Receiving camera snapshots as a notification in the IOS app

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Apple
63

Hi all,
this is my “action”

action:
  - service: camera.snapshot
    data:
      filename: /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/www/doorbell.png
    entity_id: camera.camera_ext
  - service: notify.mobile_app_mi_9
    data:
      message: Someone has pressed the doorbell.
      data:
        attachment:
          content-type: png
          hide-thumbnail: false
          url: https://mydomain:8123/local/doorbell.png

I receive the text but not the image, what is wrong? In my folder the image .png is present, so the camera takes the picture…

Do you get to see the image when you long-press on the notification?

I solved at this way:

service: notify.mobile_app_mi_9
data:
  message: Hanno suonato il campanello!
  data:
    image: >-
      https://mydom:8123/local/campanello/doorbell_{{
      now().strftime("%Y%m%d-%H%M") }}.png
    clickAction: >-
      https://mydom:8123/local/campanello/doorbell_{{
      now().strftime("%Y%m%d-%H%M") }}.png

Ah, I missed that you were using iOS syntax on an Android phone :woozy_face:

Hi there,

I just have a question about the initial part where you add a whitelist_dirs to configuration.yaml. I’ve tried doing that but I keep getting an error no matter what I try.

Could you perhaps show your configuration.yaml, particularly the part of the file showing the whitelist_dirs biy? It might well be my formatting or whatnot so I want to verify.

Cheers,
Bel*.
