camera: camera.frigate_driveway

Just had a quick scan and I think the issue is you renamed your camera entity id which the automation relies on to match frigate.

To resolve this, edit the name of the camera in the automation yaml to camera.driveway instead.

from ha_blueprints.

So I can leave the camera entity as camera.frigate_driveway in Home Assistant, but edit automation.yaml and change it to camera.driveway?

I would really like to keep the entity_id 'namespaced' by keeping it prefixed with frigate within Home Assistant if possible

I think I might just rename the cameras in Frigate to match Home Assistant since this integration / blueprint seems so dependent on it. Maybe a future version could support a regex or something to align mqtt w/ entity_id.. I'll report back later to confirm that worked

Yes just need to have the automation correct.

This will work too.

As for other methods of matching, there's no way to automate it currently. People can name their entities however they want, the only way to tell the automation which mqtt messages to look for is manually saying the camera name. Or used to just be a test field but I changed it to the dropdown as it was fast simpler for most people.

There is a feature request for frigate to add the name as an attribute which will resolve this in the future if they implement it.
