frigate-notify/blob/main/util/httpclient.go some reasonable retries, let's say 5 or even 6. So the maximum delay could be about 1 minute (6 retries * 10 seconds timeout).

Whether this needs to be configurable or not - idk.

Thank you.

Alongside with the existing public REST API, Frigate has internal WebSocket API mostly used by the UI as /ws path.

Perhaps, the Interface Agreement of internal WebSocket API might be changed more often than public REST API. But since the same type of event serialization is used here as for the MQTT payload, the Event information model of frigate-notify can be unified.

Here are several WebSocket messages when the camera caught the 2nd person, while the event for the 1st person had already been alerted:

In most cases, WebSocket integration allows getting rid of the MQTT bus while keeping the same pace of event notifications.
This can also help overcome the trouble with different data format that was shown at #54 (comment).

Allow to use Golang template engine for notification headers, as it is already used for the notification body.
Mostly useful for Webhook notifier.

Also, when implemented, the hard-coded X-Actions header for Ntfy can be moved to default Ntfy configuration.

Currently I use homeassistant to receieve notfications and there i can send a clip directly to Telegram. I am wondering if this work with firagete-notify as well since it is quite nice like telegram shows a preview (like a thumbnail video) .

thanks and kind regards

I have used both ways and trying to figure out what is the best practice or recommended one to use? MQTT or the web api? I am fairly new to this and tried both ways and they work but don’t know what is the best practice for use with pushover.

Thanks for any hints or tips on this.

Testing this out, I'm having an issue where the docker crashes when sending the notification to gotify I think. Here is the log:

At the moment two log messages are created at every polling occurrence.
Those look like:

2024/05/16 20:46:06 Checking for new events...
2024/05/16 20:46:06 Found 0 new events.

When using podman the default logging driver is journald.
The used log priority/level is 3 (which appears as a warning) for whatever reason.

In cases where the polling worked fine and there were no new events, the logging could be avoided completely.
This would prevent the logs from getting flooded and only the messages of interest would go towards the log.
A configuration option for debug logging could be added in addition for some special use cases.

In my case I used a workaround to direct the logs into a "k8s" file instead using journald:

    logging:
      driver: k8s-file
      options:
        path: /opt/frigate/notify.log
        max-size: 10mb

Based on the explanations from Automating based on audio events and Add event ID to audio events mqtt payload (Or use a simplified JSON payload based on camera events JSON), we can conclude that audio events will never appear in the <topic_prefix>/events topic.

Perhaps, the mentioned <topic_prefix>/review topic could be a solution both for video and audio events: Review documentation (not yet published as of 2024-05-13)

This is very similar to #98 but i think it is easier and faster to implement as it doesn't require transcoding or uploading a lot of data.

I would like this project to be able to send a picture instead of the frigate url.

First of all:
Thank you for this awesome frigate extension!
This was the only part of frigate that I was missing really badly.
This reddit post lead me here and I'm very glad about it.

I only noticed a few issues with the generated Telegram notifications:

• The percentage values for the labels are at 0% always.
• The camera and event clip links stopped working after some time (not sure if this is uptime related or not). Since the frigate instance is running at a remote location with seldom activities I cannot easily investigate if it may heal itself automatically again. I can try it myself in a few days.

I'm using version v2.7.0 of this software and 0.13.2 of frigate.

Hi. Disclaimer - not an expert, using portainer.

Have this error:

Any thoughts please welcomed? Ready to facepalm if I'm missing something obvious!

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Using Frigate and Plate Recogniser. Plate Recogniser adds sub_label to recognised car licence plates, I would like to block events, when my car is recognised, by defining its licence plate in config like:¨

alerts:
  sublabels:
    block:
      - MY_PLATE_XYZ

Describe the solution you'd like
Possibility to allow/block notification based on sub_label (same functionality as with "label").

In MQTT there is attribute sub_lablel: ... "sub_label": ["MY_PLATE_XYZ", null] ..., so should be possibly easy to scrape.

Describe the bug
When object enters allowed zone, Frigate might not yet have snapshot or clip, so notification is not generated: Event dropped - No snapshot or clip available
Later update event is received, already with snapshot or clip, but it is inside same zone: Event dropped - Already notified on this zone

Expected behavior
When snapshot or clip is available, even event comes from same zone, it should be notified. Problematic condition in code: here.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• Enter allowed zone, leave allowed zone without entering different zone or leave through zone not allowed for notifications.

Versions:

• Frigate NVR: 0.14.0
• Frigate-Notify: 3.4.0

^^^ where Zahrada is allowed zone, Terasa is not listed in allowed zones.

Additional context
Seems it will be necessary to have some in-memory map of event IDs and booleans flagging that notification was already sent?

The user cannot easily understand:

1. Which module produced the log entry.
2. Where the important part is located because the entries are only partially colored (and I'm not sure the global logger must always use ConsoleWriter, btw):
   
3. Parsing by automated tools, since the entries do not have a uniform structure.
4. What time is displayed, as no time zone and format is specified.

Describe the solution you'd like
More mature logging can be conceptualized as:

1. A single overlay function that handles logging.
2. Unified (form and text), enriched enough, log record format (see References section below).

