I’m familiar with mobile, whatever @VinistoisR is trying to do is what I’d like to do as well.
How are you jumping directly to the specific camera view in HA? I can only figure out how to go to a “dashboard” in HA, not the actual live view. I think this is a limitation.
However, for jumping directly to Unifi Protect I think they have some protected adb intents. Jumping directly to a camera activity seems to result in a permission denial / security exception
./adb.exe shell am start -n com.ubnt.unifi.protect/com.ubnt.activities.timelapse.CameraActivity
Starting: Intent { cmp=com.ubnt.unifi.protect/com.ubnt.activities.timelapse.CameraActivity }
Exception occurred while executing 'start':
java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: starting Intent { flg=0x10000000 cmp=com.ubnt.unifi.protect/com.ubnt.activities.timelapse.CameraActivity } from null (pid=15243, uid=2000) not exported from uid 10340

However, when issuing
./adb.exe shell am start -n com.ubnt.unifi.protect/com.ubnt.sections.splash.SplashActivity
Starting: Intent { cmp=com.ubnt.unifi.protect/com.ubnt.sections.splash.SplashActivity }
This results in opening the Unifi Protect app’s last activity, which if the last thing you were on was the main activity, or a live camera view, it will be that.
Sending this as a HA notification would be the following, but it appears that you can lose the specific activity addition and just call on the app as the URI (https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/notifications/actionable-notifications#android-example)
service: notify.mobile_app_pixel_3
data:
message: 'test'
data:
actions:
- action: "URI"
title: "Open Unifi"
uri: 'app://com.ubnt.unifi.protect'
According to the HA docs, actionable notifications only show two examples: URI / URL
However, it appears if you change the action using the following example, you can achieve specific intents to launch into apps with: https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/notifications/notification-commands/#broadcast-intent
automation:
- alias: Send broadcast intent
trigger:
...
action:
service: notify.mobile_app_<your_device_id_here>
data:
message: "command_broadcast_intent"
title: "action"
data:
channel: "com.ubnt.unifi.protect"
I’ve tried executing the above action FROM the notification shade via the android app, but I am afraid the android app doesn’t support this kind of response. If you wanted a specific intent, you’d probably have to send an action to your HA instance, which then would reply via an automation. However, I couldn’t get this to work as I think you need to be part of the correct “category” for the action, which the HA android app doesn’t allow doing via actions at the moment.
service: notify.mobile_app_pixel_3
data:
message: command_broadcast_intent
title: android.intent.action.MAIN
data:
channel: "com.ubnt.unifi.protect/com.ubnt.sections.splash.SplashActivity"
Spent a few hours looking at this for fun this morning. Hope this is helpful
