Hi Guys, I have looked around for a Frigate forum section or Facebook group and there doesn’t seem to be one.
I am a new user of Frigate and I have it kind of working but it is slow and often clips are nor recorded.
In order to try and fix it, I bought a USB Coral Accelerator and am struggling to get it to pass through Proxmox. Plugging it into my NUC gives me a new port (2-3) but it just says “unplugged”
any ideas?
I think you need to pass the whole PCI device usb controller
Thank you for the suggestion, I’ve looked into that but a bit confused how to go about it. Do you have any pointers?
Mine says “unplugged” as well. But the port is passed through to the HassOS VM. And it also doesn’t gave a description. You can check in the command line with lsusb and eliminate devices which are sure to be something else. By the looks of it, you port 2-3 is correct.
Ofcourse.
Just google
PCI passthrough proxmox
Will try to find some links and paste here:
Obviously you are not passing GPU or coral, but to get the idea

Aaaaaaaaand the script for IMMOU group list:
#!/bin/bash
for d in $(find /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/ -type l | sort -n -k5 -t/); do
n=${d#*/iommu_groups/*}; n=${n%%/*}
printf 'IOMMU Group %s ' "$n"
lspci -nns "${d##*/}"
done;
Did now a complete different way. Installed Tiny Cam Monitor on the dashboard and open the app via tasker instead of a camera inside homeassistant.
It’s working much better.
Homeassistant and cameras is a mess.
PS: webrtc is the best solution inside homeassistant, but not reliable on my dashboard.
I just resetup my HA and I’m facing an issue, when using hardware accelleration. The cameras just show a green screen and
ffmpeg.Einfahrt.detect ERROR : Unknown decoder 'h264_mmal
I remember, that I needed to update the codec and/or change the config in the RPi4 root to activate hardware accelleration, but I cannot find the post anymore.
Can anybody help? Thank you so much. 
Good people of this thread, please be so kind go this link and vote for Feature Request. Thank you <3
i have this:

I’m having the same issue. There’s a note that you have to disable Protection Mode if using the Add-on (which I do) bit the problem (green screen) remains.
Hi Guys,
Anyone had success with installing and configuring this module? If so, can you please share the configuration?
I’m worried that I won’t be able to utilize it through ESXi
(running my HA using VM)

Didi
What a great idea, I voted!
I finally solved it for my config. I hope this works for you too:
ffmpeg:
hwaccel_args:
- '-c:v'
- h264_mmal
Changed to:
ffmpeg:
hwaccel_args:
- '-c:v'
- h264_v4l2m2m
I’m giving Frigate another shot but recently upgraded my Synology to DSM 7.0
It appears that DSM 7.0 limits the compatibility of USB devices and not Frigate doesn’t detect it.
Has anyone been able to get the USB Coral device to work with 7.0?
When I plug in the Coral, I get the following entry with lsusb
|__2-1 1a6e:089a:0100 00 3.10 5000MBit/s 896mA 1IF ( ffffffd1ffffffb2ffffffdbffffffad)
$ lsusb

the differences from sudo cat /dev/bus/usb/devices with the Coral plugged in vs. not plugged in shows

I read that modules needs to load manually. Search in Reddit channel. But I’m not sure does it help with Coral.
I’m getting on great with Frigate but I’m seeing a lot of repeated events with stationary objects e.g. vehicles parked on the street. Has anyone found a way of dealing with this?
Also, I’ve got a zone set up in my driveway… is there any way to treat this zone as a separate camera, for handing off snapshots to other integrations which monitor cameras and/or MQTT messages from Frigate (specifically, HASS-plate-recognizer and Double-Take for number plate & face recognition respectively). Or is there a better way to go about doing this?
Create an automation that sends clip to integration
You can use example for sending notification
Omfg after last update 7.0 the latest frigate addon is working like a freaking beast!!! Loading of the cameras and events are like instant !!! BZUUUUMMM !! NICE !!!
