So, to make sure I’m not missing something, expected behavior with having multiple cameras setup like this would mean that any one triggering will prevent notifications from the others during the cooldown, yeah?

Also, for anyone else looking, you can having the “open camera” action take you directly to the stream. After struggling a bit with figuring this out, I decided to RTFM and found you can just set the URL to the entity ID.

The More Info panel of an entity using entityId:<entity_ID> where <entity_id> is replaced with the entity ID you wish to view. Ex: entityId:sun.sun.

For example, if you set it to

camera.doorbell_high_resolution_channel

It’ll open the app and redirect you to the stream.

I’m now seeing this “failed to load attachment Response could not be serialized, input data was nil or zero length” error in the image/video in the push notifications from my G5 Pro fairly consistently.

Has anyone figured out what this is and how to resolve it?

111

Thanks for creating this and I’m brand new to home assistant.

I got the blueprint working to send me a push notification of the license plate data and timestamp to my phone.

Now, I’d like to send that data to a zapier webhook

I found instructions on using the restful integration. If I manually test the restful service, the webhook is triggered. But how do I get HA to pass the message from the blue print to restful everytime the blueprint runs?

Sorry for missing something obvious

Thanks.

Hey,

Links are down, can you reupload the Blueprint for License Plate detection.

113

I believe the dev is taking a hiatus and likely switched the repo to private or took it down.

114

so because the devs account is suspended until later this year the blueprint cant be installed? is there no work around for this?

115

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.

116

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?

118

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)

    "## UniFi Protect License Plate Notifications\n\nThis blueprint will
    send push notifications to a Home Assistant mobile app when an AI series series

    License Plate Sensor\n\n### Optional Settings\n\n  - Notification target for the
    [mobile app notification target][1].\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 AI
    series UniFi Protect camera capable of detecting license plates (AI Bullet, AI
    Theta and AI DSLR).\n- A valid HTTPS certificate and [properly configured external

    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/*`

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

123

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

124

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.

125

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?

126

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:

    motion or a\nsmart detection.\n\n### Required Settings\n\n  - UniFi Protect Detection
    Sensor\n\n### Optional Settings\n\n  - Notification target for the [mobile app
    notification target][1].\n  - Presence filter - list of mobile phones or other
    entities that should be within the \"home\" zone\n  - Alarm entity to check arm
    states.\n  - Alarm arm states when the notifications should work. Required if
    alarm entity is selected.\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
    \ The presence filter works together with the alarm entity (you can choose presence
    filter or alarm entity, you can choose both or nothing at all).\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 camera. Only cameras that are capable
    of smart detections (G4, AI or G5 Series cameras) will have objection detection
    sensors.\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.
