Open your Home Assistant instance and show the blueprint import dialog with a specific blueprint pre-filled.

Posted… Version 2026.02.26.22c is a massive update with a ton more documentation of the template options and a nice default for opening the Live View of the camera just by tapping the notification image.

Do you have an actual link to e.g. the Github documentation?
I’m not going to import a blueprint just to try it out and the post above is just not that informative :hushed:

It would be great if the Blueprint allowed for multiple camera selection. My use case is when a specific door is opened, I have one camera send a notification with a snapshot and then 3 seconds later, I have another notification with a snapshot from a different camera.

The automation is designed to provide you what you want, using two separate automations - one per camera. Use the existing delay_send field for the timing offset for the second camera automation. This also gives you full independent configurability for each camera.
