👍🏼👏🏼thank you, your video is a real gem. I never expected we can update the bundled go2rtc version by ourselves. Will try that tomorrow, as well as adding audio to my cameras.
Thanks! I had no audio and no mic icon showing after enabling it in the card. After changing 'Live view provider for this camera' (in Cameras tab of the card) to 'go2rtc' it works perfect. Thanks!
This was very helpful. The WebRTC card, Go2rtc, rtsptowebrtc all mixed up has been very confusing. It's kinda nice everything is packaged neatly in one addon. Had a hell of a time getting it to work, since i didn't know i had to disable webRTC camera before installing Frigate.
Thanks a lot for your instruction Been able to add My Doorbell to Frigate and learn new stuff dooing it! Been looking for a wihile for a WORKING config! Messing around when its the first time its very hard! 🍻
Thanks for sharing this. 👍I've learned that you are only using the "h264Preview_01_sub" preview channel (being the "Fluent" stream in Reolink) both for recording and detection. I was under the assumption of using "h264Preview_01_main" (the "Clear" stream in Reolink) for recording and "h264Preview_01_sub" for detection. 🤔 What's your take on this? And in respect to this question, what are youre resolution, frame rate, max bit rate and interframe space settings in the Relolink Stream configuration? 😁
After following your video everything seems to working except the microphone button. Even though I have the button enabled in the option for the card it refuses to appear as an option. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? go2rtc was successfully updated to 1.5.0.
Very well explained. Do you have the opportunity to explain/show how you set up go2rtc on the tapo camera shown 2:24 into the film? Have updated my go2rtc but don't quite understand how to set it up so sound is included in the film.
Awesome video. I got everything to work except the microphone button will not show. I have it enabled, I even changed the icon, removed/added other buttons. Mic just won't come on. Any ideas?

@@Absolute-Unit i think i found the problem, for some reason if you have special characters in your camera password mse and webrtc doesnt work, i realized when i test the rtsp link on vlc player first.

Has anyone tried this with the up-to-date Frigate stuff? Do we still need to swap out the version of go2rtc? It seems the one that ships now is much newer...
Thanks for the great tutorial. When I'm using the microphone in the HA-App and later I try to use the microphone in the reolink-app it's not working. It seems like frigate is blocking the microphone for the reolink-app? Has anybody the same issue?
Thank you for the excellent video. I have followed your directions completely but after clicking on the camera within Frigate on the sidebar I am able to hear the audio but there is no video. Any ideas what would cause that? Another weird this is when I add in the card, I get the video but no audio. Even though the icons for volume and microphome are enabled, they don't show in the card. *Disregard, everything is working correctly now. I mistakenly forgot my username in the rtsp stream link.😁
Yes, Yes. Though I run Frigate through UnRaid. I have had problems with Go2rtc and it may be that it is an older version. I would like to get Frigate more use. Also did you need to change anything on the reolink cam for this? I though last time I had this working it was under a http stream.

nice video i was looking for something like that.... its posible to make something like an incoming ring video call when someone ring the doorbell? an screen that load even if the phone its in lock screen and start ring the video call?
Thank you , every thing is great and working fine, and my two way audio is working as your other video (I have Tapo c310 cam), except here the microphone is always hidden, I cannot add it, when I add it it is not shown , what do you think please.. thank you
For anyone not seeing the microphone button on their frigate card, you need to add this to the cards config: cameras: - camera_entity: camera.front_door live_provider: go2rtc go2rtc: modes: - webrtc

Hello, I have a dahua vto2202f-p but I can't getting it work correct. I hear audio and see the live feed. but can't talk back to the Dahua doorbell. when I click in home assistant on the microphone button it changes to mic/talkballoon
Any suggestions on improving live stream latency? I have a 20sec delay until the stream loads in both frigate UI & dashboard card. (I have the same reolink doorbell + config from this video)
Thank you for this video, I have a Reolink doorbell connected to its 16 ch NVR and have followed your instructions step-by-step. Initially it seemed to work, meaning that both video and audio were working, but the audio was very bad quality, so I decided to uninstall Frigate add on , Frigate card and start again with a clean installation. Result is that the video is showing up but audio button and mic button show up after a few seconds on the home assistant Frigate Card. Also the audio no longer works and neither the microphone, even though their icons behave as they should. Any Ideas as to what I am doing wrong? I really need this to work but after a few weeks of trying over and over again , I must admit that I feel like giving up ! Sorry if this comment is not a very happy one, but would very much appreciate anyone's input . Thanks a lot in advance
In frigate it's worth just looking through the logs while trying to load up the video stream just to see what errors it's throwing up. 9 times out of 10 a quick Google search of the error, you'll find the solution. Unfortunately there's so many variables, I'm unable to give a straight up answer.
