Configuration

I need to run a webhook sending the image to it. However I cant seem to receive any picture. I believe the error was on the image location. Anyone will to assist?

shell_command:
  encode_snapshot: "base64 /media/tmp/snapshot_garage.jpg > /config/encoded_image.txt"

rest_command:
  send_base64_to_n8n:
    url: "http://192.168.x.x:xxxx/webhook-test/hass"
    method: POST
    headers:
      Content-Type: application/json
    payload: >
      {
        "image_base64": "{{ states('sensor.encoded_image') }}"
      }  

shell_command:
  send_base64_snapshot: >
    curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json"
    -d '{"image_base64":"'"$(base64 /media/tmp/snapshot_garage.jpg)"'"}'
    http://192.168.x.x:xxxx/webhook-test/hass

Listing the error would help a lot. If services cannot access files, try adding this to your configuration.yaml:

homeassistant:
  allowlist_external_dirs:
    - "/media/tmp/"

But before that, my first question would be: what does this show in the developer tools template tester?

 {{ states('sensor.encoded_image') }}

hi edwin, basically my image store on /www/tmp/ directory and I can sent the right image? so I was wondering where what should be the right image folder directory. Since I keep on getting a blank image

BTW I believe that states shown an error.

Would be wondering if someone able to help me sending an image using webhook from HA? Is this posible? That will be the goal and at the time being using openAI to assist, but doesnt seems to work

I see three different folders mentioned: /www/tmp, /media/tmp or /config.
I see a rest command and a curl command. I cant make sense of what command you actually use and which folder you use. I also have no clue how you tied this all together. That’s why I asked to show what is in the entity the rest command is using.

Hello Richard T,

For me in configuration.yaml

homeassistant:
  media_dirs:
    local: /media

Then the /media path becomes part of /local .
And put the mp3 (or whatever) in a folder in HA under

/media/mp3

(The media folder already exists, you would want to add a sub folder to that, or at least I did, to keep your OCD happy.)
When I want to use an MP3, the path is

media-source://media_source/local/mp3/Ships_Bell_4.mp3

Adjust as you desire, but that is a basic version of mine.
