Frigate Integration, Failed to connect message

Third party integrations
1

I have installed Proxmox on an Dell Optiplex 3070, I then install Frigate in a docker which is in an LCX container. Friagate works and can access Frigate dashboard via my Web Browser in https//192.168.1.78:8971.
I currently have HA running on a Pi4, I have installed the Frigate Integration but it fails to connect. I am using the same URL as per the Frigate instruction

Any ideas what I am missing?

Just guessing an “s”

Thanks, but tried many permutations including so and Port 5000.

Ok then back to basics.

You do have MQTT running?

You have read the docs?

https://docs.frigate.video/integrations/home-assistant

Mine uses this format

https://192.168.1.117:8971

I have looked at that doc page several times

I have this in my Frigate Config File

mqtt:
  enabled: true
  host: 192.168.1.75
  user: hauser   # optional
  password: xxxxxxxxx

  
detectors:
  ov_0:
    type: openvino
    device: GPU

model:
  width: 300
  height: 300
  input_tensor: nhwc
  input_pixel_format: bgr
  path: /openvino-model/ssdlite_mobilenet_v2.xml
  labelmap_path: /openvino-model/coco_91cl_bkgr.txt




ffmpeg:
  hwaccel_args: preset-vaapi

cameras:
  doorbell_camera: # <------ Name the camera

My HA MQTT Logs shows

2026-02-07 15:48:42: New connection from 192.168.1.78:50621 on port 1883.
2026-02-07 15:48:42: New client connected from 192.168.1.78:50621 as frigate (p2, c1, k60, u'hauser').

But its not showing as a devive under MQTT Devices

blakeblackshear/frigate · Discussions · GitHub is the official Frigate support hub and is another good place to get help with Frigate if you don’t get an answer here.

Finally sorted it, needed to add Port 5000 to my docker-compose.yml file.

You then connect in the integration using http://192.168.1.78:5000

All the chatgpt and videos show you connection via 5000 but the Frigate documentation says 8971
