Frigate Mobile App Notifications 2.0

Oh that might be it then. I just didn’t know that you need the integration for HA. My fault I will see it and post back

Edit: working as intended. Thank you very much for your patience.

Great!. The integration provides the APIs that the blueprint uses. So the mqtt side of things was working to trigger it, but the urls weren’t valid to access frigate.

Yep many thanks to have the patience and help me out.

Not sure if was a reply to me?? But this config is the action taken from the official HA documentation for iOS Notifications.

For now a basic notification without any images are working to at least alert me of Person or Car (not using the blueprint) but i need to raise an issue on github regarding the iOS notifications with images not working on iOS 16.4

Maps are working though…

Ahh yeah sorry I forgot we use the url parameter to override an android tailored image parameter. So yes that example should be working, as should this blueprint. Though I think you did say you were using the older version.

Zone not working
I searched and read this but there is no answer .
Zone part from the automation


frigate.yaml section

Any Idea why it notiying even when a person is in zone outside ?

Check frigate events tab. Definitely doesn’t say it went inside?

If not then check the automation trace. The check boxes under the choice symbol (multiple arrows branching out) will show the status of the conditions. You can also retrieve the changed variables at each loop iteration from the traces.

Edit: also which version of the blueprint are you using?

No im using the latest blueprint from the original post. However just uninstalled and reinsalled the iOS app and image notifications are now appearing…

Known iOS 16, watchOS 9, macOS 13 issues · Issue #2148 · home-assistant/iOS · GitHub

The original blueprint has not been updated in a long time and stopped working for a fair few people which is why I updated it. Up to you, if its working then great.

Thank you for this, I was going crazy trying to work out why my notifications weren’t working and this fixed it for me

Anyone have an idea ?
How can I debug the automation ? is there any explanation/tutorial for it ?

Please check my response to you above

Sorry for missing it .(thought it wasn’t for me :slight_smile: )
I think it’s my bad asa I have 2 automation when person detected by a camera and the notification seems to work fine while the other automation doesn’t have a filter on the zones .

Thanks for your help

No worries. Happy to help if there’s still an issue

@Symbiot78
Is it possible to perform some additional action after detection? I wanted to include additional actions in Node-Red, but unfortunately I don’t know how to combine it.
I’m currently trying to make some virtual notify.dummy object and read its state in node-red, but I can’t find if such a virtual notify entity is possible.

i assume you would be able to trigger via an automation.

just opened up my camera in frigate in Ha and clicked automations… lots of standard options.

I setup this notification up the other day and it works great on mobile devices (Android).

Today, I tried to set it up on my Sony TV with Android TV built in. The Frigate notification works
fine, but I cannot see a way to dismiss the notification. Only a restart of the Android OS removes it.

Anyone else experienced anything similar and is there a setting that I am missing? I have already tried toggling the ‘(Optional) TV Notification Interrupt’.

Other notification to the TV disappear accordance to the timeout values set.

Just tried to install this, and set it up. It is not triggering for me at all. The event shows up in Frigate, but the Automation remains Never triggered. Any ideas?

Two possible things you’ll need to do.

  1. Install the frigate integration if you don’t have it installed.

  2. Use tthis updated version of the blueprint instead of the original.

  3. @Sh500 pointed it out below but has edited the post so i’ll put it here too, your trigger zone needs a hypen and space before it. See examples of how lists look in the description of the blueprint at the top of the automation.

Hmm I’m not sure.

I have interrupt off and they self dismiss with no interaction after the timeout.

I’ll see if I can test with interrupt on later today.

Edit:
Can you give an example of a working notification, send one via the services tab if need be.
Also share the yaml of your automation which is not clearing properly.
