Frigate not delivering event trigers

Rob8 · August 15, 2023, 2:28pm

I’m running frigate on an Intel NUC under proxmox in a separate LXC container.

I can not get detecting a person activated. Furthermore, I have tried many things. Hopefully, someone can help and point out what I am missing?

Thanks for your help!

I have the following config.yml file

How do you configure lxc?
Can frigate see coral and intel gpu?

Rob8 · August 15, 2023, 2:42pm

Yes, the Coral USB is working

IgorZg · August 15, 2023, 2:45pm

And intel gpu?

Rob8 · August 15, 2023, 2:56pm

Frigate werkte ook zonder Coral USB

I did recently setup frigate under ubuntu jammy unprotected proxmox lxc container and it wasn’t simple.
Here are my lxc configuration:

I am running it on Proxmox 8.0.4

Under datacenter also did resource mappings of the coral-usb

this is incorrect, host should not include mqtt://

Rob8 · August 15, 2023, 3:10pm

Thanks, I changed this. But is not solving the problem of not generation of any motion events.

eftimg · August 15, 2023, 3:16pm

Not sure if this is required but try adding …
client_id: frigate
To your mqtt section, right under topic_prefix

Rob8 · August 15, 2023, 3:22pm

To make it easier, I set enabled: False to cut out mqtt for a later stage.
Do you see anything wrong with the event detection? person, dog, cat, car

IgorZg · August 15, 2023, 3:23pm

There is my mqtt section of config if this can help:

mqtt: 
    host: 10.1.1.20
    user: username
    password: password
    topic_prefix: frigate
    client_id: frigate

Rob8 · August 15, 2023, 3:24pm

Thanks for sharing! do you have ’ ’ around your password phrase?

IgorZg · August 15, 2023, 3:25pm

No, I don’t.
If you suspect on mqtt I sugest to observe with MQTT Explorer.

Rob8 · August 15, 2023, 3:31pm

I disabled MQTT for now. Because events are not detected.

crzynik · August 15, 2023, 5:49pm

this is because you do not have recording or snapshots enabled, like the docs say one of these has to be enabled for events

flyize · August 15, 2023, 6:15pm

Isn’t MQTT a requirement?

edit: I’m wrong. It of course isn’t.

Rob8 · August 15, 2023, 6:52pm

Hi Nicolas,

Where do I add the recording or snapshot enabled? Hopefully, you can help out or point in the direction?

Thanks!

crzynik · August 15, 2023, 7:35pm

Rob8 · August 15, 2023, 7:41pm

Thanks Guys!

I followed Nicolas tips on recording and snapshots.
Searched the docs of Frigate

Next up is to connect my Proxmox LXC Frigate container first to another LXC container with my MQTT server and another VM with Homeassistant.
Any tips are welcome!

But, thanks for your great support!
