Is that any easy nice way in Node-Red to take a snapshot from my ffmpeg camera?
I have add so the camera show in Home Assistant (I can see it from lovelace) but after that I’m not sure.
There is a service called camera.snapshot, have you looked at it?
Thanks for the replay
Yes I have, but have no idea how to connect that to Node-RED.
Change the entity to your camera notify your phone. Also change the camera in the data portion.

I use Pushbullet and when I edit your data code so it fit Pushbullet nothing happend.
{
“title”:“Testing”,
“message”:“Send a Pic”,
“data”:{
“file”: $entities(‘camera.kameraframsidan’).attributes.entity_picture
}
}
I think it have to take a snapshot from ffmpeg stream, save it local on the server and then send that picture with pushbullet.
I have this one:

Is this a cut and paste from the node? The formatting is wrong so it definitely won’t work the way it is. If there is a red line around any box there is an error there.
try
{
"title":"Title",
"message":"message body",
"data":{
"file": $entities('camera.kameraframsidan').attributes.entity_picture
}
}
I do not remember any red line, I have try alot of code over one day that I don’t remember
But now it works and I’m very happy with that.
