81cf7be89a Add on-demand Frigate+ API key validation (#24918)
* Add on-demand Frigate+ API key validation

The Frigate+ settings page reported the API key as validated whenever it
matched the expected format, without ever checking it with the server.

- Clarify the status text to say the key matches the expected format
- Add PlusApi.validate_key(), which requests a token from Frigate+ and
  reports the key as valid, invalid, unreachable, or not set; server
  errors and timeouts are not reported as an invalid key
- Add an admin-only POST /plus/validate endpoint and regenerate the API spec
- Add a "Validate with Frigate+" button that shows the result inline

* Validate Frigate+ key asynchronously and keep cached token on bad replies

- Use aiohttp for the validation request so the endpoint awaits it
  instead of blocking a worker thread
- Only replace the cached token when the reply has a string accessToken
  and numeric expires; otherwise report unreachable so an unexpected
  response can't break later Frigate+ requests
- Test against a local aiohttp server, covering timeouts, connection
  failures, non-JSON replies and unusable token shapes

* Honor proxy settings when validating the Frigate+ key

aiohttp ignores HTTP(S)_PROXY unless trust_env is set, so validation
reported Frigate+ as unreachable on installs that need a proxy while
other Frigate+ requests still worked.

Frigate NVR™ - Realtime Object Detection for IP Cameras

License: MIT

Translation status

[English] | 简体中文

A complete and local NVR designed for Home Assistant with AI object detection. Uses OpenCV and Tensorflow to perform realtime object detection locally for IP cameras.

Use of a GPU or AI accelerator is highly recommended. AI accelerators will outperform even the best CPUs with very little overhead. See Frigate's supported object detectors.

  • Tight integration with Home Assistant via a custom component
  • Designed to minimize resource use and maximize performance by only looking for objects when and where it is necessary
  • Leverages multiprocessing heavily with an emphasis on realtime over processing every frame
  • Uses a very low overhead motion detection to determine where to run object detection
  • Object detection with TensorFlow runs in separate processes for maximum FPS
  • Communicates over MQTT for easy integration into other systems
  • Records video with retention settings based on detected objects
  • 24/7 recording
  • Re-streaming via RTSP to reduce the number of connections to your camera
  • WebRTC & MSE support for low-latency live view
