Include Camera Snapshot In Pushover Notification

Configuration
1

I’m trying to send over a camera snapshot with my pushover notification for “person detected”.

The snapshot is being successfully stored as /config/www/tmp/snapshot-doorbell.jpg. I’ve downloaded this image from the “file editor” and it’s there and valid. When I try to view this image with the URL of:

http://x.x.x.x:8123/local/tmp/snapshot-doorbell.jpg i get a “404:not found”

I’ve also tried to enter this URL into the “data” of the pushover notification. I get the message title but never a picture.

Any suggestions on viewing this via the web browser? I can then take that URL for my pushover “data” field.

I’m able to view the .jpp in a browser…I had to add:

whitelist_external_dirs:
- /config/www

I’m still unable to receive this via the pushover message. I should be able just to copy the URL and paste it into the “data” part correct?

The URL I’m using to view it is:
http://x.x.x.x:8123/local/tmp/snapshot-doorbell.jpg

did you ever sort this oout, just looking to use pushover myself

Yes I did. Part of the issue is that pushover images must be less than 5 meg. When using the “clear” snapshots off my Reolink cameras, most of the time they exceed 5 meg. You can use the “Fluent” and get a lower quaility image that can be sent to pushover.

My action in HA is…

Perform action of snapshot of the specific camera and save it to
/config/www/tmp/filename.jpg

Then another action to send notification to pushover:
Message:
“Message name”

data:
attachment: /config/www/tmp/filename.jpg
