[Support]: Unable to toggle off (and on) detect recordings and snapshots, in both Frigate and HassOS.

[aghtooke]

Describe the problem you are having

Unable to toggle off (and on) detect recordings and snapshots, in both Frigate and HassOS. Everything works well but this. The buttons in Frigate don't respond and the entities in HA just say unavailable. They used to work in previous versions.

# Optional: Motion configuration
# NOTE: Can be overridden at the camera level
motion:
  # Optional: The threshold passed to cv2.threshold to determine if a pixel is different enough to be counted as motion. (default: shown below)
  # Increasing this value will make motion detection less sensitive and decreasing it will make motion detection more sensitive.
  # The value should be between 1 and 255.
  threshold: 30
  # Optional: Minimum size in pixels in the resized motion image that counts as motion (default: ~0.17% of the motion frame area)

  # moving objects.
  #contour_area: 100
  # Optional: Alpha value passed to cv2.accumulateWeighted when averaging the motion delta across multiple frames (default: shown below)

  # Too low and a fast moving person wont be detected as motion.
  #delta_alpha: 0.2
  # Optional: Alpha value passed to cv2.accumulateWeighted when averaging frames to determine the background (default: shown below)
  # Higher values mean the current frame impacts the average a lot, and a new object will be averaged into the background faster.
  # Low values will cause things like moving shadows to be detected as motion for longer.

  #frame_alpha: 0.2
  # Optional: Height of the resized motion frame  (default: 1/6th of the original frame height, but no less than 180)

Everything else is working well. I can see snapshots and records in HA media browser. The Frigate lovelace card is also working well.

I forgot to say thank you for such an awesome NVR solution. Very cool @blakeblackshear!

[aghtooke]

Ah! Commented out the port number on my config file and it works! Thanks again for the rad platform!

[Gerben321]

Seems like I have the same. Which port number in which config did you commented out?

They commented out port: 8123 since the default MQTT port is 1883.
