Go to **Settings → Automations → Blueprints** to use them:\r\n\r\n| Blueprint | Purpose |\r\n|---|---|\r\n| Child Danger Zone Alert | Alert when child enters a dangerous zone without supervision |\r\n| Unknown Person Alert | Alert when an unrecognised person is detected |\r\n| Supervision Detection | Template binary sensor for child supervision tracking |\r\n| Vehicle with Children Outside | Alert when vehicle detected and children are outside |\r\n| Notification Action Handlers | Handle \"Adult Present\" and \"View Camera\" notification buttons |\r\n\r\n## Dashboard\r\n\r\nA dedicated Lovelace dashboard (`/lovelace/frigate-identity`) is auto-generated and updated. It includes:\r\n\r\n- Header with person tracker status\r\n- Person cards grouped by HA Area (or flat layout if no areas assigned)\r\n- Each person card shows: snapshot, location, zones, confidence, source, last seen\r\n- Children's cards include a supervised status row\r\n\r\nThe dashboard regenerates automatically when:\r\n- New persons are discovered\r\n- HA Area assignments change\r\n- Daily at a configurable time (default 03:00)\r\n\r\nTo manually refresh: call the `frigate_identity.regenerate_dashboard` service.\r\n\r\n## Configuration\r\n\r\n### Config Flow\r\n\r\nAll settings are configured via the UI:\r\n\r\n| Setting | Default | Description |\r\n|---|---|---|\r\n| MQTT topic prefix | `identity` | Prefix for MQTT topics (e.g., `identity/person/#`) |\r\n| Snapshot source | `mqtt` | `mqtt`, `frigate_api`, or `frigate_integration` |\r\n| Auto-generate dashboard | `true` | Automatically create/update the dedicated dashboard |\r\n| Dashboard refresh time | `03:00` | Daily dashboard refresh time (HH:MM) |\r\n| Dashboard name | `Kids` | Sidebar title used for the dedicated Lovelace dashboard |\r\n\r\nChange settings any time via **Settings → Integrations → Frigate Identity → Configure**.\r\n\r\n### Person Profile Services\r\n\r\nUse Home Assistant services to mark children and define safe zones directly from HA.\r\n\r\n#### `frigate_identity.update_person_profile`\r\n\r\nFields:\r\n- `person_name` (required): Person display name\r\n- `is_child` (optional): `true` for child, `false` for adult\r\n- `safe_zones` (optional): list of Frigate zone names where the child can be unsupervised\r\n\r\nExample service call:\r\n\r\n```yaml\r\nservice: frigate_identity.update_person_profile\r\ndata:\r\n  person_name: Alice\r\n  is_child: true\r\n  safe_zones:\r\n    - safe_play_area\r\n    - patio\r\n```\r\n\r\n#### `frigate_identity.update_child_safe_zones`\r\n\r\nBackward-compatible alias for updating safe zones only.\r\n\r\n```yaml\r\nservice: frigate_identity.update_child_safe_zones\r\ndata:\r\n  person_name: Alice\r\n  safe_zones:\r\n    - safe_play_area\r\n\r\n## Services\r\n\r\nThe integration registers these Home Assistant services:\r\n\r\n| Service | Purpose |\r\n|---|---|\r\n| `frigate_identity.regenerate_dashboard` | Force dashboard regeneration immediately |\r\n| `frigate_identity.get_registry_status` | Log current person registry state for troubleshooting |\r\n| `frigate_identity.set_debug_mode` | Publish debug on/off command to Frigate Identity Service |\r\n| `frigate_identity.clear_embeddings` | Request full embedding-store clear in Frigate Identity Service |\r\n| `frigate_identity.update_person_profile` | Set child/adult status and safe zones for a person |\r\n| `frigate_identity.update_child_safe_zones` | Backward-compatible alias for safe-zones-only updates |\r\n```\r\n\r\nExample service call from Developer Tools:\r\n\r\n```yaml\r\nservice: frigate_identity.clear_embeddings\r\ndata:\r\n  reason: manual reset from HA Developer Tools\r\n```\r\n\r\n## Snapshot Sources\r\n\r\n| Mode | Snapshot entity | Needs Frigate integration | Needs MQTT camera config |\r\n|---|---|---|---|\r\n| `mqtt` *(default)* | `camera.frigate_identity_\u003cname\u003e_snapshot` | No | Automatic |\r\n| `frigate_api` | `image.frigate_identity_\u003cname\u003e_snapshot_image` | No | No |\r\n| `frigate_integration` | `image.\u003cperson\u003e_person` | Yes | No |\r\n\r\n## MQTT Topics\r\n\r\nThe integration subscribes to these topics (prefix is configurable):\r\n\r\n| Topic | Purpose |\r\n|---|---|\r\n| `identity/person/#` | Person identification events (JSON) |\r\n| `identity/snapshots/{person}` | Cropped JPEG snapshots per person |\r\n\r\n**Message format:**\r\n```json\r\n{\r\n  \"person_id\": \"Alice\",\r\n  \"camera\": \"backyard\",\r\n  \"confidence\": 0.94,\r\n  \"source\": \"facial_recognition\",\r\n  \"frigate_zones\": [\"safe_play_area\"],\r\n  \"event_id\": \"1708286380-abc\",\r\n  \"timestamp\": 1708286400000,\r\n  \"snapshot_url\": \"http://frigate:5000/api/events/1708286380-abc/thumbnail.jpg?crop=1\"\r\n}\r\n```\r\n\r\n## Installation\r\n\r\n### HACS (Recommended)\r\n\r\n1. Open HACS → Integrations\r\n2. Click ⋮ menu → **Custom repositories**\r\n3. Add `https://github.com/awayman/frigate-identity-ha`, category **Integration**\r\n4. Click **Install** → **Restart Home Assistant**\r\n5. **Settings → Integrations → Add → Frigate Identity**\r\n\r\n### Manual Installation\r\n\r\nCopy the `custom_components/frigate_identity` folder to your HA config directory, restart HA, then add via Settings → Integrations.\r\n\r\n## Troubleshooting\r\n\r\n### Integration not showing sensors\r\n\r\n1. Verify MQTT is configured and the identity service is publishing\r\n2. Check the MQTT topic prefix matches (default: `identity`)\r\n3. Enable debug logging:\r\n   ```yaml\r\n   logger:\r\n     logs:\r\n       custom_components.frigate_identity: debug\r\n   ```\r\n\r\n### Dashboard not appearing\r\n\r\n1. Dashboard auto-generation requires Lovelace in storage mode (the default)\r\n2. Call `frigate_identity.regenerate_dashboard` service to force refresh\r\n3. Check HA logs for dashboard push errors\r\n\r\n### Debug Logging\r\n\r\n```yaml\r\nlogger:\r\n  logs:\r\n    homeassistant.components.mqtt: debug\r\n    custom_components.frigate_identity: debug\r\n```\r\n\r\n## Support\r\n\r\n- **Integration issues**: [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/awayman/frigate-identity-ha/issues)\r\n- **Service issues**: [frigate_identity_service](https://github.com/awayman/frigate_identity_service/issues)\r\n\r\n## License\r\n\r\nSee [LICENSE](LICENSE) file for details.\r\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fawayman%2Ffrigate-identity-ha","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fawayman%2Ffrigate-identity-ha","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fawayman%2Ffrigate-identity-ha/lists"}
