well there’s your problem, you’re trying to give it the home assistant frontend as the mqtt host which is incorrect. It also should not include the protocol

it should be host: ha_ip

tried

host: ha_ip:1883
host: mqtt://core-mosquitto:1883
host: 192.168.68.52:8123
host: 192.168.68.52:1883

whit all them I don’t get the first message only the next one.

Thanks, unknow how and why but whit this and swapping to other username and password I have.
Suddenly it works.

now on the hund to get also image to my phone when object is found. Than time limit, because now I get 4x message that object has been found.

First job today was getting frigate working. and than the other thing was getting notification working.

After similar connection issue like above, I separated port from host and can confirm this helped in my case:

mqtt:
enabled: True
host: core-mosquitto
port: 1883
user: XXXXXXX
password: YYYYYY