I'm confused, is the MQTT broker necessary for Frigate to function? I currently don't use MQTT on my Home Assistant instance, and would like to try setting up 2-way audio with my reolink doorbell, but would like to avoid the MQTT setup for now.
@@HassAssistant Ah, okay. Thanks. I guess I will test this all on a separate instance, and then if it works well, do the work of untangling the externally-run MQTT server (that HA has some Read-Only actions going on...) from the thing that is running it, and integrating that into my main HA instance. Did you test audio latency in both directions to the doorbell at all?
Hi thanks for the video ! The only things I can’t seem to get to work are the microphone and the delay (3-4 seconds). The microphone just doesn’t appear even when I turn on the option in the frigate card.
How fo i access the camera via web interface? Because i can only see it in the reolink app. HA autodiscovers it but i cannot configure it. Keeps failing.
Would be cool to configure it as such: If a person is detected, unmute, then maybe a bigger button for walkie talkie. Since it supports most of the things, MAYBE a pop up to your computer via VLC or such? Would be cool as Hell 😅
Great video, seems like you cant have special characters in your password. got it to work finally. Now finding out how to connect webrtc to frigate as well so i can use TTS to the doorbell for custom assistant messages. Video idea???? :P
Does the microphone in the integrated Frigate card work on mobile devices as well? I'll be trying this out soon but for now I don't see any option to use the iPhone microphone from the Home Assistant Companion app
@@HassAssistant Awesome thanks for the reply! One other thing I’m curious about is how you setup SSL, I checked your channel but I couldn’t find the video you mentioned. Do you cover it in one of your other videos? I read up on it and there seems to be a number of different ways to do it. I want to make sure I’m setting it up in a way that will definitely work for accessing the mic from any device, local or from the internet
Is there a reason why the frigate-card wouldn't show me the microphone? I can get it to work in the go2rtc system tab but I am unable to actually see the option in Home Assistant even using https Edit: Figured it out. Apparently I had to set the go2rtc stream name. I suspect it was because my device name wasn't the same as my go2rtc stream name.
@@mjpraat The stream name in this case was reolink. Under go2rtc -> streams -> [list of stream names]. Make sure it matches the name of the cameras -> [list of camera names] Ex. go2rtc: streams: backdoorcam cameras: backdoorcam Notice that backdoorcam is matching in both locations.
I've been having trouble with it too. Sometimes it would show up, sometimes not. One thing that helped was setting the go2rtc stream name explicitly. So when editing the card, go to Cameras => camera name => Live provider options => go2rtc Options => then set the go2rtc stream name previously configured in frigate.
If you are sure you have downloaded the card from HACS, there's a few things to try. Reboot the whole machine (not just home assistant core) Clear the cache on whatever device you are using or Re-download the card and try again
Really appreciate you sharing this. Have been having issues with Frigate since the update and been looking for some clarification on how to update go2rtc within HA
I can't even get it to work with the same doorbell lol. I copied it the letter even made sure no special characters in the passwords still can't get the mic to work only shows a slash with half mic and half what looks like a comment icon. Got it to work once only once then it stopped and hasn't worked since multiple restarts doorbell restarts I'm stuck
my issue with this doorbell is that that i loose the doorbell functionality once connected to frigate/go2rtc. it seems like i can only can connect the doorbell to either frigate or reolink doorbell app/ or reolink integration and what's connected to frigate it will act like a camera not a doorbell. is that correct because am about to give up and remove this doorbell from my frigate system or should I keep trying to tweak it.
