# Face Detect MQTT
Per cambiare il topic di MQTT basta vedere in fondo al file src/tracker.py

---

Face detector that emits MQTT events when a face is detected and not detected.

I built this as an alternative to using PIR motion sensors to turn on the lights in my office.
I found that when sitting at my computer (somewhat motionless), the PIR motion sensors stop detecting
motion and turn off the lights while I am still in the room.

Instead of using motion sensors, this project is constantly monitoring a camera (attached to a raspberry pi)
and looking to see if a face is present on the camera - if a face is present, the lights stay on.

My raspberry pi + camera are placed on my desk under my computer monitors. When I walk into the room and sit
down at my computer my face is detected - and continue to be detected while I sit at the computer.

## MQTT Events
Note: the mqtt client id is customisable via environment variables. The default `cvzone_tracker_01` is used in the examples below
### Face Detected
A face has been detected
```
MQTT Topic: home/cvzone_tracker_01/face_detected
Payload: 1
```

### Face Not Detected
A face is no longer detected (a face must be detected first)
```
MQTT Topic: home/cvzone_tracker_01/face_detected
Payload: 0
```

### Connected
MQTT client has connected
```
MQTT Topic: home/cvzone_tracker_01/status
Payload: connected
```

### Face Not Detected
MQTT client has disconnected (sent as MQTT last will message)
```
MQTT Topic: home/cvzone_tracker_01/status
Payload: disconnected
```

## Raspberry Pi Pre-requisites (using the RPi Camera Module)
*Required*: Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit

Set the following options in `raspi-config` and reboot:
 - GPU Memory -> 256
 - Legacy Camera Stack -> Enabled

Install docker:
```
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sudo sh get-docker.sh
sudo usermod -aG docker pi
sudo systemctl enable docker
sudo reboot
```

## Run with docker
```
docker run \
  -d \
  --restart=unless-stopped \
  --device /dev/video0 \
  -e MQTT_ADDRESS="10.1.1.100" \
  -e MQTT_PORT="1883" \
  -e MQTT_USERNAME="username" \
  -e MQTT_PASSWORD="password" \
  -e MQTT_CLIENT_ID="cvzone_tracker_01" \
  -e MIN_FACE_SCORE="0.5" \
  -e ROTATE_IMAGE="0" \
  --name=face-detect-mqtt \ 
  selexin/face-detect-mqtt:latest
```

### Environment Variables
 - `MQTT_ADDRESS` - IP Address of MQTT broker on local network
 - `MQTT_PORT` - Port of MQTT broker on local network
 - `MQTT_USERNAME` - Username for MQTT Authorization
 - `MQTT_PASSWORD` - Password for MQTT Authorization
 - `MQTT_CLIENT_ID` - Custom MQTT client ID to use
 - `MIN_FACE_SCORE` - Number between 0.0 and 0.1. Ignore face detections with a confidence lower than this number. 
 - `ROTATE_IMAGE` - Set to "1" to if your camera is upside-down
