I am so down! I been looking at sites, posts, examples, videos for 2 wks and STILL no good results!
Everything in the HA logbook says “turned off” or ‘unavailable’! NOTHING i do can fix it!
Frigate server, MQTT, my cameras, EVERYTHING!!!
How to get this working? I’m about to give up for the 1st time in my life!
I can see the cams in Frigate. They record one in a blue moon but look like have completed stopped recording ANYTHING for days now! I cannot turn on ANYTHING on these entities! NOTHING!
After all this time, all i have is the cams in Frigate, but logs look like they are not connected to frigaet, and the logbook says Frigate Server Turned Off. I’m totally bummed out!

Kinda no clue what problem your having but maybe Frigate not working? What version. Learned yesterday the latest 13 beta versions broke the integration and stopped my recordings. 12.1 is OK however.
Your config is missing link for cams and how is go2rtc configured
EDIT
Should have specified the version problem was issue with my install not all frigate/HA integrations. Switching to beta13 caused me issue since I didn’t also change to beta integration i believe. Thought OP may also have similar mismatch or version relevant problem.
I have those in my config for all 3 cams. I can see all 3 cams in the frigate browser. I saw some recordings too, but that stopped working after a day or 2. Even then, there were only 1 or 2 or 3 recordings per cam for days. Now there’s nothing! I copied someone’s config that he said worked nicely, changed to suit my cams, could see the cams in the frigate browser, but only cam said it was recording. The other 2 had the same exact configs (except for the rtsp address), but would NEVER say recording! It mad NO SENSE why not!!! THE CONFIGS WERE EXACTLY THE SAME! ALL 3 WYZE CAMS (Don’t laugh at me! Have to use Wyze for now. 2 Wyze cam v3 and 1 Pan v1.)
The Pan was the only one that said it was recording in that last scenario I mentioned. (it did record 2 things), but the 2 Cam V3’s said “make sure you have recording setup” (or something like that) even though they had the same copy/pasted configs. WHT?!?!?!
I saw soooooo many configs that ppl said was working for them. Almost none were using a detector setting. I did see the frigate logs say that it’s not advisable to use CPU, and I don’t have a Coral. Only found out about it while trying to build this. Don’t want to buy one if I can’t make this work. They are NOT cheap in Canada. NOTHING IS!
the CPU detector is used by default, there is no requirement to define a detector for frigate to work and accept the config; though CPU detectors are not recommended for more than testing purposes
@kojam the best way to get help is to post the actual logs you are seeing in frigate, otherwise you will get lots of guesses that have nothing to do with the actual problem.
