First you must select a Component to use for sending notification.

I like HTML5 component because it works with all devices and does NOT require install another app.
It also send image with notification.
It can be a little difficult to setup but may be worth your time

You only need put link

If you are asking what I think you may be asking… you can “email” (the same way you already have (I’m assuming) set up) your cell phone number. google the requirements for that, it will look like [email protected] (for Google Fi) or [email protected] for AT&T

using api you can output image from HA camera

below is working for me for html5. I believe you can use link as shown below for image. just change for your server and your camera

When Gate open I receive notification with image from my camera

- alias: 'Notify Gate Closed'
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.entry_gate
      from: 'on'
      to: 'off'
  action:
    - service: notify.notify
      data:
        title: 'GATE'
        message: 'Closed'
        data:
          tag: alert
          url: 'https://my_HAserver.com'
          image: "https://my_HAserver.com/api/camera_proxy/camera.mycamera?api_password=MyHAPassword"
          vibrate:
            - 300
            - 100
            - 400
          renotify: 0

nice! so this cannot take an image from camera wen there is motion detection?

Yes, it is possible

You must setup another sensor to detect motion and use that to trigger automation.

Something like ffmpeg binary sensor component can be used for this

Do you know where i can find an example code how do i config it?
