Ios Push jpegs

Configuration

Hi all I’m using the following in a script to push a notification to my iphone this works( see below)
I tried to put the Yaml in the automation rather than call a script . If I put the Yaml into the automation the Push message works but there is no jpg attached, Should it work or do I need to do it via the script?

alias: MdF apple push jpg front door
sequence:
  - service: notify.mobile_app_garryiphone
    data:
      message: Someone is on the Drive!
      data:
        image: /media/local/front/photo/front_latest.jpg
mode: single

Regards
Garry

I think it would be:

/config/www/front/photo/front_latest.jpg

I could be wrong.
It changes to that www folder when trying to access it other than in the file system on the local machine.

Oh my bad, externally you need the full URL.
Here’s my automation:

- id: '1608125892221'
  alias: Front Yard | Camera Snapshot
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.front_door_person
    to: 'on'
  - platform: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.front_door_doorbell
    to: 'on'
  condition: []
  action:
  - service: camera.snapshot
    data:
      filename: /config/www/nestperson.jpg
    target:
      entity_id: camera.front_door
  - service: notify.mobile_app_iphone
    data:
      message: Person Detected Front Yard
      data:
        attachment:
          url: https://<insert your external URL here>/local/nestperson.jpg
          content-type: png
          hide-thumbnail: false

lol the type is set to png. It works though…

Thanks I will give it a go any idea why it need to be a different command in an Automation that a Script?

I didn’t say that. Or didn’t mean to at least.
Should be the same for both.
You need the full URL when doing something over the internet, which a push notification is.

Thanks I will give it a go, Sorry I didn’t mean to imply you said anything, I was asking if you had any idea why my example works in a script but not in an automation

Oh I didn’t read that properly from your OP.
That is very strange.
That is very bizarre.
Your phone is almost always going to try to get things over the internet, so I can’t imagine why an internal HA reference would work, unless that’s built into the function.

There’s so many skeletons in this software’s closet begging to be reported, I just don’t have the time nor am I confident enough to say that it’s a true bug.

In the end I did this
