Thanks so much for your reply and help. I do have the mobile app installed. I am able to perform tests. In home assistance, I just been testing the notifications from the developer tools. I apologize if this is not the proper way to send over the info.
Below is what I have in the configuration.yaml

This is what I have been using to test the video feed. It works when I have an image. With the video, only the notification is displayed without the video.
action: notify.tvoverlaynotify
data:
message: The garage door has been open for 10 minutes.

@nodinosaur wow, just installed your app and it looks very promising after the first few minutes.
Something for your consideration: maybe you should create your own thread where we can discuss with you when needed. It will also give you more visibility and might grow your user base.
@ Imygaf ⌠same results. the notification works, but no video. I will keep a look out for another solution. Thank you so much for taking the time to look at this.
Any plans to change the look of the notifications? I get a portrait shaped notification, with the writing at the bottom. Not exactly the neatest looking, so it would be nice to be able to make formatting changes, like align text within the popup etc.
I donât understand what you mean, please could you show me or DM me a picture of what you see?
For me looks like this:
Text is aligned, I have an icon representing the camera type and as you know you can change colours of the frame too.
(grey , black , indigo , green , red , cyan , teal , amber , pink . add your own custom color. i.e. #282C35)
(With the the next release youâll be able to hide the frame completely).
Maybe in a future release I can add further styling, but there are other features that take priority.
A new version of the app is currently being tested that has a lot of tweaks, including frameless, the configuration docs are here: Config
Hi @nodinosaur,
Thank you for your app. Itâs great.
Could be possible to select a not fixed notification layout at rest/mqtt level?
For instance:
First create the desired layouts (for my needs i have created 3 different color background: info (cyan), warning (orange) and danger (red))
Then call the layout through rest or mqtt (like layout: danger)
code goes in your configuration.yaml file
I had to restart home assistant to get the new actions to show up. The quick reload option doesnât work.
Use the rtsp link from go2rtc. for whatever reason, the direct rtsp link to my Unifi G4 Doorbell doesnât work (port number and rtsps changed to rtsp). But I went into the go2rtc UI and used the rtsp link it gives for the doorbell feed and that one worked fine
