Please forgive me, I’m new to HA…
I’d like to run an automation at 11:59PM each day. This automation should have a path provided to a collection of images for that particular day. The automation should compile every file (.jpeg) into an .mp4 or .avi file.
The generation of images is going well. I use motionEye and the ESP32_Cam is feeding the selected folder images as expected. I feel like I am close. Here is what I have now:
[In my configuration.yaml file]
shell_command:
create_timelapse: ffmpeg -pattern_type glob -i "/media/esp32cam/{{ now().strftime("%Y%m%d") }}/*.jpg" \ -c:v libx264 -vf fps=25,format=yuv420p \ "/media/esp32cam/{{ now().strftime("%Y%m%d") }}_timelapse.mp4"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[In my automation.yaml file]
alias: 'Snap a Pic Every 1 min'
description: 'Every minute, snap a pic. This shall run from sunrise to sunset. Save pics to a folder with todays date. Label files in dates folder with Year/Month/Day-Hours/Min/Sec.'
trigger:
- platform: time_pattern
minutes: /1
condition:
- condition: sun
after: sunrise
before: sunset
action:
- service: camera.snapshot
target:
entity_id: camera.esp_cam3
data:
filename: >-
/media/esp32cam/{{ now().strftime("%Y%m%d") }}/esp32cam_{{
now().strftime("%Y%m%d-%H%M%S") }}.jpg
mode: single
- id: '[a_random_id]'
alias: Create Timelapse Automation
description: ''
trigger:
- platform: time_pattern
hours: '23'
minutes: '59'
condition: []
action:
- service: shell_command.create_timelapse
mode: single
It seems my first issue is here (running it via console from root dir):
➜ / ffmpeg -pattern_type glob -i "/media/esp32cam/{{ now().strftime("%Y%m%d") }}/*.jpg" \ -c:v libx264 -vf fps=25,format=yuv420p \ "/media/esp32cam/{{ now().strftime("%Y%m%d") }}_timelapse.mp4"
zsh: command not found: ffmpeg
➜ /
I also have this configured in configuration.yaml… not sure if it is doing much:
ffmpeg:
ffmpeg_bin: /usr/bin/ffmpeg
