UniFi Protect Blueprints

The DEV owns the code so no. It’s not because they were suspended, it’s because they opted to either make the GitHub repo private or took it down altogether.

The dev is having a temper tantrum and nuking all their content. If anyone has the blueprint stored locally, please post it here. Otherwise this thread will be deleted.

@petro i do have the blueprints in yaml still. Do I just upload the contents of the yaml files here?

Yep, that will do. If someone wants to maintain it, they can make a new repo for it. I’ll mark your post as the solution so people have a direct link to it.

So here are the blueprints (split into 3 seperate posts due to error with post size)

Ring Event Notification (notification_ring_event.yaml)

blueprint:
  name: UniFi Protect Doorbell Ring Notifications
  domain: automation
  source_url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AngellusMortis/unifiprotect_blueprints/main/blueprints/automation/unifiprotect/notification_ring_event.yaml
  description: "## UniFi Protect Doorbell Ring Notifications\n\nThis blueprint will
    send push notifications to a Home Assistant mobile app when a doorbell ring is
    detected.\n\n### Required Settings\n\n  - UniFi Protect Doorbell Sensor\n\n###
    Optional Settings\n\n  - Notification target for the [mobile app notification
    target][1].\n  - Cutoff time before ring event for video clips.\n  - Time formatting
    strings. Timestamp is injected into the notification in case the notification
    is delay.\n  - Cooldown before sending another notification\n  - Silence timer
    for muting notifications via Actionable Notification (docs: [Mobile][2])\n  -
    Configurable lovelace view from notification\n\n### Requirements\n\nTo take full
    effect of this automation blueprint, your Home Assistant instance needs some setup
    beforehand.\n\n- An UniFi Protect G4 Doorbell or G4 Doorbell Pro.\n- A valid HTTPS
    certificate and [properly configured external URL][3]\n  - If you are using Home
    Assistant Cloud, this is already set up for you.\n  - If this is not setup correctly,
    the actionable notifications and attachments will not appear in the notifications.\n
    \ - You do not need your _whole_ Home Assistant to be publicly accessible. Only
    the paths `/api/unifiprotect/*` and\n    `/api/webhook/*` need to be accessible
    outside of your network.\n\n[1]: https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/notifications/notifications-basic#sending-notifications-to-multiple-devices\n[2]:

Thanks for posting these. So would I just put them as a .ymal file?

Yes, I would suggest putting the individual files into the following location:
/blueprints/automation/AngellusMortis/

I’m not sure the editorialization here is helpful…even with all the public information available on what happened here the high road is always a better choice.

Has anyone been able to get the UniFi Protect Motion / Smart Detection Notifications to send the notification via Telegram? Or have an automation I can re-use?

Hello everyone,

I’ve been getting the following error message for a few days now:

Client error (404): Event thumbnail not found

At first it only happened with the following automation:

  source_url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AngellusMortis/unifiprotect_blueprints/main/blueprints/automation/unifiprotect/notification_ring_event.yaml
  description: "## UniFi Protect Doorbell Ring Notifications\n\nThis blueprint will
    send push notifications to a Home Assistant mobile app when a doorbell ring is
    detected.\n\n### Required Settings\n\n  - UniFi Protect Doorbell Sensor\n\n###
    Optional Settings\n\n  - Notification target for the [mobile app notification
    target][1].\n  - Cutoff time before ring event for video clips.\n  - Time formatting
    strings. Timestamp is injected into the notification in case the notification
    is delay.\n  - Cooldown before sending another notification\n  - Silence timer
    for muting notifications via Actionable Notification (docs: [Mobile][2])\n  -
    Configurable lovelace view from notification\n\n### Requirements\n\nTo take full
    effect of this automation blueprint, your Home Assistant instance needs some setup
    beforehand.\n\n- An UniFi Protect G4 Doorbell or G4 Doorbell Pro.\n- A valid HTTPS
    certificate and [properly configured external URL][3]\n  - If you are using Home
    Assistant Cloud, this is already set up for you.\n  - If this is not setup correctly,
    the actionable notifications and attachments will not appear in the notifications.\n
    \ - You do not need your _whole_ Home Assistant to be publicly accessible. Only
    the paths `/api/unifiprotect/*` and\n    `/api/webhook/*` need to be accessible
    outside of your network.\n\n[1]: https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/notifications/notifications-basic#sending-notifications-to-multiple-devices\n[2]:

Does anyone else have this problem?

can anyone help?

Many thanks and greetings

@Rockhound53 I have had similar. The only thing that worked for me was downgrading Unif Protect back to 4.0.33 by SSHing into Unifi, apt-get update and then apt-get install --reinstall --allow-downgrades unifi-protect=4.0.33 -y

@Rockhound53 @Townsmcp I haven’t had much time to dig into this myself but I’m also experiencing this issue. The main source of the issue seems to be changes in how the Person detection is working.
The object detection sensor is working like the how the person detection worked before the upgrade i.e. it turns on as soon as an object is detected and turns off shortly after the object is no longer detected.
The person detect sensor no longer turns on when a person is decked…instead…it quickly toggles on and off once the detection STOPS. This might explain why the video notification never works…it’s trying to send a video of 0 length.
I’ll play around once I have more time but hopefully this is enough for @bdraco to start preliminary investigations into why the changes are occurring with the latest Protect update.

There are at least 2 open issues related to this in GitHub.

Edit: I see what I mentioned above was already being discussed in one of the threads. Should have read them both before testing/posting…lol.

This is all working again with Version 5 of Protect.

This blueprint has the people home filter, but what would be great is if there was an alarm filter as an alternative. That would mean you could only get notified if the alarm was “armed away” or something like that. Maybe i should have a go at editing the yaml… its been a while.

There’s already an option for that in the blueprint.

Apologies, I must have an older version. I’ll update with the yaml above

Edit: yep, the versions above were newer than what i already had, updated to those versions

Are the snapshot notifications on iOS working for others still using these Blueprints?

I had this “Failed to load attachment” issue last year with one of my cameras as reported above in this thread, but I have yet to find a fix. It seems to have spread to others, making the push notifications from these Blueprints not nearly as useful. I’m wondering if one of the recent UniFi Protect updates changed something (currently on Protect 5.0.51).

I’ve started this new thread on the topic to see if I can find a fix before reverting to dumb-down automations for push alerts from UniFi cameras.

@ziptbm I do get this a few times a day but sometimes the image does come through. I put it down to using Frigate/Double Take and sharing the stream from Scrypted - the blueprint grabs the image direct from the camera and my thinking is concurrent requests for snapshot is why I get the error

I am having the same issue, and I can’t understand why sometimes the image (and the video of the detection) shows up and other times it doesn’t.

I also have another automation that doesn’t use the blueprint, and recently stop showing the picture.
