Frigate Mobile App Notifications 2.0

This is how I do it. Two automations (could be one with a wait but two is fine).

Triggers can be at your discretion. One extra I use is any chances to the timer I make restart the timer. So if I turn it on, then realise I want it off longer and adjust the timer, the correct end time is used.

I also have a time remaining displayed on my dashboard.

How do I fix this? Whenever I open a notification, this shows up. The video clips shows up after waiting for a few seconds then refreshing the browser.

Seems like you are trying to watch a clip the second the notification arrives and itā€™s not ready.

BeGood,
Thank you so much for this! I really appreciate the detailed response. Hopefully I can try to implement it this weekend.

Iā€™ve tried this a few times. When I add logic to the base_url, after I save and reopen the code, it changes the base_url to ā€œ [object Object]ā€.

Any ideas what Iā€™m doing wrong?

Well I spent a couple hours and could never get it to work. The error I get is ā€œ Message malformed: extra keys not allowed @ data [ā€˜triggersā€™]

I created the input_boolean and timer with the same name as you. That only leaves the last entity_id for me to fill in and when I was typing it out it kinda letā€™s me auto complete.

I was wondering , after I get the single version working, how do I turn off multiple automations with one dashboard button.

For instance I have a camera named ipc11 and one named ipc20. Some of the automations are:
ipc11_all_firetvs
ipc11_k_iphone
ipc20_all_firetvs

Can you think of what I might be doing wrong? I couldnā€™t find anything on google that helped. Sorry for going a little off topic.
Thanks.

Hi,
You may not have done the October updates yet (2024.10)?

The ā€œtriggersā€ key was added recently. The automations I shared are done on an up-to-date server.

TRY :

trigger:
  - plarform: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.pause_notifications
    to: "on"

INSTEAD OF :

triggers:
  - entity_id:
      - input_boolean.pause_notifications
    to: "on"
    trigger: state

Analyze how the automation works (when it works :grin:) and simply add other actions similar to the one that works.

Yeah, youā€™re right. I havenā€™t done the update yet. Iā€™ll be able to apply it tonight and give the automation another go. If triggers doesnā€™t work, Iā€™ll try your other suggested method. Thanks again.

I keep getting this error and its mostly for false positive detections. What can I do to filter this out in this blueprint? Frigate does not even save the snapshot or the clip since it has decided that its a ā€œmistakeā€ but the blueprint still notifies me. Is this something that you can filter out with the blueprint or is it all tweaking frigate config?

Move to the new frigate reviews based blueprint. Itā€™s in pull request 216 from memory.

Iā€™ve installed the template out of the box, pointed to my camera entity and Iā€™m getting notifications

However

Iā€™m getting spammed. Cool down is set to 30 but Iā€™m getting one every few seconds while the person/car is moving

No action buttons or clips or thumbnails

These seem to be enabled out of the box so what am I doing wrong?

Doesnā€™t seem to be even attempting to show any media

Cooldown is only for new events, not updates to the existing one.

I recommend using alert once which stops audio spam. Iā€™m surprised you would get updates to the extent youā€™d call them spammy given update image is off by default and is the primary cause for updates. Whatā€™s happening in the event broadly speaking?

No media could be an issue with your base url.

Depending on what your notifications setup is like you need to expand the notification to see the action buttons.

Hi! Thanks for the response. I have change the mqtt topic to frigate/review on one camera to test it out but unfortunately it did not give me notification even though frigate recognized the detection and also recorded the clip.

Is the beta blueprint the one for reviews?

@SgtBatten Is there a way to get the Blueprint and subsequent automations to use the authenticated API? My instance of home assistant is public for various webhooks and what not and I donā€™t really want to expose the public API endpoints to the internet. Have you or anyone come up with a clever solution for that?

The beta blueprint in the pull request is, not the main branch beta blueprint. You need to manually install it

Someone would have to know the frigate event ID in order to view a clip or thumbnail etc.

You can set the unauthenticated access to expire after a set time also, in the integration settings.

Thanks. Its this one correct? How exactly do I install this?

Edit: I figured it out.

Is the TV notification only work for Android and FireTV? Does it work on Roku/AppleTV? What if my TVā€™s OS is Android and I am currently watching a show with Roku Ultra, does the TV input change automatically to the android when it gets a notification from the blueprint or does it use pip? I have been checking youtube to see some examples but it looks like nobody has done it. I just want to get a notification/clip on my tv on doorbell press.
