Do 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.

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.