so you raise a very valid point. though frigate serves a purpose with the camera image, mic and speaker, i did not cover the actual doorbell functionality. I use the official home assistant reolink integration for the doorbell button press sensor. however, that being said, my reolink app also works just fine in parallel with the reolink app. so definitely keep at it for now. check in back here in a week or so if you are still having issues, would be happy to help you out
@@HassAssistant thank you very much, I'll keep trying, i just don't know why my go2rtc dropp and i get refused to connect from time to time, but i notice if i disable reolink integration then go2rtc will work fine. I'm using web2rtc/go2rtc/frigate/deep stack etc.. also face detection on my deep stack is pretty much useless idk how i can improve it, i diabled the cropping but still. please keep making these great videos and thank you for your help.
@@MAD20248 I tried deep stack once.... don't bother, it's not the one. The most stable and advanced functionality you'll get from home assistant is object detection ie person, car, dog etc. The realms of facial recognition etc IS possible!... however unless you know what you're doing and have a lot of patience, it's not worth the effort. I've had clients who were using facial recognition for unlocking their front door lock, to which Ive always shut that idea down straight away. It's NOT secure!
@@HassAssistant i agree with you, I've been training deep stack for 3 weeks and still can't recognize me I'm about to disable it, i tried to install comperface but it requires AVX processor and my machine doesn't have that, idk if it is worth it to buy a new dedicated machine just so i can try comperface, idk if you tried it but it seems like people are having a totally different experience with comperface.
For anyone not seeing the microphone button on their frigate card, you need to add this to the cards config: cameras: - camera_entity: camera.front_door live_provider: go2rtc go2rtc: modes: - webrtc
As far as im aware, the only doorbells that can get the 2-way audio functionality is amcrest and reolink. Then obviously theres loads of normal cameras that support 2-way audio with Home Assistant. I sold my Eufy, hated how it integrated with Home Assistant.
Got everything to work except the microphone. It just doesn't show up when I enable it in the Frigate Card. Sound toggles on and off fine. The only thing I didn't bother to do was to put go2rtc 1.5 on because mine shows version 1.8.1 in the log screen.
Whoa, I quit trying, I got a bit further and added your pasted your card config and the mic button showed up but when I click it on, safari asks to allow access to the mic and when say yes to that, the video drops and I lose access to my whole Home Assistant. I get the "Connection Lost: Reconnecting" message. The only way I seem to be able to get back on is to turn Wifi off and back on again on my MacBook. Well weird, the first time it happened, I thought HA had crashed and I pulled the plug on the server to reboot it.
@@healeydave That seems like very extreme behaviour from just enabling a microphone. I would go through that process again to see if it happens again. If it does, you would need to check logs and see where exactly it's being tripped up.
@@HassAssistant I can replicate it. The first problem with getting the Mic to show up was because I am using Dwains Dashboard and I was adding the Frigate card in that. It worked ok, but because you can't go to yaml mode in the editor, I'm assuming the Frigate card was missing the crucial "line provider" info. I then created a new empty dashboard to test using your code pasted into the frigate card. That worked but Safari doesn't seem to handle it too well. When I paste the config and save the card, it all turns up ok. but when you go back in and edit, the screen gets redrawn badly and the icons are on top of each other and everything stops responding. If I cycle Wifi on the top menu bar, I can refresh the page and everything starts working again. Very strange. I'd take a video of it but I doubt you'd want to waste your time with it. I'm gonna leave it for now, it's too clunky and unusable to waste much more time on it if I'm honest.
Hi. Pls, can you help me with the process to integrate into home assistant this camera livestream - Morecam Security Cameras Outdoor, 360° View PTZ 2.4G WiFi Cameras for Home Security with Mobile App, Surveillance Camera Outside with Night Vision IP66 Compatible with Alexa Motion Detector - Model 844
Does anyone know why when I connect to home assistant outside my network the mic button and audio dont show up. Also I'm using nabu casa so its https. When I'm on my network the mic button shows up but i cant use it just shows half a mic and what looks like a comment icon. Any help would be appreciated.
