Can you send/recieve a test notification to your phone using developer tools > services
Edit: It’s possible the device id has changed, check that also.
The gif is a function of the built in way HA uploads to Android. On IOS it uploads the complete video.
I have just made a version with the video functionality and will upload it tonight as beta version d
done, will upload later as per above. same version beta d

Heads up, I’ve just updated to the latest HA and I’m no longer getting a thumbnail on either android or iPhone devices.
Not sure if it’s related but it’s the only thing I can think that’s changed over night.
Which version specifically? And what version of the blueprint? Did you update that too?
Latest blueprint available (reinstalled to be sure) and the following details for my HA:
Home Assistant 2023.5.4
Supervisor 2023.04.1
Operating System 10.2
Frontend 20230503.3 - latest
I’m doing my best to investigate on my side if there’s a fix. Will let you know if I find anything.

Stable or beta? I made changes to beta today
I’m using Stable.
Might be an anomaly to be honest. I deleted the blueprint, fully restarted system via “Reboot System” option and reinstalled it and it’s working fine now.
Sorry to be a pain!

Hello,
I went to developer and did the call and that did work.
I went into the yaml and checked what it was calling the device and it’s the same as I have it labeled in my group in my config yaml.
Could it still be the device id? I’m not sure how to check that. I’m not sure I’m calling that.
Thanks!
Strange… I just came home, after doing that test and got a notification… Its like it needed a reminder that it was right lol.
Thanks!

This is what I mean by sometimes IOS won’t get the thumbnail but Android remains unaffected, it’s very weird and hard to pin down why I think.
Yeah understand what you mean. Can you please start a GitHub issue and post the yaml for your automation(s) and when it happens I need a screenshot of the automation trace tree for both the working one and non working one.
Are you using update image on both?

Ok I will make an issue, and yea I have update image enabled on both IOS and Android automation, both with notification groups.
Here is the issue: [Bug] IOS thumbnails don't always send in notifcation · Issue #45 · SgtBatten/HA_blueprints · GitHub
How do I enable the video/clip option for iOS?
Can’t find any options in the settings.
Using version e
Just using the video input, set it to clip. I think I didn’t update it from saying android only maybe but it is for both now.
Okey, tried it but I’m not getting the clip, just a snapshot. Do I need to disable best picture feature?
Hmm okay. I don’t have an iPhone so thanks for testing.
This is the relevant bit.
url: "/api/frigate{{client_id}}/notifications/{{id}}/{{camera + '/clip.mp4' if video|length>0 and wait.trigger.payload_json['type'] == 'end' else attachment + '.jpg'}}"
It should only try to send the video once, 5 seconds after the event ends.
Not sure where to look initially for issues.
Edit. I’ve just added that exact code in the debug loop so we should be able to see if it’s correctly providing the url.
This update worked well, I can now view the iPhone real-time view in the push notification by referencing the generic camera entity, while everything else runs off the frigate camera entity.

This is an excellent blueprint. I’ve been using it since Frigate V10.
Following the thread, I can see there have been many updates. What is the preferred way to update?
Does the blueprint require the Frigate HA integration?
Since moving my Frigate to a separate server the integration no longer sets up but the Blueprint notifications still work OK.
It does to populate the camera entities. Off the top of my head it could work without it if configured properly maybe.
I have frigate on a seperate server too and the integration is fine.
