Right now I'm using Synology Surveillance Station, but I'd like to replace it (or just supplement it) with Frigate.
I've succeeded in setting Frigate up with two cameras and person detection turned on (though no Coral accelerator, so it's slow and ressource hungry), but now I can't figure out how to get Home Assistant notifications once a person is detected while my "Home Mode" toggle is turned off in home Assistant.
I'm not good at actually making things happen in HA. I've managed to make lights turn on and off via MQTT (output from RTL_433 which listens to some wireless light switches I have), but that's more or less it.
