Actionable notifications on Android: camera stream?

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android
1

I managed to get notifications + actions + camera on iOS.
On Android, I don’t get the camera and can’t find the reason.

This is my automation:

service: notify.mobile_app_aphone
data:
  title: Doorbell
  message: Someone at the door!
  data:
    entity_id: camera.door
    actions:
      - action: OPEN_GATE
        title: Open Gate
      - action: LIGHTS_ON
        title: Turn on Lights

Any help is highly appreciated.

I do something similar when my garage door opens. You need to take a snapshot of the camera then link to it in the notification. Adjust for your situation:

  - service: camera.snapshot
    data:
      entity_id: camera.picam_garage
      filename: "/config/www/snapshots/garage_last_snapshot.jpg"
  - service: notify.mobile_app_person
    data:
      message: "Garage Door Just Opened"
      title: "HA Notification"
      data:
        image: "https://XXXXX.ui.nabu.casa/local/snapshots/garage_last_snapshot.jpg"
        ttl: 0
        priority: high
        actions:
          - action: "URI"
            title: "View Cam"
            uri: "/lovelace/garage"

Hi @keassol, thank you for your answer, I’m giving it a try right now.
So you call a lovelace view that has this specific camera only?

Yes, my click action on the notification “View Cam” just takes me to the Lovelace tab that has that camera entity.

Actually, here is a better example thats closer to what you are trying to do that shows click actions that don’t just bring up a lovelace view:

- id: garage_door_open_long
  alias: Garage Door Open For Long Time
  trigger:
  - entity_id: sensor.garage_door_currently_open
    platform: state
    to: Open
    for:
      minutes: 10
  action:
  - alias: "Set up variables for the actions"
    variables:
      action_open: "{{ 'OPEN_' ~ context.id }}"
      action_close: "{{ 'CLOSE_' ~ context.id }}"
  - service: tts.cloud_say
    data:
      entity_id: media_player.mpd
      message: "Garage has been opened for a long time"
      options:
        gender: female
      language: en-GB
  - service: camera.snapshot
    data:
      entity_id: camera.picam_garage
      filename: "/config/www/snapshots/garage_last_snapshot.jpg"
  - service: notify.mobile_app_person
    data:
      message: "Garage Door Open for Longer Than 10 Minutes"
      title: "HA Notification"
      data:
        image: "https://XXXXXXX.ui.nabu.casa/local/snapshots/garage_last_snapshot.jpg"
        ttl: 0
        priority: high
        actions:
          - action: "{{ action_close }}"
            title: "Close Garage"
          - action: "URI"
            title: "View Cam"
            uri: "/lovelace/garage"
  - alias: "Wait for a response"
    wait_for_trigger:
      - platform: event
        event_type: mobile_app_notification_action
        event_data:
          action: "{{ action_close }}"
  - alias: "Perform the action"
    choose:
      - conditions: "{{ wait.trigger.event.data.action == action_close }}"
        sequence:
          - service: switch.turn_off
            target:
              entity_id: switch.garage_opener_double