Figure it out partly. Had to disable the apps local login and only use the nabu casa cloud. Now it works as long as I'm connected to a wifi connection.... on cell connection the mic and audio don't even show up. I tried different wifi connections and they all work just not cell....odd
@@Misticzerx0r I was having this exact problem and just found the solution. Had to have my router forward port 8555 to the machine running frigate. Hope this helps.
@llabourdeth I'd forgotten all about this post. Yes, the answer is at the bottom of the frigate setup page. I swear just to make me miss it and spend days trying to figure it out.
is anyone else having an issue with awful / loud audio coming though the camera from the frigate card? it sounds fine everywhere else but when enabling the card speaker its like a tornado
The microphone does not work, when I press it changes the icon to an icon of an icon divided in 2, half it is a microphone the other half it is a bubble of a comic and a diagonal line. If I press again it will not change. I followed all steps, whats the problem?
I see it works from the Home Assistant app when I connect to the https site. So how to work in LAN with the HTTP connection? I have no possibility to have HTTPS home assistant because the administration limitations of the router, I already tried it.
@shenharomer7299 you should use a reverse proxy like nginx to forward any http requests to https. Then it will appear even when connecting locally. Something else to keep in mind is that for 2 way audio you also need port 8555 forwarded on your router as this is the port frigate uses.
@@DimitriLanderloos I am having the same problem do you mind giving a bit more explanation on how I can do the port forwarding on my router?What traffic am I forwading to 8555? Is it from the reolink doorbell?
Was caused by special chars in the password. Keep an eye on special chars in the password passed in the url. Create another reolink user with a valid password if needed!
So this is only true for non ssl streams. Most browsers (including the app) block the microphone for unsafe connections. Use an https connection and the mic will work.
Thanks that helped me! Also does your mic and audio work on cell service? Mine only show up when connected to wifi. I'm using nabu casa so it should all be https. But mic button and audio are completely gone when I'm on a cell connection but all wifi connections work.
@oleost yeah kind of embarrassing I forgot in the app you can connect to your local ip address when connect to your wifi which is what i was doing so I wasn't going over https. Edit: wait I misread what I wrote that was a different problem I had lol. I think this issue was due to something in my setup process I think I didn't update something.
@hassassistant Hey!! Great to see your TH-cam channel is doing very well! Sorry to hit you up in the comments but I really need your help it's Anthony from Teams. I tried emailing you as well.

Initially it seemed to work, meaning that both video and audio were working, but the audio was very bad quality, so I decided to uninstall Frigate add on , Frigate card and start again with a clean installation. Result is that the video is showing up but audio button and mic button show up after a few seconds on the home assistant Frigate Card. Also the audio no longer works and neither the microphone, even though their icons behave as they should. Any Ideas as to what I am doing wrong? I really need this to work but after a few weeks of trying over and over again , I must admit that I feel like giving up ! Sorry if this comment is not a very happy one, but would very much appreciate anyone's input . Thanks a lot in advance
In frigate it's worth just looking through the logs while trying to load up the video stream just to see what errors it's throwing up. 9 times out of 10 a quick Google search of the error, you'll find the solution. Unfortunately there's so many variables, I'm unable to give a straight up answer.
I'm confused, is the MQTT broker necessary for Frigate to function? I currently don't use MQTT on my Home Assistant instance, and would like to try setting up 2-way audio with my reolink doorbell, but would like to avoid the MQTT setup for now.
MQTT is indeed necessary for sending the states to the frigate integration.
@@HassAssistant Ah, okay. Thanks.
I guess I will test this all on a separate instance, and then if it works well, do the work of untangling the externally-run MQTT server (that HA has some Read-Only actions going on...) from the thing that is running it, and integrating that into my main HA instance.
Did you test audio latency in both directions to the doorbell at all?
Hi thanks for the video !
The only things I can’t seem to get to work are the microphone and the delay (3-4 seconds).
The microphone just doesn’t appear even when I turn on the option in the frigate card.
same problem
is the go2rtc manual upgrade still needed?
How fo i access the camera via web interface? Because i can only see it in the reolink app. HA autodiscovers it but i cannot configure it. Keeps failing.
2:33 Q: does this mean i didnt had to install go2rtc manually cause it comes outofbox with an gp2rtc?
