Camera - Send & Save snapshot to mobile device when motion is detected with Conditions. Now with Custom Triggers!

I have REO-LINK cameras that are currently integrated with HA. How would I set this BP up to work with them. It looks great!!

Each camera needs its own.

As long as HA recognizes the camera, so should this blueprint.

I found the snapshots do not work properly with Ring Doorbell cams. It doesnt force the Ring camera to take a new snapshot. It uses the last snapshot that the Ring itself took… which could be an hour old. I have not yet found a way to fix this.

If anyone knows how to fix for Ring Doorbell cams please LMK.

So I’ve been having this issue and it does not seem to be an issue creating a Snapshot, but either our devices or some intermediary (like Cloudflare) are caching the image. I tested it out based on another post adding a timestamp to the url. Changes in the YAML look like this:

    data: >-
      {% set timestamp = as_timestamp(now()) %} {% set android_data = {"image":
      snapshot_access_file_path ~ "?" ~ timestamp} %} {% set ios_data = {
        "attachment": {
          "url": snapshot_access_file_path ~ "?" ~ timestamp,
          "content_type": "JPEG"
        }
      } %} {{ ios_data if is_ios else android_data }}

Perhaps an anti-caching feature like this could be implemented into the Blueprint?

I thought the BP pulls from a local source (drive/folder)?

It should be just HA trying to take a snapshot of the camera. It should not relay on Ring to take the snapshot

It doesn, from HA /media folder

Sure, I can look into this this weekend.
