Review Exclusions

[broyuken]

I have waste_bin tracked as a label, so I can eventually set up an automation to notify me if I forgot to take the trash out to the street on trash day, but I don’t need my review screen filled up with trash bins. Is there a way to exclude a single label from the review page without listing every other label minus waste_bin?
I’m currently tracking 22 labels on that camera, so it would be nice if I could just list the 1 I want to exclude instead of the 21 I want to include.

Frigate doesn't currently support excluding specific labels from review items - you can only specify which labels to include(1)(2). The review configuration requires you to explicitly list the labels you want to include for both alerts and detections(1)(2).

For your use case with 22 tracked labels where you want to exclude only waste_bin, you would need to list the other 21 labels in your review configuration(1)(2). The configuration would look like this:

review:
  detections:
    labels:
      - person
      - car
      - dog
      # ... list all other labels except waste_bin

(2)

By default, all tracked labels qualify as detections(1)(2). When you specify a labels list under detections, only those listed labels will appear in the review page(1)(2).

While this means more configuration work upfront, it gives you precise control over which objects appear in your review timeline while still allowing you to track waste_bin for your automation needs.

Ok, can you change this into a feature request then please?

You don't need to add waste_bin as a detection in review for it to be tracked as an object by Frigate. Just ensure it's part of objects --> track. You can still use it in automations and see it in Explore.

I know, but by default all labels are included in that. So I would need to add all labels except waste_bin to the review section. And when new labels are available I will need to add them as well. Whereas an exclude would be one and done.

I have it being tracked already. What I don’t want is it in my review page.

I don't think it makes sense to add a completely new configuration option for this. With UI configuration coming in a future version, this will be easier to see and accomplish, but for now, simple cut/paste is the best way to do what you are looking for.

Ok that’s fine, I can hang on for a UI config. Do you guys have a rough timeline on when you think .17 will be in beta?

[hawkeye217]

There is no time frame available for a beta. And while additional elements of the config will be possible to adjust visually, full UI config is not planned for 0.17.
