## MQTT Messages
These are the MQTT messages generated by Frigate. The default topic_prefix is `frigate`, but can be changed in the config file.
### frigate/available
Designed to be used as an availability topic with HomeAssistant. Possible message are:
"online": published when frigate is running (on startup)
"offline": published right before frigate stops
### frigate/<camera_name>/<object_name>
Publishes `ON` or `OFF` and is designed to be used a as a binary sensor in HomeAsistant for whether or not that object type is detected.
### frigate/<camera_name>/<object_name>/snapshot
Publishes a jpeg encoded frame of the detected object type. When the object is no longer detected, the highest confidence image is published or the original image
is published again.
### frigate/<camera_name>/events/start
Message published at the start of any tracked object. JSON looks as follows:

Models for both CPU and EdgeTPU (Coral) are bundled in the image. You can use your own models with volume mounts:
