Android Attachments Notifications from Blue Iris

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

Hi, look at the other thread, with push notifications… Examples enough there

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.

You must place the image somewhere …

Any advise on where and how to get them from the Blue Iris folder to a webserver?

Sorry, don’t know bluebiris

Look at the top of the page (3rd paragraph) it describes whats expected in some detail and the options available.

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:

message: Motion detected
title: Motion Detected
