    ## Frigate Notifications

    This blueprint will send a notification to your device when a Frigate event for the selected camera is fired. The notification will initially include the thumbnail of the detection, but include an actionable notification allowing you to view the clip and snapshot.

    With this blueprint, you may send the notification to multiple devices by leaving "Device" blank and instead use a [notification group][1].

      - An MQTT broker connected to Home Assistant and Frigate.

Good morning, I am having some trouble getting frigate notifications when useing zones. As soon as I put a zone on it no longer sends my phone a notification. It still triggers a event on the frigate and show as triggered on automations, but not notification sent to phone. As soon as I take the zone off my phone will get notifications again.

Hope you can help.

Turn on debug and review the trace. Is the zone entered when the event starts? Is it entered later?

What is the config of the automation

wishwashjosh · August 23, 2024, 11:17am

Traces shown below. 0.1 seconds for is the one with the zone active. 13.41 is the one without the zone active.

You need to look at the conditions and confirm what was false in order to execute no actions

wishwashjosh · August 23, 2024, 11:43am

Conditions of what the automation?

SgtBatten · August 23, 2024, 11:55am

Here’s something to get you started.

github.com

SgtBatten/HA_blueprints/blob/6156581ee5291e2487b506ff83885b5decbe68b9/Frigate_Camera_Notifications/Guide - Debug Option.md

### Debug Option

The blueprint contains a toggle to enable some debug output. To enable it, scroll to the bottom of the automation and toggle Debug to on/true

Note you can increase the number of stored traces by adding this to the beginning or end of the automation while editing it in yaml mode:

```
trace:
  stored_traces: 40
```


Now, after the automation is trigger we will be able to find the debug output in the trace. 

First go the the automation and select traces in the top right.

Occasionally, I’m getting an “Event not found” error when clicking on a clip. I’ve verified the clip is in Frigate. Is this something I need to enable Debug for, or is this something obvious I’m doing wrong. If it matters, some clips work.

crzynik · August 23, 2024, 5:57pm

If the event does not exist in the frigate UI then you should just add a filter has_clip to ensure the notification only is sent when the event has a clip

flyize · August 23, 2024, 8:06pm

The clip is in Frigate

bremby · August 23, 2024, 10:35pm

I started using the blueprint, but I need help with the urls, i can’t get any of them

previously I never had issue with my automation

api/{{trigger.payload_json[“after”][“camera”]}}/person/best.jpg

from where I should start the troubleshooting?

SgtBatten · August 24, 2024, 9:10am

Are you trying to open the clip immediately, as in possibly before it’s saved in frigate.

SgtBatten · August 24, 2024, 9:11am

All we are using is the frigate integration APIs

bremby · August 24, 2024, 3:17pm

Sorry, help me to understand

I checked the trace, and all the urls I see in the variables seems to be not valid

I use frigate 0.14 and the beta blueprint

flyize · August 24, 2024, 7:48pm

I thought that too, but I’ve gone and checked the clip in Frigate and tried again from my phone - same error.

SgtBatten · August 24, 2024, 9:45pm

Have you verified the url is good. I.e the event ID and camera name are correct.

SgtBatten · August 24, 2024, 9:47pm

Invalid how?
