Set Detect
AI-generatedSummary
Turns object detection ON or OFF for a Frigate camera by publishing to its /detect/set WebSocket topic. Optionally waits for the camera’s /detect/state read-back and reports whether it matches the requested value.
Inputs
- Camera (required) — Camera name as configured in Frigate.
- Value (required) — Choose ON or OFF; defaults to ON.
- Await State Confirmation — When enabled, wait for a matching
/detect/stateread-back after publishing. Defaults to false. - Confirmation Timeout (Ms) — When confirmation is enabled, how long to wait for the read-back, from 0 to 600000 ms; defaults to 5000 ms.
Output shape
A single n8n item per input item, with operation, topic, payload, and published fields; when confirmation is enabled, also includes received, confirmed, stateTopic, and stateValue.
Publishes the requested value to
<camera>/detect/set. Confirmation listens for the next matching state message; if none arrives before the timeout,receivedandconfirmedare false andstateValueis null. Errors stop execution unless Continue On Fail is enabled, in which case that item contains an error field.
