Ive never had the problem but curious where that setting is now as I can’t see the word general anywhere
In the Companion App on my iPhone it’s Settings > Companion App > General > Radio button for “Remember last page” 
Just wondering I’m using the v10 blueprint and somtimes when I 3D touch the notification I can see the video / clip loading on the expanded notification. It only works sometimes any hints how I can get the behaviour to work all the time?
Thanks
Hello, I am running HAOS on a rasperry pi with frigate proxy to a seperate machine running frigate. I have the notifications working, but the snapshot and clips 404. I have seen a couple of posts about “Enable the unauthenticated notification event proxy” and even a couple of screenshots of the setting, but I can’t find it anywhere. Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
ive had the same issue, just getting thumbnail not found errors. I have been unable to find a solution to fix yet
Hello @hunterjm - I have Frigate 0.11 Beta running and have your blueprint imported. I created the automation but I’m getting the following error:
Stopped because of unknown reason “null” at August 23, 2022, 9:38:38 AM (runtime: 0.01 seconds)
The camera is working as is Frigate FA.
Any ideas?
TIA
You need to first enable “Advanced Mode” for your user in Home Assistant.
For that go to the profile Home Assistant user (bottom left in the web UI) and there you can enable “Advanced Mode”.
Then you should see and be able to enable the “unauthenticated notification event proxy” option the settings of the Frigate integration.
Also, if you get 404 errors for clips and snapshots, make sure that you enabled recordings and snapshots under your camera in the Frigate configuration.
record:
enabled: True
snapshots:
enabled: True
In case it’s more helpful to see the whole story, I try to document how to setup Frigate notifications here: The Ultimate Guide to Frigate NVR Notifications · Simplepush
Great blueprint, is there anyway to ad an option where blueprint checks if specific entity is true? For example I want notifications only if “Allow notifications” helper entity I created is true within HA.
I have modified mine to have an extra field which i called state filter. You can turn it on or off and it allows you to select an entity and set what state it must be in and the blueprint only sends notifications when true. It wasn’t too difficult.
I use it for only sending notifications if my front door is locked, because i kept getting notifications about myself going in and out of the house.
Once you use this updated one you can set the state filter to on, set the entity to the name of your input entity and set the states to - true.
blueprint:
name: Frigate Notification Improved
description:
"## Frigate Mobile App Notification\n\nThis blueprint will send a notification
to your device when a Frigate event for the selected camera is fired. The notification
will initially include the thumbnail of the detection, but include an actionable
notification allowing you to view the clip and snapshot.\n\nWith this blueprint,
you may send the notification to multiple devices by leaving \"Device\" blank
and instead use a [notification group][1].\n\n### Software Version Requirements\nMinimum
Home Assistant Version: 2022.2\nMinimum Frigate Version: 0.10.0 Beta 10\nMinimum
Frigate Integration Version: 2.2.0\nMinimum iOS Version: 15.0\n\n### Required
entities:\n - Frigate Camera Name\n - Mobile App Device **or** the name of a
Notification Group\n\n### Optional features:\n - You can optionally send the
notification as a critical alert.\n - You can choose whether or not to update
the notification with new thumbnails as they become available.\n - You can limit
notifications to objects entering pre-defined [zones][2] in Frigate.\n - You
can specify which [zones][2] to be notified about. This must be a list (e.g.):\n
\ ```yaml\n - backyard\n ```\n - You can specify what type of [objects][3]
to be notified about. This must be a list (e.g.):\n ```yaml\n - person\n
\ - car\n ```\n - You can disable notifications if a presence entity or
group is \"home\".\n - You can configure a cooldown for the camera to reduce
the number of notifications when back-to-back events occur.\n - You can silence
future notifications for a defined amount of time through actionable notifications.
This is helpful in situations where you know you will be triggering detections
for an extended period of time. i.e. kids playing outside.\n - You can set a
loitering timer to notify you of stationary objects that remain for a set period
of time.\n\n[1]: https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/notifications/notifications-basic#sending-notifications-to-multiple-devices\n[2]:

I think that this is what I need, but I’m not sure. I want the notifications active when my alarm system is either armed_stay or armed_away (that is, if we are sleeping or if we’re not at home). Will this work for me then? Is the state filter using AND or OR?
Yes it will work for you.
I set it up so you have one entity and any number of acceptable states but my use case is only a single state so far so if you find it not working, please let me know.
The states field would be like
- armed_away
- armed_stay

So the blueprint seemed to be working great for like a week but now idk what’s going on, the automations for the notifications say they’re firing, but I actually get the notification sent to my notification group like maybe half the time
Out of the 3 automation that says they fired here, only one notification was actually sent to our phones, hopefully, someone has a fix for this. Like it says they’re triggering but not receiving them on the phones anymore. @hunterjm
Maybe you were out of notifications for the day? The Home Assistant app only allows for 500 notifications per day.
You could also subscribe to the frigate/events topic with a MQTT client and write all events to a file. This way you could verify that it’s really the sending of the notification that fails.
Ok could you tell me how to subscribe to this so I can test it please?
And no don’t think its the rate limit, based off how many events recorded its no where near the 500 and it doesn’t say anything about rate limit in the logs.
To log the MQTT events it is probably the easiest to install a MQTT client on the machine that runs Home Assistant.
If it is a Debian based Linux, you can just do: sudo apt install mosquitto-clients
Then mosquitto_sub -h host -t frigate/events will subscribe to the Frigate events. Just replace “host” with the hostname of your MQTT server which might be “localhost”.
If you defined a user and password for MQTT, you can provide them like this:
mosquitto_sub -h host -t frigate/events -u user -P password
To log all the events that are happening over a longer time period, I would recommend opening a tmux session or something similar.
In the tmux session you could then pipe the MQTT output into a file:
mosquitto_sub -h host -t frigate/events -u user -P password > frigatelogs.txt
After a while you could come back to the file and check if the Frigate events from MQTT correspond to what HA says. If it does, the problem is somewhere in the blueprint automation.
@timm12 Hi sorry, noob here can you explain in easy terms lol, I am using " Mosquito broker" for MQTT, now like I said all my other notification automations do not have this issue, only this one seems to work like maybe half the time now when before it used to actually send a lot so Idk if maybe something changed accidentally.
Hello - I finally have the integration/add-on loaded and working. I am getting this error when the notification fires:
What does this mean?
Sounds like it could be this: Frigate Mobile App Notifications - #377 by timm12
So make sure to enable the “unauthenticated notification event proxy” option in the settings of the Frigate integration.
Since you already have a MQTT broker installed, all you need to do is to figure out the username and password for it.
Then you can connect to it with an MQTT client (that you have to install on your computer).
However I just realized that there is an easier alternative.
Look at the event summary API endpoint of your Frigate instance.
It’s at http://your-frigate-server:5000/api/events/summary
There you can easily see the number of detections made per day which you then can compare to the notifications received.
