That is a good point. Its one notification that can be swiped away, rather than multiple ones. It updates the image constantly throughout the motion and triggers an android notification sound each time. This results in my phone binging 5-10 times when somebody walks up the drive etc.
Sure thing, I will PM you
In that case, enable Alert Once on my fork which should mute the updates. Itās just above Update Thumbnail in the UI.
Can confirm both these options work great on both iPhoneās and Androidās 
FYI, you were on the money 
Reconfigured MQTT in Frigate config and everything is working perfectly! Thank you!!!
p.s. And apologies for the false error messages.
Still getting 404: not found on the notifications. The snapshot is displayed properly in the notification, but attempting to look at the clip or screenshot always 404ās
Can you screenshot the 404 please?
Can you view the clip and snapshot using the frigate interface?
Can you access home assistant outside your network?
Thank you for all your work on this blueprint, it works very well and the best iāve come across.
I am trying to send notification to android mobile and android TV using a notification group.
Frigate Notifications work fine to mobile using the group but do not arrive to the tv using your automation (tried 0.11.0.8 and 0.11.0.8b)
Test with developer tools / services and notifications go thru to both phone and TV using same group.
Any suggestions?
The way I have it setup currently wonāt do a group with phones and the tv app.
The issue Iām trying to resolve is to get images displayed on the tv.
We have two options.
We forget the pictures and then I can enable groups like you have just tried.
I keep trying to solve the image problem, but groups wonāt be possible containing both.
The issue is the formatting of the image url needs to be different for mobiles vs tv.
In any case, Iām leaning towards option 1 because so far I have not got images figured out at all.
For now, create a second automation for your tv notifications.
Thank you. Iāll try your suggestions and see how I go.
I did find this link which may help you with image notifications to tv. Maybe.

Thanks I will take a look.
I forgot to mention you need to set the toggle to true for tv notifications down where the tv settings are. Thatās why the group doesnāt work currently.
Thanks, turning on the toggle to True for TV notifications did the trick. Iām just running two automations as suggested to get mobile and TV notifications.
I look forward to your next progress on this. Iām sure youāll work out images to TV.
Hello everyone I am also interested in the possibility of receiving a message in telegram. I assume that you need to change the notification capability in the frigate_0.11_notification file.yaml is somewhere here:
device:
integration: mobile_app
multiple: false
notify_group:
name: Notification Group
I just had a quick look at telgram and it may be fairly easy to get most functionality working.
What happens if you type the name of your telegram notification group/service in the notification group section? do you at least get the title and message? If there is an error, please provide it.
The blueprint relies on mqtt messages as the trigger.
The MQTT config in frigate.yaml is meant to contain the username and password of your mqtt application (mqtt addon in your case)
You can setup a login for frigate in the config for mqtt
I have image notifications to the tv working in beta 8c.
If you want to do a group that has both android TV and android phones you can notify both but you have to chose which one gets the snapshot using the TV Notifications toggle. Otherwise you can still continue to get snapshots on both by having two separate automations.
I tested my MQTT with the offical frigate automation. With this one everything is perfectly working. With your latest beta I donāt receive anything.
This snippet is the offical way for notifications that is working.
alias: Notify of events
description: ""
trigger:
- platform: mqtt
topic: frigate/events
action:
- service: notify.mobile_app_iphone_von_XY
data_template:

when: "{{trigger.payload_json[\"after\"][\"start_time\"]|int}}"
Is there some incompatibility with my frigate versions?

Canāt say for sure but do you have the payload from any mqtt messages you can view? maybe from the trace of the frigate example that did work?
i suspect it might be due to use of hyphens in the cam name. if the payload contains the camera name with hyphens that is problematic. I know there are a bunch of historical posts in this thread about using underscores instead of hyphens.
In anticipation of the response being yes, iāve updated beta 8d with a possible fix for you to try.
is there a bug with notification delay? Its set to 300second, and home assistant says the notification is being triggered constantly via ālast triggeredā on automation dashboard because it can see cars on the road. The phones are not notified because the cars must be on driveway as it is a zone filter. This is expected behaviorā¦ however now when a car crosses driveway, no notification is sent to the phones because the blueprint is forever on cooldown from seeing cars on the road despite road not being on zone filter!
Using 0.11.0.6f
Thatās what I would expect as it uses the last triggered time to determine cooldown.
I would remove the cooldown from your car notification, doesnāt sound necessary to me.
Moving the conditionals for zone checking to top level solves the problem. As it will not allow home assistant to trigger the automation, thus preserving a true ālast triggeredā for cooldown checking.
I see what you are saying. That might be achievable but i can think of a few reason whys it is the way it is.
The automation is designed to run for the duration of a frigate event. In order to track that an event is indeed the same event, it needs to run in a loop and validate future mqtt messages against the stored id. Without looking into it just yet, if we block an event from triggering the automation then if the object later enters the desired zone, frigate wont be creating a new event, just updating the existing one.
A rework of how it reads the mqtt payload might produce a way to do it, weād have to stop looking for new events and instead trigger based on something else unique perhaps.
Thanks.
Did you try using the newer beta with the hyphens as well or just changed the name in frigate?
