Are you certain that frigate and home assistant are connected to the same mqtt server? Is frigate set to use a password when connecting to mqtt?

[Pascal66]

Sure. I've all mqtt msg with mqtt. I've all mqtt test But my autmation doesnt read anything :)

[blakeblackshear]

Have you tried using something like MQTT Explorer? If you don't have any errors in the logs for Frigate, I don't know why this one mqtt topic would be failing.

[Pascal66]

Yes mqtt explorer is working well

[blakeblackshear]

Then Frigate is firing mqtt events fine. Do you see error messages in Home Assistant's log? Have you added the mqtt integration for Home Assistant? Not sure why Home Assistant wouldn't get the messages unless it isn't connected.

[Pascal66]

No errors, I've mosquitto broker in hass , wich work fine, i'm searching for a simpler automation, I've tested with 'core-mosquitto' or '192.168.1.xx', same result (as no result) I've nodered in hass wich is working well with mqtt

[Pascal66]

Modified things, and now I've an error ! 👍 (that's better...
