Righto, so you have similar set up to me.
When you integrated into HA did you just use the internal ip address?
Is there something in the frigate or HA config that I need for them to communicate? Or just that the frigate config has my mqtt internal address
I’ve just set up a new automation with just base Url, camera and which device to notify on, I get the notification but no pics, when I clip clip or snap it doesn’t load anything as per the
heres my frigate config if it means anything? maybe you can suggest some changes if it needs it?
This is correct.
Oh you didn’t mention this. I asked if it worked and it wasn’t clear nothing loaded.
You have the frigate integration installed right? Is the box for unauthenticated access ticked?
The fact you are getting notifications means mqtt is working.
Ah my bad, sorry I thought that was implied when the pic wasn’t showing in the notification, I assumed it was all the same thing. But also reading my replies for earlier you asked if clicking the view snapshot worked, I was meant to say it doesn’t work. So here I am leading you on a wild goose chase sorry.
So for recap, I don’t get a little pic pop up in the notification, and when I click the 3 buttons at the bottom it doesn’t load anything. It just says:
This page isn’t working
If the problem continues, contact the site owner.
I do have it install (link at bottom) I was looking into that yesterday, but not sure what the version is. I had it install through HA probably a year or so ago but disabled it due to trying to source a coral. Finally got one and in the mean time upgraded my system from a small machine to a VM and unraid. And just added my new IP and away I went. Maybe I should delete it all in HA and start again.
All good. We both could have been clearer.
If it was just the notification thumbnail missing then it would be something to do with the automation.
But the buttons not working (and you’ve already showed the url it takes you to) means it’s got to be an integration issue.
Can you try reinstalling it. (not frigate) just the integration.
Great news, I’ve had success. How annoying though, all this muck around and it just needed to be deleted and installed again. Appreciate the assistance though mate.
Wasn’t doing it now, but I assume it will eventually ask for a login. Is there a way to input credentials into the automation so it’ll just go straight to it.
No, security is only through obfuscation with this setup. The event id would be hard to guess.
Ok thank you. Is it best to use detect on the sub stream? Obviously with the snapshot it’s a terrible pic and hard to make anything out from, lol.
It all very much depends on your cameras.
If objects are far from your cam or its particularly low resolution then you may prefer to detect on the main stream.
I have a mix of both
Hey everyone,
I have checked the thread but haven’t found anything that would help me.
I am trying to change the action buttons so I can arm and disarm the siren.
It should look like this:
Notifcation to my phone → I start the siren with an action button → the action button changes to “stop siren” → I stop the siren when I want ->the button changes again to “start siren”.
If that isn’t possible then one button should be “start siren” and one should be “stop siren”.
My problem is that I cannot find info on how to use custom URLs for service calls. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to work with the blueprint?
Thank you
Don’t think it’s currently achievable. It is possible but not without some very specific changes to give that function.
I’ll have to think about it. Could you please make it a feature request on GitHub. It won’t happen any time soon in afraid.
How do I stop random notifications that use old pics? For instance got one today at like 0830 from a pic that was taken at 0530, same thing got one just now from a pic I think was this morning.
Doesn’t really make sense as the urls used to grab the images contain event IDs so the images can only really be from the event.
That’s what I would have thought, you can see in these pics the times of when it was taken and sent
I received the notification at 0853, you can see the snapshot shows it as dark outside still and you can just make the time out at 0553
I figured it would be a static object after I responded.
If you press view snapshot is it the same image? Frigate determines the best image and that is what gets saved as the snapshot and thumbnail. Likely something else in the image created motion (a passing car or even just the lights from a car nearby are enough sometimes).
Static objects are a pain in the butt in general. I don’t track them at all and recommend people follow the recommendations for creating zones for cars so they only trigger events when moving in and out.
First off great blueprint - no complaints - easy to setup and so far seems to work very well. I do have one scenario that I don’t see anyway to handle - and wanted to ask if there was a workaround. The camera on my deck I would like to block from “alerting” to my phone between certain hours (the times where we would be triggering it from normal at-home activities) UNLESS I’m NOT at home. Is this possible with your blueprint? Also you need to have a paypal link somewhere - I found this automation useful and I like to contribute when folks have saved me hours of work trying to come up with my own solution…
Does anyone know if I can also use this with the Apllewatch? I can’t do it that if I install the app on the watch, I can’t watch the videos… On the iPhone it works without problems…
You should see the snapshot and also the actions buttons but not the clip, atleast not on my Iwatch
Yes that’s what I see …
Hi SgtBatten,
it seems that the Automation I have created, triggered by your automation, doesn’t work as it should be.
In fact the tts service is activated even when the event is outside the zones I have selected.
What should be the right trigger I should use in my automation to ensure only events occurred in the selected zones will activate the Action?
Should I add something in Condition of my Automation?
Thanks
