[Support]: MQTT reviews topic doesn't send update on zone change

• I have asked the AI at https://docs.frigate.video about my issue.

Describe the problem you are having

The docs say that an update mqtt message will be sent when there is a zone change. I'm not seeing that. I get a 'new' message like this:

{
  "type": "new",
  "before": {
    "id": "1760236582.030195-oc7b9h",
    "camera": "camera_front_door",
    "start_time": 1760236582.030195,
    "end_time": null,
    "severity": "alert",
    "thumb_path": "/media/frigate/clips/review/thumb-camera_front_door-1760236582.030195-oc7b9h.webp",
    "data": {
      "detections": [
        "1760236581.825827-44fv9c"
      ],
      "objects": [
        "person"
      ],
      "sub_labels": [],
      "zones": [],
      "audio": []
    }
  },
  "after": {
    "id": "1760236582.030195-oc7b9h",
    "camera": "camera_front_door",
    "start_time": 1760236582.030195,
    "end_time": null,
    "severity": "alert",
    "thumb_path": "/media/frigate/clips/review/thumb-camera_front_door-1760236582.030195-oc7b9h.webp",
    "data": {
      "detections": [
        "1760236581.825827-44fv9c"
      ],
      "objects": [
        "person"
      ],
      "sub_labels": [],
      "zones": [],
      "audio": []
    }
  }
}

then I get an 'end' message like this:

{
  "type": "end",
  "before": {
    "id": "1760236582.030195-oc7b9h",
    "camera": "camera_front_door",
    "start_time": 1760236582.030195,
    "end_time": null,
    "severity": "alert",
    "thumb_path": "/media/frigate/clips/review/thumb-camera_front_door-1760236582.030195-oc7b9h.webp",
    "data": {
      "detections": [
        "1760236581.825827-44fv9c"
      ],
      "objects": [
        "person"
      ],
      "sub_labels": [],
      "zones": [
        "front_door_notify"
      ],
      "audio": []
    }
  },
  "after": {
    "id": "1760236582.030195-oc7b9h",
    "camera": "camera_front_door",
    "start_time": 1760236582.030195,
    "end_time": 1760236595.780598,
    "severity": "alert",
    "thumb_path": "/media/frigate/clips/review/thumb-camera_front_door-1760236582.030195-oc7b9h.webp",
    "data": {
      "detections": [
        "1760236581.825827-44fv9c"
      ],
      "objects": [
        "person"
      ],
      "sub_labels": [],
      "zones": [
        "front_door_notify"
      ],
      "audio": []
    }
  }
}

The biggest challenge here is that I'm using these messages to send a notification when the zones change, but the new message has no zones and the end message [incorrectly] says that before.zones was populated and there was no change. Basically, no single message signifies the zones ever changed.

Steps to reproduce

1. Enter camera to cause review
2. Leave before an update happens

  prompt: Analyze the chronological sequence of images from this security camera
    and generate a description. Image Content from AI Detection System- 1. The 
    camera system detected an object in these images and labeled it as a {label}
    with a sub-label of {sub_label}. 2. The sub-label of the object depends on 
    the primary object type. 2a. If the object is a person, the sub-label is the
    name of the person (or unknown) and you MUST assume the identification was 
    correct and use that name when describing them. 2ai. If the person is named,
    then they are a resident of the home and their presence is expected. There's
    no need to say they are a resident or their presence is expected or they 
    aren't acting suspicious.  We all know they belong here because they live 
    here. 2b. If the object is a bird, the sub-label is the species. 2c. If the 
    object is a license plate, the sub-label is the plate number or semantic 
    label of the car (like Ryan's Car). 3. Use the sub-label information you've 
    been given. 3a. When the sub-label is specified, use the sub-label to 
    describe the object rather than the generic object type. 3b. Speak 
    naturally.  For example, say "An unknown person entered a room" instead of 
    "A person labeled as unknown entered the room". 4. The camera system AI 
    isn't perfect, so if you don't see a {label}, say so and don't assume the 
    original detection was infallible. Description Instructions- 1. Your summary
    will be sent to the owner of the home so they can determine whether it's an 
    important event. 2. Keep your response concise and use simple language. 3. 
    Limit your response to 2 or 3 sentences, focusing on the most important 
    aspects and omitting context and introductions. 4. Focus on the likely 
    intent or behavior of the {label} based on its actions and movement, rather 
    than describing its appearance or the surroundings. 5. Consider what the 
    {label} is doing, why, and what it might do next.

Based on the documentation and GitHub discussions, this appears to be a known behavior that has been addressed in previous versions. The frigate/reviews topic publishes messages when tracked objects are no longer marked as false positives, when better snapshots are found, or when zone changes occur (1).

However, there are some documented inconsistencies with how zone changes are handled in review messages. According to GitHub discussions, there was a bug where update messages weren't being sent for zone changes, which was reportedly fixed in earlier beta versions (2). The discussion indicates that new and end messages show the same data for before/after, but update messages should show the before/after differences (2).

For your specific case where you're seeing zones appear in the end message without an intermediate update message, this matches behavior described in the GitHub discussions where zones would appear in messages without proper before/after tracking (2). The maintainers indicated that the bookkeeping logic for maintaining state between messages is complex, and they don't keep an ongoing state for each camera to use as the "before" in new messages (2).

The recommended approach for notifications is to configure your desired zones/objects to classify as "alerts" in your Frigate config and use the severity field to trigger notifications, rather than relying on zone change detection between messages (2).

For reliable zone-based notifications, you might want to use a trigger that checks for severity == 'alert' in new messages, or consider using the frigate/events topic instead, which has more predictable behavior for individual object tracking (2).

📚 Sources:

1. MQTT
2. V14 MQTT frigate/reviews. No change message on new zones and objects. Is this expected behaviour?

I think this is a regression. This comment says that update messages should be generated per the PR, but I'm only seeing new/end where new has no zones before/after and end has all zones before/after.

The discussion that the AI linked to has a lot of pertinent information: #12113

The /events topic may be better suited for your use case.

[NickM-27]

Right, reviews are working as expected.

Some things here:

1. The review topic is focused around activity and severity of activity. Your zones are not required, so the new message already has severity alert which means the zones changing isn't an important detail in terms of the activity and severity.
2. I will put up a PR to have the docs more accurately describe how it works.
3. For your use case the events topic is best, as previously suggested.
