not really, can you see the timestamp on the file name also being the previous one? Seems a bit off if the timestamp is not updated in the notification. (behavior without timestamp could be explained: caching of the image, so itās just displaying old non expired cached one)
Hi, I used your code and adjusted it (badly) to support unifi protect doorbells.
Be cool if you could update the template so it support doorbell press as well as motion,
But im not expert of HASā¦ but this works for meā¦ but im sure blueprint could be improved.
GitHub Link
you can paste this into your import blueprint thing and it will create the blueprint in HAS

p.s I did the bare min to get this to work for doorbell and works mint! When you select the doorbell binary_sensor.doorbell_doorbell object. ( I suspect mines called that because I called my doorbell > doorbell)
I did a crap job of making it work. And it works mint.
Just used that blueprint and made some changes so it would work for doorbell.
Works mint.

i manualy changed it already, to a state change, as my doorbell does a state change
I tried to google this but canāt seem to find anything specific, but could someone explain what the %s is doing in the last few lines of the code?
Looks like it is setting up the snapshot location for iOS or Android device, depending on the is_ios variable, but not understanding what the %s does/adds.

Hi
Based on Frenckās doorbell and Vorionās motion detection blueprint, i combined both and created this blueprint:
Slightly odd one from meā¦ For the last few weeks the automation has kept sending an old image through in the notificationā¦ I have checked /config/www/tmp/ and a new image is generated correctly every time it runs, however the image sent through in the notification is a different imageā¦?
Where does it pick this image up from?
The same happens on my system.
The blueprint looks great. I am having some issues. I get the following error āUnable to find notify service for webhook IDā any idea on how to fix it?
Seems it uses /config/www/tmp as folder
But uses ālocal/tmpā internally to access it
Hello.

Iām new to using blueprints, so Iām not exactly sure where to start troubleshooting. Iām getting this error message in the HA logs.
homeassistant | 2021-08-04 15:14:25 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.automation.send_a_camera_snapshot_when_motion_is_detected] Send a camera snapshot when motion is detected: Error rendering Send a camera snapshot when motion is detected delay template: offset should be format 'HH:MM', 'HH:MM:SS' or 'HH:MM:SS.F'
I did a little digging and it seems like there is a workaround by changing the āoptionalā delay in the automation to something other than the default. I just bumped it up to 1s and it works fine now. Since the delay is labeled as optional in the automation I wouldnāt have expected to need to change it to make it work.
At any rate, a 0s or 1s delay makes no difference to me. Thanks for putting the blueprint together!

Hello and sorry if i'm off topic. I searched a lot before writting this message and i need halp with a blueprint. I tried myself to modify an existing blueprint like yours but it didn't work. What i need, is a blueprint to send camera snapshot based on door window sensor (binary). I think thtat your blueprint will do it if you just leave the choise to trigger on any binary sensor. Thank you so much for your work with this blueprint, is very usefull.Did you manage to get around with this?
Yes, but in other way. I made my own automation:
alias: Intrusion Alert Send Inside Snapshot to Telegram
description: ''
trigger: []
condition: []
action:
- repeat:
until:
- type: is_no_motion
condition: device
device_id: a2321254d4ce4c258fb56559f988deac
entity_id: binary_sensor.motion_occupancy
domain: binary_sensor
sequence:
- service: telegram_bot.send_photo
data:
disable_notification: true
caption: Intrusion Alert!
url: >-
https://your.ha.com{{ states.camera.inside.attributes.entity_picture }}
- delay:
hours: 0
minutes: 0
seconds: 3
milliseconds: 0
mode: single
variables:
camera: camera.inside
snapshot_url: '{{ states.camera.inside.attributes.entity_picture }}'
When creating it in editor put the url in last as it breaks the visual editor and afterwards you gotta edit in yaml. Your entity names/ids will be different but should give you the idea.
I got another automation that triggers on door opening, light switch pressing and motion sensors if I am away and that in turn triggers this one to send a photo to telegram every 3 seconds until motion is stopped.
Hi
Iām trying to replicate your telegram bot automation but Iām new to home assistant and Iām not able to find what to replace on this
states.camera.inside.attributes.entity_picture
This is my automation code
- alias: Intrusion Alert to Telegram Cam Ingresso
