Frigate Home Assistant Integration

Frigate Home Assistant Integration connects Frigate, an AI-powered network video recorder, with Home Assistant. It allows Home Assistant users to bring Frigate camera entities, object detection events, sensors, and media access into their smart home dashboard. The integration is commonly installed through HACS, but it still requires Home Assistant configuration after installation. It depends on MQTT, because Frigate communicates many of its events and states through that channel. Users can also enable Home Assistant’s media source support to browse Frigate media from the Home Assistant interface. The project is especially useful for people building local-first camera monitoring systems with object detection, automations, and smart home alerts.
