Frigate Mobile App Notifications 2.0

Yes sorry the label also needs a capital first letter.

So Person not person, Dog not dog etc

There is an example of this in the icon input if you want to compare. Select it and then check the yaml

Hi, would you consider adding the following functionality? I know this only works for android however under ā€œAction Buttons and URLsā€ > Tap Action;

Similar to ā€˜Open Reolink Appā€™ etc. have an option for ā€˜Open Custom Appā€™ and a field to be able to specify the app you want to open I.e ā€œapp://com.swannsecurityā€

Just for a bit of flexibility in what the tap action can/will do.

That field already supports it. Anything in those action button dropdowns is just an example.

Iā€™m using this push notification and am having some issues across one specific scenario.

When I receive a push notification on iOS through Frigate which is utilizing the go2rtc built-in re-stream, the clip gets pushed through OK but when I click the thumbnail to play the live stream, it ends up being a black box and doesnā€™t play. If I disable the go2rtc built-in re-stream and utilize the raw MJPEG URL from the camera, the thumbnail plays the live stream fine. Anyone know what the issue is? I think this is because iOS push notifications do not support playing live video unless its MJPEG. If thatā€™s the case, how do we make Frigate re-encode it to MJPEG while utilizing the low latency of go2rtc?

Hmmmm not my area of expertise Iā€™m afraid. Have you tried with it without a baseurl set

The problem persists even when sending a plain vanilla push notification with just the camera entity so dont think it is isolated to this blueprint. Let me try asking in the frigate / go2rtc threads.

One potential fix through this mobile app notification thoughā€¦ is it possible to use frigate for recorded clips/snapshots, but for the camera entity use a generic MJPEG camera in HA instead of frigateā€™s camera entity? The frigate one is pulling the go2rtc stream which is not MJPEG which is why the live streaming in the thumbnail/notification is not working.

Oh! Sorry, I didnā€™t notice that. Thank you for your work, this update to the blueprint is amazing.

Yes i believe I have this working now. Expect a github update at some point.

Iā€™m simply changing the true false toggle to an entity selector with all camera entities listed.

@SgtBatten Maybe this is why the thumbnails on iPhone stopped working in the last beta? They work on MacOS though.

Btw, I have it the ā€œOpen HA appā€ option selected for the notification but it just opens to the default lovelace dashboard instead of my custom Homekit Infused YAML dashboard. Anyway to set a custom page to open to fix this?

Not seeing reports of issues with thumbnails.

Yes, like most of those fields, just type in the custom address you want. e.g /lovelace/mycustomdashboard for in app or https://ha.mydomain.com/lovelace/mycustomdashboard for web browser.

Thanks!

Android notifications seem to be fine but sometimes thumbnails arenā€™t sent on the IOS app, itā€™s weird.

Itā€™s the sometimes that always makes things hard to troubleshoot. There are a bunch of variables and we need lots of data to figure it out. Best done on github too iā€™d say.

I checked and the most recent IOS notifications seem to have the thumbnail, maybe a couple of restarts refreshed it cuz when I first switched to the new blueprint this wasnā€™t the case.

Also thanks, I made the notification open the right page now :+1:

In frigate i track the following objects, person, car, cat and bird.
Is it possible to exclude bird so that i get only messages from person, car and cat?

Yes using the object filter, set it to all the ones you want to be notified about.

Thx, looked over that option yesterday.

Any progress on gif-video on iOS? Only feature I really really miss. Thank you for this awesome blueprint !

Hello everyone,

I am hoping to get some help here. Iā€™m not sure what I did, I updated my proxy website from duckdns to cloudflare, so had to uninstall home assistant app, and reinstall using the new website.

Iā€™ve changed everything on that end so the website/app works. However, I no longer receive my notifications from frigate. I went into the blueprints and updated the optional url to the new url I have made.

I updated the app to make sure it matched for my group notification setup so the notifications would go through.

I think everything is setup correctly, and the automations are saying they are working, but Iā€™m not receiving anything on my phone :frowning:

Any help is appreciated, what do you need from me to help figure this out?

Thanks!
