Frigate Mobile App Notifications 2.0

I’m seeing the issue on “2024.3.4-full” which looks like a pre-release version, I’ll open a bug report as it’s not a problem in latest version “2024.1.5-full” and hasn’t been in several of the other pre-release versions.

Edit: Being fixed in the next beta release: Image no longer shows on expanded notification · Issue #4300 · home-assistant/android · GitHub

Thanks - was wracking my brain over it last night and didn’t look at closed issues.

Is it possible to set another trigger? For example i would like to trigger the notification when my doorbell button is pressed. And if possible also stream the image to my nest hub. I habe this working with the reolink doorbell directly but i would love to use the frigate snapshots for everything.

No it’s not.

What you are after is a much simpler automation. This one relies on all.the Mqtt data.

Hi i am having a few problems with zones with this blueprint, if i turn off zones i get the notificaitons.

I have set my zone as per the picture below (one zone only), but the notificaiton does not seam to fire, here is output of the zone test (i just wandered out the front door for this test, i am sure it something simple I am missing but any guidence would be great.

Filters:
Zones:
zone filter toggle on: True,
Multi Zone toggle on: False,
Required zones: [‘front_door’],
Entered Zones: ,
Zone Filter TEST: FAIL,

Thanks

Mike

Which blueprint version are you using?

That debug output says nothing was in a zone

I can’t download this blueprint the URL is 404

Not sure why, you can manually copy the blueprint into a yaml file in your blueprints directory to get around it.

Hi am using 0.12.0.2,looking at the entity person count for the front path zone it showed 1 persons at the time I ran the test.

Please try the latest beta. So much is changed now I can’t go back and troubleshoot older code.

Hello @SgtBatten …I’ve been using your awesome notifications for a year now, but just recently. added facial recognition with DoubleTake. Is it possible to modify the blueprint to just show the detected face name (Frigate sublabel) instead of the full array that DoubleTake/Frigate seem to pass to HA now? Currently my notifications say “Person detected - Backyard” if no face detected, or “[“myname”,.99999] detected - Backyard” if a face is detected. I’d like to just have it say either Person or myname depending. Thank you very much!

@toddritt If you use the beta version of the blueprint, it handles the new format from Frigate.

I can’t seem to get this to work on iOS app. All it does is open the HA app, and doesn’t navigate to the Clip/Stream/Snapshot. Looks like a iOS limitation unfortunately.

Worked like a charm…thank you!!

Are you using a base url?

I’m using a a labelmap to combine both dog and cat objects into a pet object.
For some reason it won’t trigger for dog, cat or pet. Even though mqtt has all 3 objects. Any ideas?

Update:
Ok, apparently this is not supported. And if you have the default message changes from Cat/Dog it also breaks when you have multiple objects. But all good! Working fine now.

Can someone please point me in the right direction as far as how to control how the event notification occurs (iOS app vs. opening a browser and playing back the event?) As of now, when an event is detected, I get the HA iOS notification and then it opens the iPhone’s browser and plays the video. I’d like to have the option to open up the app and prompt me as to what I’d like to do (e.g, playback the video, etc.) Thank you.

Long press the notification to reveal the action buttons. Configure in the blueprint as desired.

Interesting, thank you. I just tested it out and selected the option to play the clip, it then opens up the browser. When I clicked on the snapshot, the browser opened, but nothing was there. Are you saying there’s a way to program this so it plays the clip within the HA app? Btw, it appeared to be playing a live view of the camera.

On android it’s easy to control. You either use a base url or you don’t. On iOS I’ve given up trying to understand all the combinations that work or don’t work. I’m sorry to say that but I don’t have iOS devices and everyone has different experiences so it’s impossible to track.

You can try not including a baseurl for the action buttons and they MAY open in the app.
