I’ve used this camera:
€ 25,48 35％ Off | ANRAN Wireless Video IP Camera 1080P HD Outdoor Surveillance Security Camera Two Way Audio IR Bullet Wifi Camera Support Onvif
is it possible to make it work with other notification service?
I have 2 HA (home and office) and on Android i can have only one application (i have the option to run the same app 2 times, but android Auto stops to work).
Ok so I have come up with the following @aceindy thank you for the idea of reading the blueprint code and combining multiple. (as I said still new to this are finding my feet with some of the features).
I could not spot the difference between your code and the template one, but completing the same steps I’m guessing you did and combining elements of different blueprints this seems to work perfectly

Hey guys!
Can someone help me adjusting this blueprint to get a template sensor as trigger?
The blueprint should be triggered once the sensors changes to “ready”.
I want to receive a picture of my 3d printer
Thank you!
@sorted file-editor: blueprints/aceindy/.yml , remove “esphome” and on/off to ready/not-ready.
now my question is, if anybody could enhance this script with an “away_mode” trigger to be turned on. because getting a snapshot if already home and hearing the chime seems pointless.
i could, but wouldn’t it be just as easy to create a trigger that turns off the automation (along with other automation(s) you’d like to switch off)?
Btw, that option wouldn’t work for me, after 19:00 my chime turns silent (as it might wake up my kids), so i need the notification even when home…
(and if the tv is on, it will also notify me )
I am trying to use this with an Amcrest doorbell and cannot seem to get it to work as it doesn’t trigger a sensor but an event. Can anyone assist with the code from Amcrest but the action I want is to send the camera snapshot. Thank you in advance for the help!!
oh snap, reviving an old thread. maybe there’s still someone here?
I tried to build all of it this week. So far, it is working but i get ghost activations of the chime.
For now I increased both filter delay times from 25ms to 100ms. This seems to work for now.
I am also a bit concerned because of the relay keeps being activated after a power toggle…
Another “problem” is the notification. I see it on iOS but when I click it, I don’t get a big picture. Any chance to change this?
Also when I click it once - it disappears.
