yes, but I set it h.264 but need to recheck
Is it possible to open the clips/snapshots within the HA media browser? each one opens a new tab in Safari and cleanup is getting a bit wild.
iOS seems really funny. It works for some people so you can try and see.
Select the desired action button actions in the drop downs (select something else and then reselect the desired one if using the default ones) and now they will appear in the yaml view. Remove the baseurl variable from them so they start with /api
So if I only want to get snapshots when Iām on mobile data, is there any easier way than:
- Duplicating every blueprint, setting one to thumbnail and one to snapshot
- Having another automation that disables one and enables the other when the Companion app detects a change in wifi status
And actually, Iād have to break everything out it triplicate, as I have automations that currently send to both mine and my wifes phones, but one of us could be on wifiā¦
Yes you would need to do this currently. It is probably possible to show templating the attachment field to make it achievable with one automation but not currently.
Not necessary, we already have the state filter.
Yes you would.
Ive never used groups personally. I want all notifications and my wife only wants certain cameras and only if Iām not home so we always had different needs.
If I was in your shoes though. Is simply set it to thumbnail and be done with it. You can always click view snapshot to see the larger image within a second or two and it saves you data as well as duplicating the automations.
Either thatās a typo, or I need some clarification here. What gets sent to the device with thumbnail? Is the whole event only sent when I select clip? And then, what is the difference in the user experience between the two (on Android if it matters)?
Thanks as always for your patience.
Should have been data not days sorry.
The difference between snapshot and thumbnail is primarily resolution. Snapshot being a slightly higher quality image. You can still see and image of the object with either.
The action buttons enable you to load the video or snapshot etc upon selection, so they arenāt costing you data until pressed
Your concern was the video size yesterday. That only gets sent if video is enabled.

Can someone help me understand cooldown a little better? I have the automation set for a 30 second cooldown on my Front facing camera, however when a car drives past I get several notifications all in a few seconds.
Not entirely sure what I am missing.
Cooldown is for different events. Sounds like you are just getting updates to the one car event?
That could be the case, but I am not sure how I would go about fixing that. Not sure if there is a motion
cooldown option in frigate.
The most common reason for follow up notifications is having update thumbnail enabled.
There is also the alert once option for some devices to silence updates.
Today Frigate integration v5.00 beta 1 was released.
This brings an important change for us with this blueprint. Now the camera entities that get created will have attributes for the camera name and for the client id.
Once i have had a chance to look over the update I will be able to permanently fix all issues caused by camera entities ending in _2 or other oddities with names that cause a mismatch with frigate. It will also mean people can rename their camera entities however they like without causing issues.
I wont have time to make any changes for a little bit, but expect a big stable release followed by a beta release which will incorporate those changes.
If anyone has issues with the current beta, I really need them documented ASAP so i donāt publish something to stable that is causing problems. iOS group notifications seem to be my most challenging item still with different users experiencing different things. Please reach out or create a GitHub issue if you have weird behaviour.

Hi! Thanks very much for creating this blueprint! I wonder if it would be possible in a future release to be able to select an MQTT topic other than frigate/events?
This is already possible in the beta and soon in stable when I get a chance. Maybe this weekend.

What are the recommended troubleshooting steps or tips for notifications that cannot be opened (says ānet::ERR_INVALID_RESPONSEā).
Link is showing up as āhttp://192.168.1.10:8123/api/frigate/notifications/xxxxxx/snapshot.jpg=external_auth=1ā.
Frigate 0.12.1-367d724
Frigate Notifications (0.12.0.1p) (Beta)
HA 2023.9.2
Thank you!
Are you on your local network when opening this?
For some reasons it was reset to h.265.
Now properly set and everything works well.
thanks
Yes! (apologies for the delayed answer).
I have Nabucasa setup, but the HA apps connects locally when I am connected to my WiFi.
I use this blueprints
Please can you explain how to add in this automation, a way to:
Save every clip from every events, into a folder ? >( folder in cloud of course )
Keep these data in local, is dangerous, because a thief, can destroy them, and we donāt have any proof.
In beta 0.12.0.1q and later you can trigger any action.
So if you have a script or anything to commence uploading to a cloud service then you can trigger it within this blueprint.
The āhowā is entirely outside of the blueprint, you can just trigger anything else now.
