Error when adding Frigate to Home Assistant Core via HACS: Error: Config flow could not be loaded

[bradfordjns]

Hello all,

I am currently running HA Core (2023.6.1) as a container on a Zimaboard with CasaOS. Additionally I have MQTT and Frigate containers that are correctly communicating between each other.

I installed the HACS integration and within HACS was able to add the Frigate integration. After a restart I want to then add/configure the integration get an error:

Settings> Devices and Services> Add integration> Frigate

Error: Config flow could not be loaded: 500 Internal Server Error Server got itself in trouble

In the log I have:

homeassistant.requirements.RequirementsNotFound: Requirements for frigate not found: [‘pytz==2022.7’].

Frigate Documentation

Other items to note:

• In HA I already have MQTT configured
• Frigate is connected to MQTT (within MQTT Explored I see the frigate topics)
• In Frigate I see the live IP Camera output

Any thoughts on this error?

Thanks!

homeassistant.requirements.RequirementsNotFound: Requirements for frigate not found: [‘pytz==2022.7’].

This is your problem, but unsure why pytz can’t or hasn’t been loaded. You have restarted home assistant?

[bradfordjns]

Fixed by adding the environment variables to my HA docker container as mentioned in:

DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/mods:universal-package-install
INSTALL_PIP_PACKAGES=pytz==2022.7

Setup failed for custom integration frigate: Requirements for frigate not found: ['pytz==2022.7'].

Are you using the linuxserver container? If so, why?

@blakeblackshear I believe explains this best in the github thread I posted to.

He doesn’t explain why someone would use the linuxserver image instead of the supported image.
