I’m having a problem with motion notifications from Frigate. I receive the notifications, but way too often the attached image(s) isn’t included in the message.
I’m using Gmail and Telegram broadcast to send the notifications. I’ve looked at the automation and script traces, but I can’t find any differences between the notifications that include the image and the ones that don’t. Also, if I copy the service call and its parameters from the trace and input them into the Service call tool, the notifications always go through fine.
I thought that maybe the image file isn’t written yet when the automation tries to read it. So I added delays, but it hasn’t changed anything. I’ve also added a check that reads the Frigate event data to check that there is a snapshot available.
I’m not posting any yaml (yet) as I can’t see how it could have any errors, since sometimes the same yaml code(s) works.

Seeing the automation yaml is a must otherwise it is just guessing, seeing how it is working can give clues on the intermittent behavior.
