Car nitification but no events

[B0ndo2]

Describe the problem you are having

I setup automation to notify me when car drives to/from the driveway and it has been working for some time but now after upgrading I get notifications and when I tap them on my phone I get "Forbidden" message.

If I go into events there is no event for a car !

frigate doesn't handle notifications so that would likely be an issue with the notification automation

[B0ndo2]

I understand that it doesn't handle notification but the automation picks the information from the message queue which means there is an event but there isn't. I didn't change anything except an upgrade

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/frigate-mobile-app-notifications-2-0/559732

[NickM-27]

an event is just a period of time where an object was detected, it can exist for a notification but not have met the criteria to be saved and shown in the UI

there's not really enough info here to know what happened

[B0ndo2]

I am open to providing information, the problem is that car detection in general is not as good as the 0.12 version for some reason

[NickM-27]

nothing has changed in terms of the model that is used by default. Maybe your motion detection isn't sensitive or something else is going on, only way to know for sure is to watch the debug live view

[B0ndo2]

Looking at the debug window, I see the car detected but nothing gets recorded. I also see the CPU usage increased considerably from the previous version which tells me something changed.

[NickM-27]

I also see the CPU usage increased considerably from the previous version which tells me something changed.

motion detection changed, which was listed in the release notes. There is a walkthrough on the docs for how to tune it https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/motion_detection

[B0ndo2]

Here is what is happening I get notification with a snapshot but when i tap it i get the following

{"message":"Event not found","success":false}

And now there is no event recorded, this never happened with the previous version I also have no car notification or event which was there before. Looking at the debug window, the car was detected

[B0ndo2]

An example the car on the right wasbacking up on the driveway. Debug window shows it was detected not no event recorded

[NickM-27]

If no event was recorded either the object didn't enter the required zone or didn't score high enough. I see you have two required zones and don't see other of them in the camera view but maybe they're disabled.

[B0ndo2]

Do You See The Last Photo I shared? 77% score for a car. I haven't changed a thing except upgrading to the latest release. It intermittently works, sometimes it picks objects since the last update

[NickM-27]

What do your zones look like?

[Frazou1]

I have the same problem you describe. Any chance of result ?

[tismofied]

I thought I was the only one. I am facing the same issue with only one of my cameras. All configs are the same including the automations. in my case however, the event is there.