Would be cool to configure it as such:
If a person is detected, unmute, then maybe a bigger button for walkie talkie. Since it supports most of the things, MAYBE a pop up to your computer via VLC or such? Would be cool as Hell 😅
Hi there, thanks do you also have the global config code too please?
Great video, seems like you cant have special characters in your password. got it to work finally. Now finding out how to connect webrtc to frigate as well so i can use TTS to the doorbell for custom assistant messages. Video idea???? :P
I was going to, but it was a bit hit and miss so didn't bother including it.
@@HassAssistant i got it to work but not perfect, sometimes the first few words and the last few words are cut off :(
Does the microphone in the integrated Frigate card work on mobile devices as well? I'll be trying this out soon but for now I don't see any option to use the iPhone microphone from the Home Assistant Companion app
Yep first time using the mic on iPhone or Android it will usually ask for permission.
@@HassAssistant Awesome thanks for the reply! One other thing I’m curious about is how you setup SSL, I checked your channel but I couldn’t find the video you mentioned. Do you cover it in one of your other videos? I read up on it and there seems to be a number of different ways to do it. I want to make sure I’m setting it up in a way that will definitely work for accessing the mic from any device, local or from the internet
@@jamesdolan3386 Checkout my cloudflare video
Is there a reason why the frigate-card wouldn't show me the microphone? I can get it to work in the go2rtc system tab but I am unable to actually see the option in Home Assistant even using https
Edit: Figured it out. Apparently I had to set the go2rtc stream name. I suspect it was because my device name wasn't the same as my go2rtc stream name.
What do you mean with go2rtc stream name? can you share a config snippit?
@@cafecomcheirinho Effectively I had to add the "stream: back"
-----------Cardyaml----------
go2rtc:
modes:
- webrtc
stream: back
-----------Frigate Go2rtc snipit-----
go2rtc:
streams:
back:
- reolink config here
.......
cameras:
back-door-camera:
ffmpeg:
........
Can you tell some more about the go2rtc stream name? I'm having the same issue, microphone not showing.
@@mjpraat The stream name in this case was reolink. Under go2rtc -> streams -> [list of stream names].
Make sure it matches the name of the cameras -> [list of camera names]
Ex.
go2rtc:
streams:
backdoorcam
cameras:
backdoorcam
Notice that backdoorcam is matching in both locations.
it is great! but the microphone does not work. I see the button but it does not work. 😞
have everything the way you did yours, but the microphone does not pop-up on the card. What would cause this?
Same here
I've been having trouble with it too. Sometimes it would show up, sometimes not. One thing that helped was setting the go2rtc stream name explicitly. So when editing the card, go to Cameras => camera name => Live provider options => go2rtc Options => then set the go2rtc stream name previously configured in frigate.
I am struggling to get the frigate-card on my dashboard, keep getting the “custom element not found”
If you are sure you have downloaded the card from HACS, there's a few things to try.
Reboot the whole machine (not just home assistant core)
Clear the cache on whatever device you are using
or Re-download the card and try again
Really appreciate you sharing this. Have been having issues with Frigate since the update and been looking for some clarification on how to update go2rtc within HA
I have an issue when 2 way audio session ends, the doorbell button remains blue so never releases stream and causes button to no longer functrion.
Will this still work with frigate proxy? My frigate instance is on my nas.
doesn't seem to work with frigate proxy, can get mic to show but no sound from doorbell
I didn't see you mentioning if there is any lag. Audio and/or video.
a second or so for me
2:19 Q: why you dont have detectors in your frigate.yaml?
Hi! im trying to replicate this to the Reolink camera (811 and 510) without success. Any idea? im using the http flv...
I can't even get it to work with the same doorbell lol. I copied it the letter even made sure no special characters in the passwords still can't get the mic to work only shows a slash with half mic and half what looks like a comment icon. Got it to work once only once then it stopped and hasn't worked since multiple restarts doorbell restarts I'm stuck
my issue with this doorbell is that that i loose the doorbell functionality once connected to frigate/go2rtc. it seems like i can only can connect the doorbell to either frigate or reolink doorbell app/ or reolink integration and what's connected to frigate it will act like a camera not a doorbell.
is that correct because am about to give up and remove this doorbell from my frigate system or should I keep trying to tweak it.
so you raise a very valid point. though frigate serves a purpose with the camera image, mic and speaker, i did not cover the actual doorbell functionality.
