Can I manage security cameras and object detection with this?

The skill includes specific integration patterns for Frigate, allowing you to trigger automations and notifications based on object detection events via MQTT.

Does this skill support local voice processing?

Yes, it provides full configuration patterns for the Wyoming protocol, supporting Whisper for speech-to-text, Piper for text-to-speech, and openWakeWord for local wake word detection.

What protocol does this skill use to connect to Home Assistant?

It utilizes both the REST API for service calls and entity state changes, and the WebSocket API for real-time event streaming and subscription-based monitoring.

Is authentication handled securely?

The skill follows best practices by using Long-Lived Access Tokens and recommends storing sensitive credentials in a secure vault rather than hardcoding them in configuration files.
