I’m needing some help, have had this running for years now, and it stopped reporting notifications on 2 of my cameras. just to make sure updates didn’t cause it, I updated to the most recent blueprint.
It didn’t correct the issue. I just had a car pull in my driveway, and while the automation fired, it doesnt go any farther than this point. I have the same issue with my doorbell camera.
Any thoughts?
Olla all;
Thanks for such an amazing blueprint. But I’m not sure what I have configured wrong - I have an custom action button, and the service is to turn on an input_boolean.
I dance in front of the camera, get the notification, press the custom button, and I get a relatively blank (webpage?) screen with 404 error.
Expected behavior was to turn on the input_boolean and the notification either dismisses or folds away.
Any ideas?
There is a pinned guide on the GitHub on how to read the traces. It will tell you exactly what is stopping it from running further.
This is for the two previous posters also
Which action button is set to do this? 1,2 or 3
Further to that. If it’s not 3. Try 3
Thanks mate;
I had it on 2. I’ll move it to 3.
A few of the links I chased on Github were also 404’n.
Edit; position 3 worked. Now just to ensure Silence New works in 2. ta mate
Hello Sir,
Looking at the Github guide and then my traces, they seem to go around the bell, so not sure how to check this?
Any thoughts?
You don’t have debug enabled
But you can click on the empty square one below where it branches to the right away from the main tree and that shows the results of the condition checks.
Thanks for your help here. I enabled debug and found the issue on one at least, but I dont understand why it’s not working.
My mapping of zones haven’t changed, and as you can see in my Pic the car is in the zone.
Any thoughts?
Make the zone a required zone for reviews within frigate and don’t use the zone filter in the blueprint. Review mqtt messages don’t get updated because of zone changes
That fixed it! I’m going to your github and sending you money for a beer! Thanks for all your work on this.
Next thing that I’m not sure if you can help with but I’m hoping you can give me ideas on how to address.
2 issues:
First when I receive an image it will either be zoomed in strangely, like my daughter is outside, and the notification will be a picture of her torso, or nothing at all like in screenahot below. It’s really the neighbors cat it was wanting to show me.
The next image showed it correctly
2nd issue is when I get a notification, but no image shows up at all, and I click on it and get this error.
I went in the traces and it’s showing a timeout error, and I’m not sure where that would be, or how to address it.
Thanks!

Uhh and I can’t find your buy me a beer link or support me or anything on the github, drop a paypal or something and I’ll send something your way.
Hello, I’m asking if anyone has any ideas on how to best deal with this problem.
I’ve set it to only receive notifications when no one is home, otherwise I’d be constantly getting notifications when the kids are playing outside. But if, for example, someone rings the doorbell, I’d always like to receive a notification or a photo so I can see who’s at the door without opening the camera feed.
Well, actually, it’s just the numerous notifications that are annoying. I’d prefer to always receive a message with a photo, and not just when the kids are playing outside. I don’t want to constantly receive a message. Is there any way to set this up in the Blueprint?
Are you kids playing ont he doorbell camera? If no, simply setup seperate automations. One for the backyard (only notify if not home) and one for the doorbell, always notify.
I personally use the lock state of my door. If it’s locked notify me. If it’s unlocked, then it’s probably us outside so I don’t notify.
The filters give you limitless ways to handle thisz you just need some other entities that determine when to notify or not.
1st issue, not really sure but could be variations in the frame used for the snapshot and the frame used for detection. Do you have cropping or something set up? Could play with that a little and see if a wider crop improves it.
2nd issue. It was likely a long event. The blueprint doesn’t wait forever. It could be changed I suppose but after some time it just stops waiting for an update by design.
Can’t speak to why the image doesn’t work unless frigate decided the event was no longer an event. But I didn’t think it did that with reviews.
does this blueprint support the use of using the genai to generate the thumbnail caption for the app notification?
thanks
Does this work with Frigate face recognition now, without using double take?
yes, sub labels are supported which works with Frigate’s built in face and license plate recognition features
Thank you!
I cannot answer your question, but I am interested how you even got “some” of them working at all.
I am receiving the pictures, but no buttons and video.
I have no NAS so I want to turn Telegram channel to my long term Video storage, but still no success.
Every time someone notices something of interest in the images, they ask me to post the video 
manually
I use HA Addon, v0.15 and the blueprint
Sometimes when i get a notification with the blueprint, the photo thumbnail is not there, just the words. In frigate UI, the thumbnail is there. How do i prevent this from happening? Thanks