Hi Matt,

Just wondering if you are able to publish docker image for arm64 as well? I got an error saying no matching manifest for linux/arm64/v8 in the manifest list entries.

Thanks.

Hi Matt,

Thank you for developing such application! It fills a gap which allows you to avoid having to run a mqtt broker!

I'm trying to use the SMTP alerts but I think there is a problem.
My SMTP relay is in my LAN, and does not need to authenticate or the use of TLS/SSL to send emails.

So, when frigate-notify is about to sends the alert, it gives me this error even if I specified the TLS option in the Yaml:

2023/11/29 19:24:46 Checking for new events...
2023/11/29 19:24:46 Found 1 new events.

2023/11/29 19:24:51 SMTP alert sent
2023/11/29 19:25:21 Checking for new events...

Here is the alert section of my config file:

alerts:  
  general:
    title: "Frigate_Alert"
    
  smtp:
    enabled: true
    server: 192.168.0.254
    port: 25
    tls: false
    user:
    password:
    recipient: [email protected],[email protected]

Do you have any idea where the problem could come from?

I saw the import of the variable in smtp.go#L17, but I'm not sure it is reused in the SendSMTP function.

Many thanks for your help!

Nice utility, thank you!

Describe the bug
In config.yml,

server: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5000 does not work
it only works with
server: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5000

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

either document this with an example, or accept the IP:port combination without the leading http:

The frigate-notify docker image is Scratch-based, which means any additional utils are missing (even shell and ps tools).

In this situation, to add the ability to perform healthcheck there is an approach like the traefik did. Compose notation:

servicename:
...
    healthcheck:
      test: traefik healthcheck --ping
...

Thus, probably, the following could also be enough:

./frigate-notify healthcheck

Hello,

Thank for the work !

I have find a "problem"

In ntfy notification this button is local URL

Is this normal behavior?

frigate:
  # Frigate host URL (ex. https://frigate.yourdomain.tld)
  # This is required for both collection methods
  server: http://192.168.1.254:5000
  # Set to true if using SSL & a self-signed certificate
  ignoressl: true
  # Public / internet-facing Frigate URL, if different from above server address
  public_url: https://nvr**********.test.fr

Regards

In addition to Gotify and Pushover, support for https://ntfy.sh/ would also be useful.

Documentation on how to publish a message: https://docs.ntfy.sh/publish/

Thank you.

Hi there!

First of all... thank you for everyone's hard work on this tool. I was dreading having to set up HA purely to enable for notifications for Frigate, so this was a godsend!

The question I have - I've successfully configured Pushover to receive notifications, everything is firing correctly, but I can't seem to adjust any parameters in the included message image snapshot (specifically I'm looking to include bounding boxes in the image).

I've tinkered with camera level MQTT settings as per frigate's documentation, but changes to any parameters there don't seem to take effect? Am I messing in the wrong place? I can't quite figure out where Pushover is grabbing screenshots from.

Again, I'm just looking to include a bounding box in the preview. If this is not available, so be it!

Thanks!

First things first, thanks for this amazing hassle free implementation and that I can avoid a enormous Home Assistant / HACS / Plugins / Notification setup with 30 moving parts !

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
What I would like to have is more grained filter options when to alert. As you can see in my screenshot I'm filtering by label=person, as this is a crowded place I dont want to get any notifications on day time. I'm using frigate with a Coral TPU and want to benefit from the detector information.

Describe the solution you'd like

• add more parameters to labels like probability >80%
• add a time range to filter detection time and only notify after 10pm until 6am for example

Additional context

Intro:
First of all, thanks a ton for such a useful tool that helps not to invent some weird overengineered integrations just to get notifications from the Frigate.

The original Frigate implementation allows to override the MQTT topic prefix: https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/blob/dev/docs/docs/configuration/reference.md?plain=1#L22-L24.

However, the code is currently fixed to the default topic name: https://github.com/0x2142/frigate-notify/blob/main/events/mqtt.go#L127.

Is it possible to relax this and allow the users to define their own topic_prefix through configuration, with the fallback to the "frigate"?

Thank you.

Describe the bug
I followed the instructions for the config but no matter what I try I can't get it to load the config file with my ntfy server enabled. I kind of expect the problem to be me doing something boneheaded but I can't figure it out so I am posting here.

Expected behavior
yaml doesn't fail to load config on a did not find expected key error and the software starts up and runs

To Reproduce
start up frigate-notify with my config.yml

Versions:

• Frigate NVR: 0.14.0-beta4
• Frigate-Notify: docker latest v0.3.2

Frigate-Notify Config:

frigate:
  server: http://frigatestable:5000
  ignoressl: true

  startup_check:
    attempts: 5
    interval: 30
  webapi:
    enabled: true
    interval: 30
alerts:

    timeformat: Mon, 02 Jan 2006 15:04:05 MST
    nosnap: allow

    ignoressl: false
    headers:
      - Authorization: Bearer tk_ihwgccyeaqpe086fzra0ymg9z7ffe
    template: {{ .Camera }} spotted {{ .Label }}

This works if I comment out ntfy: and everything below.

