HA Snapshot camera entity and multiple zones help required

[picotrain77]

Hi All
Stupid question but cant work it out. I had 1 of my cam's set up with track person and the same required zone for recording, mqtt, and snapshots. This has always worked perfectly and within home assistant I see a camera.garage_cam_person entity and this has always shown the latest snapshot - so far so good.

Today I decided to add a 2nd zone and and have added the 2ns zone to the frigate.yaml and listed in it required zones for recording, mqtt, and snapshots. I can see in frigate and media folder etc that movement of people within either zone causes frigate to snapshot and record with the correct zone labels - so all good.

However the bit I cant get my head round is if there is a snapshot created in the first and original long standing zone the HA camera.garage_cam_person entity is updated to show this latest snapshot - however if a snapshot is created in the new zone added today then the HA camera entity is not updated and continues to show the old snapshot.

So what have I missed, am I being stupid here?

PS Happy to post up some config if required but can help thinking I am missing something stupid?

What is the order of events? Are you saying a person steps into the first zone and then the second zone, the snapshot shows the person in the first zone?

[picotrain77]

The recording and snapshots in frigate all work perfectly and as per the above you can see they are being labelled correctly - however the HA entity camera.garage_cam_person only updates if the snapshot has the 'home garage person zone' label and never updates if the zone label is only 'home garage person 2 zone'

PS Thanks for your input - much appreciated

No, if the person only steps in the new zone 2 the camera entity never gets updated full stop,
