Yes using the custom action manual this should be simple enough.

How would I do it? How can the separate automation be triggered when the custom action manual button is pressed on the iOS notification?

Boba_ferret · October 27, 2024, 2:46pm

I’m using Frigate beta 0.14.1 and your beta blueprint version p.

Apparently, I should be using frigate/reviews for the notifications, not frigate/events, but if I change the blueprint to use /reviews, I don’t get notifications, but I do on /events, although have been getting phantom notifications, which I believe using /reviews is supposed to resolve. I can see in MQTT that there are topics being sent to HAOS, from /reviews.

crzynik · October 27, 2024, 3:42pm

If you are using the correct beta blueprint it will be /reviews by default

Boba_ferret · October 27, 2024, 4:05pm

~~I’m using the Beta that’s linked in the first post, but it’s using /events.~~

~~I’ll try importing it again~~

I see now that is for Frigate 12 and I’m on 14. I’ve found the 14 branch on github, but it won’t import, saying invalid url.

Please can you post the link to the Blueprint fur use with Frigate beta 0.14.1?

SgtBatten · October 27, 2024, 7:52pm

The main branch beta will work fine.

If you want the reviews features you need to manually install the 0.14 blueprint.

Boba_ferret · October 27, 2024, 8:10pm

Thank you. So to confirm, if I want to use the 0.14 blueprint, I import using this url?

github.com

SgtBatten/HA_blueprints/blob/6cb0b878e1e313e5ba172f4b8159105a15f3a6c0/Frigate Camera Notifications/Stable

blueprint:
  name: Frigate Notifications (0.12.0.4a)
  description: |
    ## 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].

    ### Software Version Requirements
      - Minimum Home Assistant Version: 2022.2
      - Minimum Frigate Version: 0.11.0
      - Minimum Frigate Integration Version: 3.0.0
        - **Note:** "Enable the unauthenticated notification event proxy" must be ticked during setup
      - An MQTT broker connected to Home Assistant and Frigate.
      - Minimum iOS Version: 15.0

    ### Required entities:
      - Frigate Camera Name
      - Mobile Device (Running HA Companion App)

SgtBatten · October 27, 2024, 8:24pm

No,

The only file that is edited in the 0.14 branch is the beta. And you can’t import (maybe you can with the right url but I’ve never tried). You need to copy the raw file and paste it into a new file in your blueprints folder inside HA

Boba_ferret · October 27, 2024, 8:34pm

Ah, ok, that all makes sense now. Thank you. I’ll try the copy and paste.

cahrli181 · October 28, 2024, 11:55pm

Hi All,
I am trying to work this out - I am getting my “crtical” notfications as expected on my android phone, however the sound keeps playing until I actual click the notification. This is a little bit anoying as I may not have the phone next to me and i may not get to my phone for some minutes and this ends up annoying the people around me.

Am i missing some configuration option to only have the sound play once?

SgtBatten · October 29, 2024, 3:57am

Yes,

Critical means it will play the sound.

If you need critical you could write a condition such as

Which will only play if it’s triggered before the loop starts. The side effect of this will be that if your zones are setup in a way that doesn’t result in events as soon as the object is detected you won’t get the sound as it won’t notify you until it’s already in the loop.

Hello all, looking for some help with my notifications.

I have MQTT working with Frigate (tested that MQTT is receiving frigate/events).
I am using blueprint 0.12.0.4e, and it is setup correctly
I did have this setup and working before, but somewhere between updates it stopped working.
No notifications are being sent to my android phone, I did check to make sure the notifications were on for the home assistant app. I did try running the automation manually.
I do get other notifications from other automations.

I did see this in the log after running the automation:

Logger: homeassistant.components.automation.frigate_back_camera
Source: components/automation/init.py:776
integration: Automation (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 10:24:35 AM (3 occurrences)
Last logged: 10:32:33 AM

Error while executing automation automation.frigate_back_camera: Unable to find notify service for webhook ID

Any idea on how to test that the blueprint is receiving the MQTT data, and sending the notification to the app?

bremby · October 29, 2024, 6:28pm

sorry, but I don’t see /reviews

SgtBatten · October 29, 2024, 7:55pm

The version you are using is for events topic.

bremby · October 30, 2024, 11:15pm

sorry, can you point me to version with /reviews?

Avunculo · October 31, 2024, 6:21am

Hello, the notification works with my ipad pro 11. But i don’t get notification with my iPhone 12 mini. Anybody idea?

miles.beattie · October 31, 2024, 11:10am

Could you add the option of using google gen AI to populate the description instead, based on what it sees in the image?

E.g.

- service: google_generative_ai_conversation.generate_content
      metadata: {}
      data:
        image_filename: ####
        prompt: >-
          very briefly describe the person you see in this image from my front doorbell
          camera. Your message needs to be short to fit in a phone
          notification. Don't describe stationary objects or buildings.
      response_variable: generated_content

- service: notify.mobile_app_###
      data:
        title: "Someone Is At The Front Door"
        message: "{{ generated_content.text }}"

Anyone here experience some issues with the clip view in the last frigate 0.15 beta?

youkorr · November 2, 2024, 5:03pm

Hi everyone, but it would also be nice if we could receive notifications on the esphome LVGL displays, but the problem is that esphome only takes PNG snapshots. Is there a solution on the blueprint without having to use third-party software on Windows? Thank you.
