The main goal is to get notifications with a image if my camera detect motion. I am using an Amcrest IP2M-841B that i have setup on my Blue Iris server. The Blue Iris server is setting mqtt message to my Home Assistant when motion is detected. I am running the official Android app version 1.8.0-144. I understand the example from this page, https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/notifications/notification-attachments , but I am not sure what the URL should be for the image. Thanks

The one part that concerns me is this.
image ( Required ): The URL of the image to use as the attachment. This URL must be accessible from the Internet.

I don’t want expose my Blue Iris server to the Internet.

So far this has helped me. I have an mqtt sensor when the camera detects motion from Blue Iris. I created an automation when the motion is detected call this service.

notify.mobile_XXXXXXX

data:

title: Motion Detected
