Hi, @brkr19 It seems that your pull request is now Live. could you update the documentation how we should use it?
i have tried a few things but i didn’t manage to get it working.
{ “message”: “Test plugin”,
“filename”: { “url”:“5 Vorteile der Mediation für Fahrradfahrer – GBSun – Sommer, Sonne, Fahrrad”
} }
{ “message”: “Test plugin”,
“attachment”: { “url”:“5 Vorteile der Mediation für Fahrradfahrer – GBSun – Sommer, Sonne, Fahrrad”
} }
Hmm, that’s strange - last I saw, it was rejected due to the desire to continue using the third-party library instead of the APIs directly. I actually had a PR for the documentation too, but then had to roll that back.
Here’s an example in case it is actually live though:
- alias: Garage motion detected
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: sensor.garage_motion
from: '0'
to: '1'
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: input_boolean.security_armed
state: 'on'
action:
- service: notify.pushover
data_template:
message: "Security system: Motion in Garage!"
data:
title: "Home Assistant"
data:
priority: 1
sound: siren
file:
url: !secret cam_garage_latest_url
auth: basic
username: !secret cam_garage_username
password: !secret cam_garage_passworddid your code every get rolled in home assistant to support images?
looks like the 3rd party library supports it, I’m no developer though
https://pushover.net/faq#library-python
Alternatively, the 3rd party pushnotify Python package written by Jeffrey Goettsch, the pushover Python 3 package written by Wyatt Johnson, and the Chump Python package written by Karan Lyons are available.
To send an image attachment, the 3rd party Requests library can be used. For example, to send the file “your_image.jpg”:
import requests
r = requests.post(“https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json”, data = {
“token”: “APP_TOKEN”,
“user”: “USER_KEY”,
“message”: “hello world”
},
files = {
“attachment”: (“image.jpg”, open(“your_image.jpg”, “rb”), “image/jpeg”)
})
print(r.text)
I just updated my code here: 6f354e6. I’ll be testing it and creating a new PR soon, but in the meantime, feel free to grab this code for now.
How can I modify original pushover.py?
It’s best not to edit the original files. I used the custom_components method described here; https://community.home-assistant.io/t/editing-component-files-in-hassio/24273
So I took the new pushover.py from @brkr19 and placed it in config/custom_components/notify
Works like a charm (reboot ofcourse) really happy, thanks a lot @brkr19
I’m trying to have my camera image sent to Pushover but still, with the custom component, have issues.
Could you share you automation lines so I can compare?
thanks
nobody can help?
mine looks like this:
- id: Bezoeker
alias: Bezoeker
initial_state: True
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.voordeur_line_crossing_2
to: ‘on’
action:
- service: notify.pushover_ha
data_template:
message: ‘(voordeur) Bezoeker om {{now().strftime("%H:%M %d-%m-%Y")}}’
data:
title: “Home Assistant”
data:
priority: 0
sound: intermission
file:
url: http://ipaddress:port/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/1/picture?
authentication: digest
username: !secret hikvision_user
password: !secret hikvision_password
Thank you so much, it works now.
Although, it shows the live feed which, in my opinion, isn’t really what I need since ideally, I would need to image from when the even occurred…
Any way to push only the image of the event from when it occurred?
Actually, it worked the first time then without changing anything, got this error for the URL image:
Received status=401 while trying to download http://192.168.1.149:65006/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/1/picture?
That’s a issue I am running into also (since 5 days or so). I found that when I use basic authentication on my camera it works again (Hikvision).
I am also building a setup at the office and we use Axis camera’s there. The problem is accessing the URL works when using basic authentication (set via the axis manager) but then HA can’t find the camera’s. I still did not solve that (spent almost the whole day yesterday on his)
I tried using basic (changed ion NVR and in automation); same issue…
I worked around it, this code works for me (just the action piece)
action:
- service: camera.snapshot
data:
entity_id: camera.voordeur
filename: 'tmp/voordeur.jpg'
- service: notify.pushover_ha
data_template:
message: 'Bezoeker om {{now().strftime("%H:%M %d-%m-%Y")}}'
data:
title: "Whatever"
data:
priority: 0
sound: intermission
file:
path: 'tmp/voordeur.jpg'this seems perfect, although, I’m getting
Can't write tmp/ext_cote_maison.jpg, no access to path!
after some reading, I finally got it to work 
I had to whitelist tmp:
whitelist_external_dirs: - /tmp
and reboot the NUC completely
my automation:
- id: '1522174458955' alias: Notification "line crossing" entrée trigger: - entity_id: binary_sensor.sfnetwork_nvr_line_crossing_4 from: 'off' platform: state to: 'on' condition: [] action: - data: entity_id: camera.ext_entree_maison filename: /tmp/snapshot_ext_entree_maison.jpg service: camera.snapshot - data: data: file: path: /tmp/snapshot_ext_entree_maison.jpg priority: 0 sound: incoming message: Intrusion à l'entrée de la maison!!! title: Home Assistant - Cam entrée maison service: notify.pushover
FINALLY!!!
thanks so much for your help!!! hope it help other users.
I wonder if you guys could help, I can’t get past the folder whitelist issue. I’m using Homeassitant on Windows and it downloads a JPG image from my netatmo camera to c:\homeassistant\downloads\last.jpg this works fine but when it comes to sending the JPG via Pushover I get the error ‘downloads\last.jpg is not secure to load data from!’ even though the folder is whitelisted. I’m sure it’s probably related to the path syntax but I’ve tried forward and backward slashes and even tried with the JPG being located in the config folder but still no luck
Automations.yaml:
- id: ‘1535480687632’
alias: Monitor for animals in back garden
trigger:
- entity_id: binary_sensor.back_outdoor_animal
from: ‘off’
platform: state
to: ‘on’
action:- data:
filename: last.jpg
overwrite: true
url: http://XXXX/live/snapshot_720.jpg
service: downloader.download_file- data:
data:

priority: -1
sound: alien
message: Animals in back garden
title: Back garden monitoring
service: notify.notify
hide_entity: false
initial_state: ‘off’
Configuration.yaml:

Eventually managed to fix myself by using the full path rather than a relative one:

Hi folks,
still doesn’t work for me. Beginner here, so there might something basic be missing. What I have done:
You are using a custom component for notify.pushover which has not been tested by Home Assistant. This component might cause stability problems, be sure to disable it if you do experience issues with Home Assistant. )I just can’t get the code to run. Here it is:
- alias: alarm_trigger
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: 'binary_sensor.fibaro_system_fgms001zw5_motion_sensor_sensor'
to: 'on'
action:
- service: notify.pushover_notifier
data:
message: "motion detected"
title: "Alarm!"
data:
file:
url: http://USER:PASSWORD@IP:80/image/jpeg.cgi
Leaving out the last three lines works like charm. Adding these lines however gives me the following error message:
attachment: invalid message parameter
using attachment instead of file brings:
Could not send notification: send_message() got multiple values for keyword argument 'attachment'
Since working with the url directly, I am not facing this “whitelist issue”, right? If the jpg is downloaded in the python script, I can’t see where and therefore can’t add anything to the whitelist.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Thanks!
EDIT: I just found out that deleting the last three lines doesn’t work with @brkr19 's script, getting the same attachment: invalid message parameter error as before …
It looks like your spacing is off try
- alias: alarm_trigger
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: 'binary_sensor.fibaro_system_fgms001zw5_motion_sensor_sensor'
to: 'on'
action:
- service: notify.pushover_notifier
data:
message: "motion detected"
title: "Alarm!"