I use the official home assistant reolink integration for the doorbell button press sensor.
however, that being said, my reolink app also works just fine in parallel with the reolink app. so definitely keep at it for now.
check in back here in a week or so if you are still having issues, would be happy to help you out
@@HassAssistant thank you very much, I'll keep trying, i just don't know why my go2rtc dropp and i get refused to connect from time to time, but i notice if i disable reolink integration then go2rtc will work fine.
I'm using web2rtc/go2rtc/frigate/deep stack etc..
also face detection on my deep stack is pretty much useless idk how i can improve it, i diabled the cropping but still.
please keep making these great videos and thank you for your help.
@@MAD20248 I tried deep stack once.... don't bother, it's not the one. The most stable and advanced functionality you'll get from home assistant is object detection ie person, car, dog etc.
The realms of facial recognition etc IS possible!... however unless you know what you're doing and have a lot of patience, it's not worth the effort.
I've had clients who were using facial recognition for unlocking their front door lock, to which Ive always shut that idea down straight away. It's NOT secure!
@@HassAssistant i agree with you, I've been training deep stack for 3 weeks and still can't recognize me I'm about to disable it, i tried to install comperface but it requires AVX processor and my machine doesn't have that, idk if it is worth it to buy a new dedicated machine just so i can try comperface, idk if you tried it but it seems like people are having a totally different experience with comperface.
depends, what is it you are trying to achieve as an end goal?
@@MAD20248
For anyone not seeing the microphone button on their frigate card, you need to add this to the cards config:
cameras:
- camera_entity: camera.front_door
live_provider: go2rtc
go2rtc:
modes:
- webrtc
Hi mate, is this possible with other brands of cameras like Eufy ?
As far as im aware, the only doorbells that can get the 2-way audio functionality is amcrest and reolink.
Then obviously theres loads of normal cameras that support 2-way audio with Home Assistant.
I sold my Eufy, hated how it integrated with Home Assistant.
@HassAssistant Yea Eufy integration isn't the best that's for sure. Thanks mate.
@@Nick_1976 it's such a work around. Same as ring doorbells. Get a reolink or amcrest 100%
@@HassAssistant Hey mate, I was wondering if this also works with Reolink cameras?
Got everything to work except the microphone. It just doesn't show up when I enable it in the Frigate Card. Sound toggles on and off fine.
The only thing I didn't bother to do was to put go2rtc 1.5 on because mine shows version 1.8.1 in the log screen.
For a sanity check I would advise you try go2rtc 1.5. For whatever reason there may be reasons for this not to work on 1.8.1
Whoa, I quit trying, I got a bit further and added your pasted your card config and the mic button showed up but when I click it on, safari asks to allow access to the mic and when say yes to that, the video drops and I lose access to my whole Home Assistant. I get the "Connection Lost: Reconnecting" message. The only way I seem to be able to get back on is to turn Wifi off and back on again on my MacBook. Well weird, the first time it happened, I thought HA had crashed and I pulled the plug on the server to reboot it.
@@healeydave That seems like very extreme behaviour from just enabling a microphone. I would go through that process again to see if it happens again.
If it does, you would need to check logs and see where exactly it's being tripped up.
@@HassAssistant I can replicate it. The first problem with getting the Mic to show up was because I am using Dwains Dashboard and I was adding the Frigate card in that. It worked ok, but because you can't go to yaml mode in the editor, I'm assuming the Frigate card was missing the crucial "line provider" info. I then created a new empty dashboard to test using your code pasted into the frigate card. That worked but Safari doesn't seem to handle it too well. When I paste the config and save the card, it all turns up ok. but when you go back in and edit, the screen gets redrawn badly and the icons are on top of each other and everything stops responding. If I cycle Wifi on the top menu bar, I can refresh the page and everything starts working again. Very strange. I'd take a video of it but I doubt you'd want to waste your time with it. I'm gonna leave it for now, it's too clunky and unusable to waste much more time on it if I'm honest.
