Good morning, this is your Frigate NVR Updates for March 6th, 2026.
Yesterday saw significant development activity with five merged pull requests and six additional commits. The headline change comes from hawkeye217, who merged the React 19 frontend upgrade. This substantial update touched 50 files with over 4,600 lines changed, modernizing the entire web interface and resolving compatibility issues with the latest React version.
The second major addition is an enhanced motion review system with new search capabilities. This feature adds motion search functionality and improves the existing motion review interface, requiring database migrations and new API endpoints to support motion heatmaps and search indexing.
Three smaller but important updates rounded out the merge activity. Documentation was updated to reflect Home Assistant's new terminology, changing references from "add-on" to "app" across 13 documentation files. Users can now clear region grids directly from the frontend interface, and anonymous user login events are now properly logged for security monitoring.
Additional commits included motion threshold configuration improvements, allowing users to skip motion threshold setup in certain scenarios. A fix addressed Ollama chat tool calling issues, improving AI integration reliability and handling streaming fallbacks more effectively.
What's next: The React 19 upgrade provides a foundation for future frontend enhancements, while the motion search feature opens possibilities for more advanced video analysis tools.
That's your Frigate NVR update. We'll be back tomorrow with more development news.
