Send MJPEG still to discord notify

1

I am trying to get a still image (snapshot) of my 3D printer camera to upload to Discord along with the status updates.

This printer uses Repetier-Server which does not have a Discord configuration available (this printer fails 50% of the time on Octoprint but runs perfectly on Repetier-Server).

I have the bot configured and seem to be getting status notifications but I would like to add an image as well.

I have the camera’s still image url but cannot seem to get to work by adding it to the automation.
http://192.168.20.35:8888/?action=snapshot
I have looked at the camera integration and a few similar topics.

Current automation is:

Attempts of using url: and file: all generate errors in the automation screen.

Here’s the part of my automation which takes a snapshot from my MPEG camera and notifies on Discord when my garage door is open. The snapshot is stored in the /www/pictures directory.

  - service: camera.snapshot
    data:
      filename: /config/www/pictures/latest_garage.jpg
    target:
      entity_id: camera.garage_camera
  - delay:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 3
      milliseconds: 0
  - service: notify.discord
    data:
      message: The garage door is open. Please close the garage door
      title: Garage Door Open
      target:
        - 'my_discord_target'
      data:
        images:
          - /config/www/pictures/latest_garage.jpg

Awesome - Thank you! That definitely seems to get me on the right track. Now I seems to have a syntax or formatting issue as the image is taken (snapshot) but it is sending the path not the image to discord.

Aha - fixed it! Helped to paste above for me to see the issue (indent).

Thank you!
