#Frigate Snapshot

I have an automation that sends a snapshot and the link to a camera stream to phones running the HA app when person is detected in a zone. Most of the time (96+%) it works fine. Occasionally it sends the most recent previous snapshot not the snapshot for the current detection. I added a 500 ms delay but it happened again. How I force a snapshot or force getting the most recent snapshot. I don't want to delay notifications

you'd need to use the /events or /reviews topic via mqtt to get the event id and pull it using the api

I'm not using mqtt, I use a HA event, but I do use the API

This has worked reliably until 14.x

we have had some people say similar but this part of the code was not changed and I can't reproduce so it is really not clear why the behavior changed. We are most likely doing to be redoing that part of the code in a future update

I've been trying to track down what's maybe a similar issue where I get a trigger from the "events" or "reviews" topics, but I get an "event not found" when I try to send a notification with the thumbnail and clip via the HA API endpoint. I can reproduce it when I try to visit the endpoint from my browser, but (sometimes?) the thumbnail/clip eventually become available. It's like there's a race condition or delay that results in sending the "new" message before the media is available. It's annoying to track down because it works fine about 60% of the time for me, and then (sometimes? all the time?) when I try to reproduce the failure in a browser later

Yeah. I'm not even sure how to debug this. I suspect that some times the current snapshot is delayed and that's why I get the previous snapshot.

#

the API calls are something like /api/frigate/notifications/1726524531.903407-wxxp1m/thumbnail.jpg that include the timestamp and what appears to be a random string, so it seems unlikely that there would be a conflict

The same automation was bulletproof with Frigate 0.13, but has been very hit-or-miss with 0.14. If the code didn't change, I don't know why it would behave differently for me

eternal oxide
#

you aren't alone so it is clear something happened, but it really doesn't make sense what

#

0.15 reworks some things so it is possible it is already fixed

analog hill
#

Maybe I'll try that and see if it helps

#

Sometimes I see the media on my iPhone, but not on my Apple Watch, which I think retrieves it separately
