- ticulatedspline 1y agoDo you know of any good Soup-To-Nuts tutorial "for dummies" on such a setup? Finally getting some secure home monitoring/automation has bubbled up as a priority and I've started looking at Home Assistant but even for someone with some technical background the learning curve combined with the sheer breadth of options is overwhelming.
- Aspos 1y agoTry following this: https://chatgpt.com/share/6893f888-8a70-800c-ad8a-0987257b9335 https://chatgpt.com/share/6893f888-8a70-800c-ad8a-0987257b93... In frigate, add this to the top of your configuration file: mqtt: enabled: true host: IP_ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_HOMEASSISTANT port: 1883 topic_prefix: frigate user: USERNAME_YOU_CREATED_FOR_MQTT password: PASSOWRD_YOU_CREATED_FOR_MQTT Frigate will start sending various messages to Homeassistant. Go to HA, go to MQTT settings and listen to a topic frigate/# Observe the messages, pick the one which suits your needs. Follow this for an example: https://chatgpt.com/share/6893fd1c-2940-800c-a358-a840029e6e62 https://chatgpt.com/share/6893fd1c-2940-800c-a358-a840029e6e... You dont really need to add the HA automation via yaml, you can click it through manually.
