This is a simple go tool to listen to an MQTT broker for events from frigate and fire off emails. It is an attempt at making frigate more useful without having to also run home assistant.

go-frigate-email connects to an MQTT broker and waits for frigate/event messages. When it gets one, it access the frigate API to download the snapshot from the event. Once the snapshot is downloaded, an email is sent, including the snapshot as an attachment.

For better or worse this assumes:

• Authenticaiton is enabled on your MQTT server (see config.yaml.sample).
