Frigate-Notify is a lightweight Go application that forwards event notifications from a standalone Frigate NVR to a variety of notification endpoints. It can consume events via MQTT or directly from the Frigate API and dispatch alerts to many services either natively or through the Apprise API.
Key Features
- Event ingestion via MQTT or direct Frigate API polling
- Multiple notification outputs: Discord, Gotify, Matrix, Mattermost, Ntfy, Pushover, Signal, SMTP, Telegram, Webhook and many more via Apprise
- Lightweight Go binary with official Docker image for easy deployment
- YAML-based configuration with an example config file for mapping events to notification targets
- Aliveness probe via HTTP GET to integrate with uptime/healthcheck tools
- Designed for standalone Frigate installations; Home Assistant not required
Use Cases
- Send instant alerts from a home or small-business Frigate NVR to chat apps and mobile push services
- Integrate Frigate events into automation pipelines or incident workflows via webhooks or Apprise-backed endpoints
- Monitor Frigate health using the built-in aliveness endpoint combined with uptime checks
Limitations and Considerations
- Configuration is file-based (YAML); there is no built-in web UI for managing notification rules
- Some notification channels rely on external services or the Apprise API, which may require additional setup or credentials
Frigate-Notify is suited for users who want a simple, container-friendly bridge from Frigate events to many notification endpoints. It emphasizes lightweight operation and wide integration coverage rather than a graphical management interface.
