Set Snapshots
AI-generatedSummary
Turn snapshots on or off for a Frigate camera by publishing the selected value to its /snapshots/set WebSocket topic. Optionally wait for the matching /snapshots/state read-back and report whether it confirms the requested value.
Inputs
- Camera (required) — Camera name as configured in Frigate; used to form the topic
<camera>/snapshots/set. - Value (required) — Choose
ONorOFFfor snapshot capture. - Await State Confirmation — When enabled, keep the WebSocket open after publishing and wait for the camera’s
/snapshots/statemessage. - Confirmation Timeout (Ms) — Wait duration in milliseconds for the read-back, from 0 to 600000; shown when state confirmation is enabled. Defaults to 5000 ms.
Output shape
One output item per input item, containing operation details as JSON.
Without confirmation, the output includes
operation,topic,payload, andpublished: true. With confirmation enabled, it also includesreceived,confirmed,stateTopic, andstateValue; a timeout yieldsreceived: false,confirmed: false, andstateValue: null. The node sends the change over Frigate’s/wsAPI using its configured credentials.
