Yeah I understand this issue is unrelated to these blueprints or how the Unifi Protect Integration works. Glad I got some steps closer to a solution and will look in other places for more information. Thanks!
Hi Angellus. Iāve been using your integration and blueprints since briiis was the origin author. Appreciate your hard work on maintaining this. I was originally on android and the Smart Detections bp has always worked like a charm with the initial picture and then video clips notification updates. I switched to IOS a couple of months ago and my notifications have never been as reliable. A lot of times the initial message does not include the the image. I would usually get the video clip shortly after but even that would occasionally just show a black box. I never had the time to start troubleshooting till this weekend.
I did a reimport of your bp to ensure I had the latest version and started to test manually with the debug event id (didnāt even know that was an option till I updated the bp). Coincidentally I did my testing using the MacBook instead of my iPhone and noticed there was an āerrorā in the thumbnail for the image notification (never noticed this on my iPhone). When expanded it gave a āFailed to load attachmentā error. While searching the forum I saw that another bp as having similar issues and they seemed to found a fix or workaround. Iām not sure if this is the exact same thing Iām experiencing (as well as others who have mentioned similar issues with this bp).
Please see link to forum post below that hopefully is helpful. A few post down they post a potential fix with an update. I also added a pic of the error as seen in MacOs.

I think this is similar to the sporadic issues Iāve seen and reported as well. While the camera feed is nice when it works, it often either takes too long to load or fails to load.
Does anyone know what in the BP would specifically need to change to grab the snapshot instead of the video for iOS? It seems like if I really want to see the video, Iāll click through to launch the actual camera.
What are you using as the trigger for this automation to ensure that the eventID is availble when you need it ? I get NONE as the eventID somtimes ?
So, to make sure Iām 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 āopen cameraā 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
Itāll open the app and redirect you to the stream.
Iām now seeing this āfailed to load attachment Response could not be serialized, input data was nil or zero lengthā 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?
Thanks for creating this and Iām 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, Iād 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.
I believe the dev is taking a hiatus and likely switched the repo to private or took it down.
so because the devs account is suspended until later this year the blueprint cant be installed? is there no work around for this?
The DEV owns the code so no. Itās not because they were suspended, itās 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. Iāll 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)

License plate smart notifications (notification_smart_licenseplate_event.yaml)
blueprint:
name: UniFi Protect License Plate Notifications

description:
"## UniFi Protect License Plate Notifications\n\nThis blueprint will
send push notifications to a Home Assistant mobile app when an AI series series
camera detects\na License Plate.\n\n### Required Settings\n\n - UniFi Protect
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
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/
Iām not sure the editorialization here is helpfulā¦even with all the public information available on what happened here the high road is always a better choice.
