Camera Snapshot : Notify gmail with attachment

Configuration
1

Hello,

I have this automation which works fine :slight_smile:

automation:

  - alias: Camera - Test
    trigger:
    - entity_id: binary_sensor.door_window_sensor
      from: 'off'
      platform: state
      to: 'on'
    action:
      - data:
          entity_id: camera.camera_1
          filename: /tmp/snapshot1.jpg
        service: camera.snapshot
      - data:
          data:
            images:
            - /tmp/snapshot1.jpg
          message: oki
          title: example
        service: notify.mail_1

This automation put the image in the body of the email, and not as an attachment.

Do you know how to put it only in attachment ?

For information, my notify.mail_1 is like that :slight_smile:

notify:
  - name: Mail 1
    platform: smtp
    server: smtp.gmail.com
    port: 587
    timeout: 15
    sender: [email protected]
    encryption: starttls
    username: [email protected]
    password: password
    recipient:
      - [email protected]
    sender_name: Home Assistant

Thanks !

I tried with attachment instead of images, but it didn’t work. Same with files instead of images.
Any clue to add attachment ? (not on the body/inline) ?

Thanks

Hi @bonilla,

I’m just wondering if you found a solution to have the image attached to the message.

Many thanks.

This looks good, I have more than one camera however, can I still do this?

Hi, thanks for your code. But in my case it does not work. I receive the email but without an image. Only text. Do I have to prepare something when I use the service camera.snapshot?
First I tried this with iOS notification but to do so the camera must be accessible from the internet.
I hope its not the same with email notification.
that’s my code

hund:
  sequence:
  - service: camera.snapshot
    data:
      entity_id: camera.kamera
      filename: /tmp/snapshot1.jpg
  - delay: 
      seconds: 5 
      
  - service: notify.email
    data:
      message: Überwachungskamera
      data:
        images:
        - /tmp/snapshot1.jpg
