I’ve started a small GitHub repository for Home Assistant snippets and projects that are useful enough to share, but don’t really justify becoming full integrations or HACS projects.
The first two are both Frigate GenAI related.
Frigate GenAI Event Browser
This adds a simple event browser to a Home Assistant dashboard using Frigate’s frigate/reviews MQTT events.
It stores the 10 most recent GenAI results and lets you browse through them using Previous / Latest / Next controls.
It displays:
- Frigate review thumbnail
- GenAI title
- Scene description
- Camera and event time
- Threat level where applicable
- AI confidence where applicable
It’s provider-neutral, so it doesn’t matter whether Frigate is using Ollama, Gemini or another supported GenAI provider.
Full YAML, package/manual installation and screenshot are in the repo:
Frigate GenAI with Ollama Cloud
I’ve also documented the setup I’m now using to run Frigate GenAI through Ollama Cloud.
I’m using a small separate Ubuntu machine running Ollama as the local API endpoint:
Frigate → local Ollama host → Ollama Cloud → vision model
This means the Ollama machine doesn’t need the hardware to run the vision model locally.
The guide covers installing Ollama, cloud authentication, LAN access, Frigate configuration, testing and optional Ollama Cloud usage monitoring in Home Assistant.
Repository
Both live here:
It’s a new repo, so there are only these two snippets at the moment, but I’ll add other Home Assistant bits as I build things that seem worth sharing.
Feedback, improvements and bug reports are welcome.
