Image not visible in notification when not connected to wifi

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android
1

Hi all,

I currently have an automation that takes a picture with my security camera as soon as someone rings the doorbell. That picture is sent to my phone as a notification.

The problem is that this only works when I am inside my own network (connected to wifi). As soon as I leave the network and connect to 5G I am able to receive the notification but the picture is not attached.

I am using the “www” folder as described here: Standard Attachments | Home Assistant Companion Docs

Am I using the “www” correct or am I making a rookie mistake?

Below you can see the script I currently use:

alias: Deurbel met camera
description: ""
trigger:
  - type: turned_on
    platform: device
    device_id: 7d90672c883785a22e323164d4e68a2e

    domain: binary_sensor
condition: []
action:
  - service: camera.snapshot
    data:
      filename: /config/www/snapshots/snapshot.jpg
    target:
      entity_id: camera.c3x_e75103453
  - delay:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 3
      milliseconds: 0
  - service: notify.mobile_app_galaxy_s24_ultra
    data:
      message: Er staat iemand voor de deur
      data:
        image: /local/snapshots/snapshot.jpg
mode: single

Thanks in advance!

the phone downloads the image when the notification is received so if your server is inaccessible the image will not load.

also your server needs to be remotely accessible to load images from the server.
