That’s something you need to clarify more.
Disabling the automation isn’t good enough?

46

I wonder if we shouldn’t make these alerts sticky, just to avoid losing the notification.

Hi,
I need some help. The snap shot has been done and stored in proper folder but I recesive only message notification - android device. Where is problem?

48

It is important to note that the attachments are required to be accessible from the internet.

Is this the case?

49

No realy. I need to edit blueprint, replace data section. How to do it?

50

I found it in the docs. Thx anyway

Looking for some help.
Everything with this Blueprint works fine, except that my motion sensor sends a notification every time something moves (i.e. Motion detected, person moves, motion detected…so I end up with 3 or more notification within a second lol.).
Usually, there is a delay after the initial detection and the next detection.
How can I add delay in motion detection?

Since that automation has not specified a run mode it’s going to run in single mode. That means if a new run tries to start while one is going it will block it. So if you provide a value for that delay input that will effectively act as a cool down, only allowing the automation to run once every x seconds.

Although you may get a lot of warnings in your log. Each time a new run starts and is blocked it logs a warning by default and sounds like that might happen to you a lot. @vorion you might want to set max_exceeded to silent to prevent that, or provide an input for that value.

Wait I’m sorry that delay is before the snapshot so don’t use that as a cool down, you’ll miss the picture. The automation would need a second cooldown delay at the end and it doesn’t have one at the moment

I searched for a blueprint and also tried to do an automation to send a picture and notification to my android phone when my doorbell (a cheap Samsung Button) was pushed, much like the Arlo and Ring doorbells do. Its a little complicated for my skill level so I used this blueprint for motion and set a picture delay of 1 second. I then created an automation with the trigger being the doorbell being pressed (short, long and double) which then triggers this blueprint. It works!! I appreciate your contribution.

Just wanted to say thanks for a great blueprint! Was up an running in about 30 seconds with my Unifi cameras integrated with the Protect integration. Now I can get rid of my Unifi motion notifications which provide no snapshot!

How is that would? Can you share how the code should be for date and time in the file name?

59

That’s how notifications work in HA. If you want them to be in ha as well as a push notification to iOS, then you need to also create a persistent_notification. Otherwise tap and hold the notification to see the image.

Can you please add a condition with a zone? If I’m home I don’t want to receive these messages.

Thank you.

Great blueprint, thanks. Could you please integrate section where it is possible to choose if you (your device) is at home or not => then it would be possible to have the messages only when away … Thanks very much

@vorion this is very useful - well done! Have you considered adding support for other notifications, e.g. Telegram or Notify.Events?
