Send photo from Media folder to mobile using Node Red

Third party integrations Node-RED

Hello all,

I’m currently using Node Red to save an image to {"filename":"/media/media/garage_pic.jpg"} using the snapshot service. I’m trying to then send the photo so my Android phone (companion app) using Node Red.

I’m having trouble finding the correct image link.

When I use:

{
    "title": "Garage Door Closed",
    "message": "The garage door is open.",
    "data": {
        "sticky": "true",
        "tag": "garage",
        "image": "https://mynabucasa.ui.nabu.casa/media/local/garage_pic.jpg",
        "notification_icon": "mdi:garage"
    }
}

I get the notification but no picture. A message pops up on my HA dashboard about a failed login attempt.
I’ve tried several other combinations like "image":"/media/local/garage_pic.jpg" but nothing seems to be working. Any ideas how I can pull the image from my media folder using Node Red?

Side note, I had been doing this successfully when saving and pulling the image from my www folder. I’m trying to convert to the safer authentication method and stop saving pics/videos to the www folder.

No doubt minutes after posting I figured it out.

Node Red

{
    "title": "Garage Door",
    "message": "The garage door is {{ states.cover.garage_door.state }}.",
    "data": {
        "sticky": "true",
        "tag": "garage",
        "image": "/media/local/media/garage_pic.jpg",
        "notification_icon": "mdi:garage"
    }
}
