# Frigate SMTP Notifications Sends email notifications when Frigate NVR detects an object. ## Setup This guide assumes you have Home Assistant and Frigate already set up. If you don't, you can follow this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWNquH3tNxc (not my video). This guide also assumes you have access to your Home Assistant integration from outside your local network. ### Setup Gmail SMTP server: 1. Go to https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords 2. Create a new password with a memorable name like "python" or "smtp" 3. Copy and paste your password into config.json - `"password": "app password goes here",` 4. Change your-email@gmail.com to your email. ### Snapshots: Modify config.json: `"frigate_url": "https://your.homeassistantdomain.com",` ### Setup MQTT: Modify config.json: Change the IP, username, and password to match the user you have made for Home Assistant (or you can make a separate user for this script)
