Help with Double Take & Frigate Integration in Home Assistant

Configuration

Hi everyone,

I’ve successfully installed Double Take, Frigate, and Home Assistant, each running in separate Docker containers. Everything is integrated and working well, except for one thing that I can’t figure out.

Double Take is correctly identifying persons from the camera feeds, but I’m not sure how to get these identifications to show up as entities in Home Assistant. Ideally, I’d like to see recognized faces (or at least detection events) as entities, but I’m not sure what the best way to achieve this is.

For clarity, Double Take is already running outside of Home Assistant, so I don’t think I need to install it within HA.

Has anyone set up something similar? Is there an MQTT configuration or another integration that I might be missing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi, yes you need to configure it with MQTT, after that the detections will show up as entities, if you have like person1 trained inside double take, it will create sensor.double_take_person1 entitie.

add this to your doubletake configuration file:

mqtt:
  host: yourMQTTip
  user: yourMQTTuser
  password: yourMQTTpassword
