I am running HomeAssistnat on a VirtualBox.
When attempting to add Frigate through HACS I am unable to connect the integration to http://ccab4aaf-frigate:5000 (getting the famed, red “failed to connect” error).
All ports are open on the hosting machine and no firewalls are blocking the desired ports.
I tried connecting to http://ccab4aaf-frigate:5000 manually and nothing responded.
If I attempt to install Frigate using Add-Ons things work well. Though I then don’t have the front end integration that allows me to use the sensors and triggers.
Only thing I can think of is that the HACS install is not running the Frigate container. So the HA integration has nothing to connect to.
I tried installing the HACS Frigate AFTER installing the working Add-On and then the integration did work and connected to http://ccab4aaf-frigate:5000.
Though that seems like a mess waiting to happen.
I am using the same frigate.yaml file for all experiments.
Any ideas?
