Fregata 0.18.2.1

[nulledy]

Built on Frigate v0.18.2

New Features

• Native HomeKit and HomeKit Secure Video support is here! Users no longer need to run other solutions like Scrypted alongside Fregata for Apple HomeKit and HKSV support!
  Fregata now includes full support for:
  • HomeKit - View your cameras in the Apple Home app. Use camera events to trigger HomeKit automations such as turning on a front porch light when a person is detected by the front porch camera. Control Fregata object detection with HomeKit switches.
  • HomeKit Secure Video (Legacy HKSV) - Apple's original protocol for storing end-to-end encrypted camera recordings in iCloud. Records H.264 cameras and the maximum resolution is 1080P (Apple's limits). Requires an iCloud+ plan for recordings.
  • iOS 27 HomeKit Secure Video (HKSV3) - Apple's new protocol for storing end-to-end encrypted camera recordings in iCloud. Records H.265 cameras at any resolution (Apple's limits). Requires an iCloud+ plan for recordings.
  • Everything is set up from the Web UI, including QR Code pairing.
  • Camera streams are transcoded by the Mac's Media Engine automatically when necessary to support Apple's limits and expected stream formats.
  • Read the docs: https://docs.fregata.app/guides/apple-home/

What's Changed

• Fix a bug where stats collection could fail getting CPU stats
• Fix a bug where recording cleanup could fail trying to delete tens of thousands of recording clips at once, such as when changing your retention setting from a large number of days to a much smaller number of days
• Fix a bug where old video preview frames could get stuck in the RAM disk unnecessarily
• Include whether a Fregata update is available in /api/stats (used for Fregata Mobile to notify admin users a server update is available)
• Fix 3 rare crashes seen in telemetry data
• Fix Apple Intelligence GenAI context size for older Macs like M1 that Apple gives smaller context windows
• Backup config.yaml on every clean shutdown, saving 7 copies to help in configuration error recovery
• Fix a bug that prevented specific go2rtc streams from being supported by Adaptive Transcoding
• Fix a bug that caused a user with 129 cameras to have excessive CPU usage and missing preview frames due to hitting the macOS pipe memory limit. Fregata can now handle ~250 cameras before hitting this limit
• Add cache busting to the Web UI's string translations to prevent missing/incorrect text after updating to a new version
