I hope, you don’t mind, if I pick this
Allow Image Attachments in Hangouts Notification:
up here again, but according to github (here and here) this is supposed to be fixed, so it is not a “Feature-Request” anymore
Unfortunately I still can not attach an image to a hangouts-message through notify-Service, while calling the hangouts.send_message service in the dev-tools works perfectly.
Here is my JSON for the dev-Tools:
{
"message": [
{"text": "message"}
],
"target": [
{"id": "<conversationid>"}
],
"data":
{"image_file": "/config/www/cam_captures/snapshot1.jpg"}
}
And here is an automation that tries to send an image attachment:
- alias: test
trigger:
platform: template
value_template: "{{false}}"
action:
- service: camera.snapshot
data:
entity_id: camera.ip_webcam
filename: "/config/www/cam_captures/foto.jpg"
- service: notify.hangouts_seanomat
data:
message: "Text 01"
image_file: '/config/www/cam_captures/foto.jpg'
- service: notify.hangouts_seanomat
data_template:
message: "Text 02"
image_file: '/config/www/cam_captures/foto.jpg'
- service: notify.hangouts_seanomat
data_template:
message: "Text 03"
data:
image_file: '/config/www/cam_captures/foto.jpg'
I am not quite sure, how to attach the image, so I tried different methods. The first two calls to notify are ignored, if images are attached (they work if you comment out the images).
This error is generated in the log
Invalid service data for notify.hangouts_seanomat: extra keys not allowed @ data[‘image_file’]. Got ‘/config/www/cam_captures/foto.jpg’
So, am I doing something wrong? Is this actually fixed as the github-issue suggests? Might the fix not be in the current version of home-Assistant jet (im using 0.81.2 right now)?
What to do?
