Are you sure you don’t have a random space in your filename? It looks like it is trying to send / as an attachment.

Also, try quoting the filename.

thanks nockrout for replying, there is no random space in the file name,
ps: it works if i use pushbullet with the same path/filename.
I tried to quote the filename, same error.

I must say I have found pushbullet the most reliable of the notify integration I have tried with HA.

PS perhaps file an issue on github.

Thanks, but the problem that i had with pushbullet, if i want to send a notification with a 30 seconds video (mp4)size of 380ko, that i have previously recorded from camera, I only receive a 3 second of the video.
This is why I trying differents solution to send video.

Same issue myself - was there a fix in the end?

7

sorry no. if you fix it let me know. thanks

This is an automation I have that works:

- alias: 'Door Bell'
  initial_state: True
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.door_bell
    to: 'on'
  action:
   - service: notify.doorbell_email
     data:
       title: "Someone is at the door"
       message: 'Someone is at the door'
       data:
           images:
               - /config/www/cameras/front_door/snapshot/snapshot.jpg

It’s the dash sign before your picture directory reference.
Since the parameter “images” expects an array of images, the dash in front indicates that it’s an element of an array.

data:
images: /tmp/snapshot.jpg
vs

data:
images:
- /tmp/snapshot.jpg
