What's New in Lumen for Frigate

1.17.8

November 5, 2026

• Clips always open: a clip starts as soon as it is ready. If Frigate is slow, Lumen says so after a few seconds and offers Retry, instead of spinning forever. • Go to a time: in a camera's recordings, tap the calendar to jump to any day and exact time. From an event clip, “Full recording” opens the whole timeline at that moment. • The big camera tile no longer jumps to another camera on every new event. • Camera feeds over http:// reconnect on their own, and the “server unreachable” card stays in place while Lumen reconnects. • Reviews show an error with Retry when they can't load, instead of “All clear”.

User reviews

It’s okay

If you don’t mind having to go through numerous steps to access the PTZ controls, this works fine. But, I didn’t like having to perform multiple clicks to get to the PTZ controls for a camera.

Great app with potential

I’ve tried all of the main frigate apps and this is the best designed and feature rich. It’s also the best designed UI I have found. There are some broken features in the current release, but all core functionality works. I appreciate the developer has made a “lifetime” purchase - refreshing in a time that we have a monthly subscription for everything. I hope to see future improvements to the app, but it’s good to go as-is. If you are looking for a well rounded app, give the free version (non pro purchase) version. Not sure if the other reviews are old, but this app is solid currently.

Response from developer

Thank you, this means a lot. The lifetime option is staying. If you tell me which features feel broken (support@lorislab.fr or Settings → Support → Report a Bug), I'll put them at the top of the list.

Useless app

Even with the right authentication the server cannot be connected but instead continues to asks for authentication even though the test connection was successfully

Response from developer

Sorry, that loop was a real bug: the connection test could pass while the app still asked for a login. Recent updates fix login on Frigate's authenticated port (8971) and behind reverse proxies (sub-paths, login pages, custom headers such as Cloudflare Access). Please update and try again. If it still happens, contact support@lorislab.fr and I'll help you set it up.

Good start, early beta feel

Useful app but still has the feel of an early beta. Still I paid for it as I think it shows potential and want to support the dev. Will reevaluate as it grows.

Response from developer

Thank you for supporting Lumen early on. Since March, the app has had many updates: a Review feed redesign, HD live streaming, Frigate 0.17 support, and many stability fixes. I'd love to hear how it feels now: support@lorislab.fr.

Shows promise

Looks good but cannot get authentication to work.

Response from developer

Thanks for trying Lumen. Login has had many fixes since then, for Frigate's built-in authentication and for reverse proxies. Please give the latest version a try, and if login still fails, email support@lorislab.fr. I'll help you get connected.
