Control Frigate over its real-time /ws API

Set Global Notifications

AI-generated

Summary

Set Frigate’s global notifications toggle for all cameras by publishing the selected ON or OFF value to the notifications/set topic over the WebSocket API.

Inputs

  • Value (required) — Choose ON or OFF; defaults to ON.
  • Await State Confirmation — When enabled, wait for a matching read-back on notifications/state; defaults to false.
  • Confirmation Timeout (Ms) — How long to wait for the read-back, from 0 to 600000 ms; shown when confirmation is enabled and defaults to 5000 ms.

Output shape

One n8n item per input item, containing the operation, topic, payload, and published: true.

Without confirmation, the node returns after publishing. With confirmation, it also returns received, confirmed, stateTopic, and stateValue; confirmed indicates whether the read-back matches the requested value. A timeout can result in received: false and stateValue: null. Errors stop execution unless Continue On Fail is enabled.

Examples

Example 1: Enable global notifications

Set Value to ON and leave Await State Confirmation disabled.

Example 2: Confirm notifications are disabled

Set Value to OFF, enable Await State Confirmation, and optionally set the Confirmation Timeout (Ms).
