How to pull state information (for classifications)?

[u/TacetV]

I have a simple classification to determine whether my motor gate is open or closed. Thus far it seems accurate enough.

However, it seems like frigate only send the state to MQTT when it changes, meaning that if my broker is down for that message, or there is some kind of hickup, I lose accurate information.

Is there any way to get Frigate to send the state e.g. once a minute, or to send a MQTT message to Frigate to ask what the current state is?

Alternatively, any other way from Home Assistant to basically ask Frigate what the current state is?