Additional context
If I disable ntfy: and below it works. line 20 is ntfy: according to nano. I really do think I am just doing something wrong here but I've tried a whole bunch of stuff and I can't figure out what I am doing wrong so I am posting as a bug in case it is a bug with the ntfy code.

Hi there,

Mostly loving this utility so far, definitely like not having to use HA for the notifications.

Anyway - I hardly ever receive notifications when there's cars or people. Dogs seem to work pretty much all the time.

Is this related to the /review project on Frigate v14? Is there anything I can do in the meantime so I get all notifications?

Thanks.

Hello

Can you add the feature for send trought a ntfy with user password ? (i have my personal ntfy)

Mathieu

Hello,
Would it be possible to add telegram to the list of notification methods please.

Describe the bug
After upgrade to v0.3.3, using unzoned: drop all notifications from Frigate are dropped and claimed as unzoned.

Expected behavior
Only unzoned events are dropped.

• Frigate-Notify: 0.3.3

Additional context
When removing unzoned from config, everything is notified, even when zone is not defined in "zones: -> allow: ...".
Seems there is some issue in notification filtering logic.
In log there is visible, that filters.go is missing the zone, it is suddenly empty.
In v 0.3.2 there was not such issue.

The documentation states that the frigate server property should get assigned the "IP or hostname of the Frigate NVR".

In reality this should be a URL.
In my case the value, which works and doesn't throw any warnings, is http://frigate-host:5000

Therefore the documentation should be extended.
Further, it may be a good idea to use frigate's default port 5000 in case no port number was provided in the URL.

a part from installing binary file do we need to install any other requirement?

I have two of my cameras configured to send notifications via Gotify, and they are working, but this morning I have gotten about 12 notifications that say a Person was detected on one of the cameras. When I click the Camera link in the notification, I see all the events for that camera, but there are not any events saved for today. The most recent event was yesterday evening and was a car.

So I'm not sure why these erroneous event notifications are being generated when there is actually no event in Frigate.

First, let me say thank you for creating this. While I am a HA user, I don't want frigate integrated to HA for reasons. This is something that was sorely missing from frigate and I'm really happy that you created and shared this.

 Please add documentation on how to debug this.
Is there a log file that can be accessed somewhere?

as a newb, I setup everything (config below), and when I got home expected to get notified that a person was detected. I got nothing. I used docker compose attach to see the log files, but the only thing I can see is:

2024/05/16 01:56:15 Event ID 1715824522.190759-8cy0nu - Camera LivingRoom detected person in zone(s): []
2024/05/16 01:56:15 Event ID 1715824522.190759-8cy0nu - Start time: 2024-05-16 01:55:22 +0000 UTC
2024/05/16 01:56:15 Event ID 1715824522.190759-8cy0nu - Zone already alerted, skipping...

Figuring I set things up wrong, I changed the config file. Noticed there was a new release, pulled and started the container
Once again, I get a screen filled with Zone already alerted, skipping....

I don't see any configuration to change the duration of an alerted zone. How long does it take to reset? How can I change it to be shorter? How can I reset the zone so I can hopefully see what's wrong and why the alerts didn't go out?

frigate:
  server: nope:5000
  ignoressl: true

  webapi:
    enabled: false
    interval: 30

  mqtt:
    enabled: true
    server: nope
    username: nope
    password: nope

  alerts:
    general:
      timeformat: Mon, 02 Jan 2006 15:04:05 PST
    labels:
      allow:
        - person
    zones:
      unzoned: allow

    pushover:
      enabled: true
      token: nope
      userkey: nope

    smtp:
      enabled: true
      server: mail.nope.net
      port: 587
      tls: true
      user: [email protected]
      password: nope
      recipient: [email protected]

To give users more flexibility, frigate-notify could allow them to specify the format of message using templating engines like Jinja2 or Go Templates.

There is an assumption, the user would like to define the individual template for each notifier type.
Since the frigate-notify uses YAML based single configuration file, the template could be built-in as a dedicated top-level configuration section. For example:

frigate:
...
alerts:
...
monitor:
...
template: # or message_template
  telegram: |
    {{ if .event }}
    Detection at {{ .event.StartTime }}
    Camera: {{ .event.Camera }}
    Label: {{ .event.Label }} {{ event.TopScore }}

    {{ if ge (len .event.Zones) 1 }}
    Zone(s): {{ .event.Zones }}
    {{ end }}

    Links: [Camera]({{ .config.ServerUri }}/cameras/{{ .event.Camera }})
    {{- if .event.HasClip }}
    | [Event Clip]({{ .config.ServerUri }}/api/events/{{ .event.ID }}/clip.mp4)
    {{ end }}
    {{ end }}
...

As usual, if no template is specified, a default template will take effect for a particular notifier.

Thank you.

It would be great if labels could be used to allow/block notifications like zones. Something like:

alerts:
  labels:
    allow:
     - person
    block:
     - dog

Love this implementation, so nice to see easier notifications outside of Home Assistant

My mqtt Settings do not allow anonymous users, how should I change the config?
