Could someone help me with my problem?.
I want to make my ezviz camera a snapshot when de doorbell is pressed and send a picture with pushover.
I cant get it fixed, do you have more specific tips?
Sure, the basic parts will be something like this:
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.your_doorbell_sensor_here
from: 'off'
to: 'on'
action:
- service: camera.snapshot # take a picture and store it
data:
entity_id: camera.your_camera_here
filename: '/config/www/snapshots/doorbell.jpg'
- delay: 3 # may or may not be required depending on how long it takes to make and store your picture
- service: notify.your_pushover_notifier_here # send the picture
data:
title: "Doorbell"
message: "The doorbell has been pressed."
data:
attachment: "config/www/snapshots/doorbell.jpg"
You need to create the config/www folder and config/www/snapshots folders. If you did not already have a www folder in the /config folder you need to restart Home Assistant after creating it.
Hallo,
Do I need to place this in the configuration, Or in the automatisation part
Please read the documents on how to create an automation.
Its nog working…
Hello tom,
thanks for trying to get me in the right direction, i hope you can read my lines better now. This is what i got so far. i’m getting a notification if my doorbell is pressed, but no shapshot.
- alias: Deurbel Voordeur Notificatie
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.doorbell
to: "on"
condition:
- condition: template # only notify once every 10 seconds at most
value_template: "{{ ( as_timestamp(now()) - as_timestamp(state_attr('automation.deurbel_voordeur_notificatie', 'last_triggered')) |int(0) ) > 10 }}"
action:
- service: camera.snapshot # take a picture and store it
data:
entity_id: camera.carport
filename: '/config/www/snapshots/doorbell.jpg'
- delay: 5
- service: notify.Jos_po
data:
title: "Deurbel Voordeur"
message: "Ding dong!"
- service: notify.Mieneke_po
data:
title: "Deurbel Voordeur"
message: "Ding dong!"
somebody any tips?
Does your camera config have a still image URL defined?
you did the snapshot but where you attached it to your notification? The example from @tom_l has it:
- service: notify.your_pushover_notifier_here # send the picture
data:
title: "Doorbell"
message: "The doorbell has been pressed."
data:
attachment: "config/www/snapshots/doorbell.jpg"
(last line).

Its working, thx for the help.
Hello,
I hope someone can help me out because I’m stuck. I have been trying for days now to get this working:
doorbell (with shelly integration) is pressed → snapshot taken → snapshot delivered with notification to my iPhone. I came across this feed here hoping to find a solution but nothing I do makes this work.
The frustrating thing is that I have an automation working which sends me a snapshot of another camera whenever my hue motion sensor picks up motion. I build this with this blueprint: 📸 Send camera snapshot notification on motion. Modifying that automation didn’t get me to get this doorbell automation which I am trien to built going either. So what my code looks like is this:
alias: foto deurbel
description: ''
trigger:
- platform: device
type: changed_states
device_id: 2477bd452f41cb77d93fb00e78422551
entity_id: switch.shelly1_e8db84d46224
domain: switch
condition: []
action:
- service: camera.snapshot
data:
filename: /config/www/snapshots/camera.diskstation_voordeur.jpg
target:
entity_id: camera.diskstation_voordeur
- service: notify.mobile_app_h_rro
data:
message: tring-tring
data:
content-type: jpg
attachment:
url: /config/www/snapshots/camera.diskstation_voordeur.jpg
mode: single
What I get is a notification on my iPhone: tring-tring.
When I long press the notification I get this on my iPhone (13 Pro Max):
I can see that every time the automation runs a new snapshot is being taken and the old one overwritten so that part of it works all right.
I have tried about every setting I could think of, changing “url” to " image" etc. but I am stuck.
I am hoping anyone has a suggestion how to solve this.
