[Support]: Stationary object detection in HA is unstable

[basvdl]

Describe the problem you are having

I'm trying to keep track if a specific parking spot is occupied or not. Detecting cars within the Parking_1 zone is working, but it seems to struggle stationary cars.

The car is already their for hours, and every time motion is detected, Frigate publishes a MQTT message to frigate/Parking_1/car with a value 0 and at the same moment a message with value 1.

This will trigger my simple automation that is watching the occupancy sensor (binary_sensor.parking_1_car_occupancy) in HA. As you see in the screenshot, it is non stop changing. I noticed that the moment it is changing, is basically when something is moving.

This is the setup of my area's:

How can I tune Frigate to make sure that it is not sending 0 cars followed by 1 car when motion is detected.

Thanks!

  # Optional: Minimum size in pixels in the resized motion image that counts as motion (default: shown below)

First, it's important to remember that Frigate uses the bottom center point of an object's bounding box to determine presence in a zone.

Based on the screenshot, you'll probably want to move your zone downwards.

Second, the occupancy sensors in HA have less filters on them, and this is intentional. See the documentation.

I'd suggest tweaking based on those two things. Let us know if you continue to have issues after that.

Hi @hawkeye217 , Thanks for taking the time.

The car is fully inside the box, is it just a matter of giving it just a bit more room?

I'll have a look at the frigate/events to see how that behaves vs. the occupancy sensors.

Would you also recommend playing around with the loitering_time for instance?

      Parking_1:
        coordinates: 0.160,0.296,0.925,0.320,0.925,0.725,0.160,0.70
        loitering_time: 0
        objects: car
        inertia: 3

[hawkeye217]

The car is fully inside the box, is it just a matter of giving it just a bit more room?

The car does not have to be fully inside of the box, only the bottom center of the bounding box does.

So if a car doesn't quite fit inside of your parking spot or the bounding box jumps around slightly from motion or another object passing it, it would explain the behavior you are seeing.

[basvdl]

1 more observation is that in debug Frigate has the car still as object detected.

However in HA, the occupancy sensors is set to clear.
