Send picture with notification on motion detection

Mobile Apps
1

Folks,

I followed a this guid Attach photo to notification - #3 by aceindy

but what ever i try, it does not even create a logbook entry.

well, i did just run the motion trigger, worked after i created it thought the ui.

then i tried to hard code the picture path, well the jpg showes up after I created the www/tmp folder… so i thought im fine. well im not.

what ever I try I cant make it show up on my cellphone notification…

This is my current affair:

alias: Cam Send a snapshot on movement
description: ""
trigger:
  - type: motion
    platform: device
    device_id: ec24d0ea5093e97a74abc7169421e320

    domain: binary_sensor

    data:
      filename: "{{ snapshot_create_file_path }}"
    target:
      device_id: ec24d0ea5093e97a74abc7169421e320
  - service: notify.mobile_app_motorola_pro
    data:
      title: "{{ notification_title }}"
      message: "{{ notification_message }}"
      data:
        attachment:
          content-type: jpeg
          url: "{{ snapshot_access_file_path }}"
        push:
          sound:
            name: default
            critical: 1
            volume: 1
mode: single
variables:
  binary_sensor: binary_sensor.garden_motion
  binary_sensor_name: "{{ states[binary_sensor].name }}"
  notification_title: Movement detected
  notification_message: "{{ binary_sensor_name }} was activated!"
  snapshot_create_file_path: /config/www/tmp/snapshot_{{ states[camera].object_id }}.jpg
  snapshot_access_file_path: "{{ snapshot_create_file_path | replace('/config/www','/local') }}"

what am i missing?

after some more finageling, it kind of works.

first of all, i would like to not make my server open to the public, i am running an nginx inside the HA.

And I dont see how i get a motion trail, and on the same time prevent the disc from being filled up.

So I now need a way to store it on the host of my container, I do have the smb integration running, but how do I send it there?

Then, how do I make the file name camera spzific and add a time stamp?

And then, how do I make it being vailable from outside for my phone only without starting a VPN session every time?

Should i just send it via the signal bot?

Has this been solved yet?
I also want to get a message using Signal, when I am not home, to know who is at my door.
I picture of the situation would be nice, a video would be perfect.
I use Unifi Protect with Dream Machine.
Is there any solutions for this?