How do you get this to work externally?
By the way if anyone was wondering I had to switch to Cloudflare tunnels and forward port 8555
Seems like Frigate 0.13.2 ships with go2rtc 1.8.4.
Nice to know, will check this out soon
Hi. Pls, can you help me with the process to integrate into home assistant this camera livestream - Morecam Security Cameras Outdoor, 360° View PTZ 2.4G WiFi Cameras for Home Security with Mobile App, Surveillance Camera Outside with Night Vision IP66 Compatible with Alexa Motion Detector - Model 844
Does anyone know why when I connect to home assistant outside my network the mic button and audio dont show up. Also I'm using nabu casa so its https.
When I'm on my network the mic button shows up but i cant use it just shows half a mic and what looks like a comment icon. Any help would be appreciated.
Figure it out partly. Had to disable the apps local login and only use the nabu casa cloud. Now it works as long as I'm connected to a wifi connection.... on cell connection the mic and audio don't even show up. I tried different wifi connections and they all work just not cell....odd
@@Misticzerx0r I was having this exact problem and just found the solution. Had to have my router forward port 8555 to the machine running frigate. Hope this helps.
@llabourdeth I'd forgotten all about this post. Yes, the answer is at the bottom of the frigate setup page. I swear just to make me miss it and spend days trying to figure it out.
is anyone else having an issue with awful / loud audio coming though the camera from the frigate card? it sounds fine everywhere else but when enabling the card speaker its like a tornado
found it out it was the config volume set so high!
I get no frames have been received, check error logs
The microphone does not work, when I press it changes the icon to an icon of an icon divided in 2, half it is a microphone the other half it is a bubble of a comic and a diagonal line. If I press again it will not change. I followed all steps, whats the problem?
I see it works from the Home Assistant app when I connect to the https site. So how to work in LAN with the HTTP connection? I have no possibility to have HTTPS home assistant because the administration limitations of the router, I already tried it.
Did you find a solution?
@shenharomer7299 you should use a reverse proxy like nginx to forward any http requests to https. Then it will appear even when connecting locally.
Something else to keep in mind is that for 2 way audio you also need port 8555 forwarded on your router as this is the port frigate uses.
@@DimitriLanderloos I am having the same problem do you mind giving a bit more explanation on how I can do the port forwarding on my router?What traffic am I forwading to 8555? Is it from the reolink doorbell?
Did someone find a solution?
microphone does not work, not on my phone using the app or via pc in browser
Your home assistant needs to be accessed over https for your browser to allow microphone access.
The webrtc stream contains audio only - no video! MSE does not work at all and jsmpeg does not have audio.
Was caused by special chars in the password. Keep an eye on special chars in the password passed in the url. Create another reolink user with a valid password if needed!
Pls repost codes as they are not available :-)
Just checked, they seem to be fine
@@HassAssistant I cant open your Frigate Card Yaml link or the other links, just wroted it all by the video, i just missing the frigate card yaml.
@@ventilationsrensdk440 weird, opens fine my end.

@@HassAssistant Very strange, can try post in codeshare? 🙂
The mic won't work...
So this is only true for non ssl streams. Most browsers (including the app) block the microphone for unsafe connections. Use an https connection and the mic will work.
Thanks that helped me! Also does your mic and audio work on cell service? Mine only show up when connected to wifi. I'm using nabu casa so it should all be https. But mic button and audio are completely gone when I'm on a cell connection but all wifi connections work.
@@Misticzerx0r Did you ever figured out this?
@oleost yeah kind of embarrassing I forgot in the app you can connect to your local ip address when connect to your wifi which is what i was doing so I wasn't going over https.
Edit: wait I misread what I wrote that was a different problem I had lol. I think this issue was due to something in my setup process I think I didn't update something.
This video is not working.. Sorry, try a few times and the doorbell don't stream audio!
Hass means hate in German
It's fri-ghut buddy, not fri-gate. Top video.
say Frigate again, LOL
🤣
Unfortunately, I couldn't get past the first minute because of the terrible mispronunciation of frigate. It's pronounced git, not gate. 😢
