I have updated the doc/CameraActions.md file in the tree with an example of how a ThingAction can be triggered to fire a new event. All of the implemented camera ThingActions to date are documented here.
Thanks so much for this. Frigate seems to be such thoughtful and well designed code it is great to see it being supported here.
Iām having an issue, with 4.1.1 and the newly released .jar file running in docker. The bridge flaps between online and offline every few minutes:

During the overnight stretch I disabled the server to not generate alerts.
Where should I start troubleshooting? Might it have something to do with the MQTT client ID? I changed in the thing configuration but it wouldnāt start as a result. I know MQTT gets funny with duplicate IDsā¦
Interesting - this behaviour would suggest a problem with the keepalive. Do you only have the one Frigate camera āThingā? What is the Frigate server āThingā and the MQTT bridge doing: do they stay online?
During the period over which the camera Thing is online, does it generate valid data on its channels?
I have set up 5 cameras, but Iām just getting started so I can easily reduce to one for testing purposes.
It appears that when the server thing restarts it is sending old/retained data, I think. It was a busy weekend so I havenāt had much time to look into it but plan on doing so once I get my day started here today.

Iām guessing it has to do with docker networkingā¦the keepalive must not be able to reach? Iād love to have all these services on the same docker network, but UPNP needs to be on the host for my Sonos setup
It could be to do with docker if this somehow interferes with HTTP between the server āthingā and the Frigate server - and this could cause issues with the keepalive. I know very little about docker as I donāt use it (except for the pre-packaged Frigate version).
If you turn on debug logging (best to switch off all the live image streams if you do this as these will flood the log) it might help.
Welp, that wasnāt it. From the shell in the OpenHAB container:

It looks like there is some problem accessing the Frigate HTTP API from the binding. The line " ```
TimeoutException: Call to Frigate Server timed out after 100 msec" suggests that the call is timing out. Now this could be simply that your configuration canāt respond in 100ms and this perhaps may be down to some of the docker networking stuff?
In v2.0 of the binding you can increase this timeout. In the āAdvancedā configuration of the server āThingā you will find a configuration parameter āFrigate API HTTP timeout (ms)ā. By default this is 100ms. Try increasing it and see if the problem disappears.
I thought it was working but it timed out after 1000ms. Data is flowing while it is working, and the frigate container looks to be in good shape. Maybe Iāll try messing with shm size in the docker container.
This is looking like it is something to do with your specific configuration. The binding is not receiving the response to the version query (which is used to determine if the HTTP API on Frigate is up) within the timeout, causing the server Thing to offline the cameras.
Still havenāt sorted this out (busy week) but some findings:
My home and business are connected via a tailscale site-to-site VPN. Both have OH and Frigate running in docker containers.
I can point the home OH to the biz Frigate and it eventually times out as well
but
I can point the biz OH to the home Frigate and it works fine
The biz OH instance is about 10x simpler than the home one.
I wonder if I need to adjust a java memory setting or something? I might rip all things and items out, remove binding, reboot and start again?
Iām no expert on Java configuration, or docker, but this doesnāt look like an issue with the binding itself, especially if you can communicate in one direction but not the other. It may indeed be worth playing with the VM settings to try and narrow this down further.
My apologies if this was already answered, but does this binding require OpenHab 4+?
I installed the binding and am on OpenHab 3.4.3 and it does not go into Active mode.
So Iām wondering if the problem is my version
The binding is build against 4.1.1.
See Releases Ā· jgow/org.openhab.binding.mqtt.frigatesvr Ā· GitHub
Hello @jgow is the binding compatible with the upcoming version 0.14 and can you please create it directly against oh 4.2?
You should now find a version built against OH v4.2.0 in the āReleasesā section on Github

Thanks, the binding also works for me with OH 4.2.1 and Frigate 0.14.
Thanks for the binding - I just found it while searching for Frigate integration into OpenHAB.
Are there any plans to commit this binding to the mainline for easier access via the UI?
Thereās a pre-built jar available now, built against OH 4.2.
