I have a nest battery doorbell and I installed the intergration and it’s working great. However I would like to display the doorbell events in a log book with a thumbnail. The integration provides thumbnail through a trigger so I created a trigger template to track them.
template:
- trigger:
device_id: a5c78e051a6db65989c4ad3da041bd8f
domain: nest
type: doorbell_chime
trigger: device
sensor:
- name: "Doorbell"
state: '{{ as_timestamp(now()) }}'
picture: '{{ trigger.event.data.attachment.image }}'
This almost works, it does display the events with the thumbnail in the logbook however when fetching the thumbnail it gets a 401. In this screenshot you can see a blank space where the image would go.
The DOM for this shows that it does display the right url but it gets a 401.
<state-badge style="background-image: url('https://XXX.ui.nabu.casa/api/nest/event_media/a5c78e051a6db65989c4ad3da041bd8f/WyIxNzEzMzg5MzI1IiwgIm46MSJd/thumbnail');"></state-badge>
In my research I found this section on signed paths and that seems like the right solution but I don’t know how to get HA to sign this one.
I’m aware that files put in config/www will be served without authentication and I could probably setup a trigger to copy the files there but I don’t want these images to be publicly accessible.
