Frigate Mobile App Notifications 2.0

Anto79-ops · June 7, 2025, 3:12pm

hello,

I currently have my notifications set to alert me when an object enters the alert zone as follows:

Alert in {{ after_zones | first }} zone!

Is it possible to make the notifcation such that I get a notification when a person (or object) has enterered AND left the one zone only?

thank you

Hey mate,

I got the custom action working in Slot 3, however I tried to move the “Silence New Notifications” to slot 2, and it treats it like a URL, I get a 404 error screen.

I opened automations.yaml and manually entered in;

url_2: silence-{{ this.entity_id }}

But it does not work? Any ideas?

Thank you and apologies if this has been noted/asked previously. I am using iOS on an iPhone. Everything works as it should, except the clips won’t play. I copied and pasted the link for the clips and discovered that iOS will not play a clip from a url ending with .mp4 in any iOS browser I tested. However, I have no problem opening the clip url in any browser on Windows or MacOS. There seems to be a specific issue that iOS prohibits opening .mp4 files within a browser.

The m3u8 clip option should be used in this case

Thank you very much. I did not have the latest version of the blueprint and now see that as an option for clips and that it was also covered extensively here: [Issue]: IOS clip issues (broken play button) · Issue #308 · SgtBatten/HA_blueprints · GitHub

my rockchip frigate 15.1-RK keep the old frigate topic “events”
so create a rowback repo that contains the Frigate Notification Blueprint Version: 12.0.6

github.com/hqnicolas/Home_Assistait_blueprints

Frigate_Camera_Notifications/frigate_rockchip.yaml

main

blueprint:
  name: Frigate Notifications (0.12.0.6)
  author: SgtBatten
  homeassistant:
    min_version: 2024.11.0
  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: 2024.6
      - Minimum Frigate Version: 0.14.0
      - Minimum Frigate Integration Version: 5.7.0
        - **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

First, sorry for the noob question. I finally update my frigate from 13.2 to 15.1. Now I’m in need of the new blueprint. So how exactly do I update the old blueprint along with all of my frigate automations? Thanks in advance for the help.

Here’s a potentially useful bug. I have two front door cams, one is an IP camera connected to Frigate and the other is a Ring camera connected to HA through Ring MQTT (but NOT connected through Frigate). Both have “Front Door” in their names. When setting up the stream video button on this blueprint for the IP camera, I receive the stream from the Ring camera (even though it’s not connected to Frigate). This happens about half the time; the other time nothing loads. I presume it’s some sort of MQTT mismatch due to their similar names.

SgtBatten · June 25, 2025, 9:40pm

Possibly only works on the last slot. I remember updating the yaml to be the same for all 3 buttons but can’t remember the result. What version are you using of the blueprint?

SgtBatten · June 25, 2025, 9:41pm

Too many changes so I recommend you download it from the top post and stay from fresh

paperkite · June 25, 2025, 10:04pm

Shoot. Okay. Thanks for responding.

This got me on the right track how to send an additional notification with Signal using “Custom Action (Auto Trigger)” - thanks!!

The URL for the attachment seems to be wrong though:

{{base_url}}/api/frigate{{client_id}}/notifications/{{id}}/{{attachment}}

The variable {{attachment}} already has the complete path in my version of the blueprint, so “{{base_url}}/api/frigate{{client_id}}/notifications/{{id}}/” in front of "{{attachment}} is not required and would result in a wrong URL.

This is what is working for me in release 0.14.0.2w of the Blueprint:

action: notify.signal_my_phone
metadata: {}
data:
  data:
    urls:
      - "{{attachment}}"
  message: |-
    {{message}}

Regarding sending the clip instead of the snapshot, I would suggest to send the snapshot with a link to the clip, which will be a much faster notification and still provides the option of viewing the clip.

You can simply replace the last part of the {{attachment}} URL with clip.mp4 to access the corresponding clip.

action: notify.signal_myphone
metadata: {}
data:
  data:
    urls:
      - "{{attachment}}"
  message: |-
    {{message}}

    View Snapshot:{{attachment}}

    View Clip: {{attachment|replace('snapshot.jpg?bbox=1', 'clip.mp4')}}

This is a GUI snapshot of the Custom Action configuration for Signal which works for me:

Hope this helps!

SgtBatten · June 28, 2025, 1:18am

It didn’t always have the whole url. Nice work

frickadillen · June 29, 2025, 4:31am

First of thanks for this great blueprint!

I was wondering what the correct custom filter would be to get rid of notifications with {“success”:false,“message”:“Event not found”}?

How can I play frigate zone notification recording on android TV using homeassistant?

want to do this but with firgate zone notification as trigger and frigate recording as media.

Patty37 · July 8, 2025, 10:02pm

I’m having a problem getting these notification to work. Have I configured this properly?

Everything else is just default and I didn’t change anything.

Hey there. I recently updated frigate from 13 to 15 and that ment I needed to update my blueprint from 12.0.2 to latest. Now I got everything working pretty well but I’ve noticed one thing that isn’t working on my iPhone. Before I could long press on the notification and it would bring up a preview snapshot and the action buttons. Now when I long press it’s just a black box that’s acting like it wants to play something. I have initial attachment set to snapshot with bounding box. Should I choose something else? If I regular click on the notification the url opens with the snapshot with bounding box as expected. Just wish I could get the preview to work again. Any help troubleshooting this?

paperkite · July 9, 2025, 8:23pm

Update… I removed the option “live view entity - iOS only (Optional)” and now my notification long press is showing the snapshot like I wanted. Thanks for the great blueprint.

flyize · July 13, 2025, 6:29pm

I’m switching over to using Telegram and want to use Telegram Topics for the the different object notifications. Is that possible with this blueprint?

Patty37 · July 18, 2025, 9:00pm

Has this been implemented now?
