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,
Iāve 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:
blueprint:
name: UniFi Protect Motion / Smart Detection Notifications by Rockhound
domain: automation
source_url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AngellusMortis/unifiprotect_blueprints/main/blueprints/automation/unifiprotect/notification_smart_motion_event.yaml
description: "## UniFi Protect Motion / Smart Detection Notifications\n\nThis blueprint
will send push notifications to a Home Assistant mobile app when a camera detections
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]:

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 havenāt had much time to dig into this myself but Iām 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 deckedā¦insteadā¦it quickly toggles on and off once the detection STOPS. This might explain why the video notification never worksā¦itās trying to send a video of 0 length.
Iāll 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/postingā¦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 āarmed awayā or something like that. Maybe i should have a go at editing the yamlā¦ its been a while.
Thereās already an option for that in the blueprint.
Apologies, I must have an older version. Iāll 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 āFailed to load attachmentā 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. Iām wondering if one of the recent UniFi Protect updates changed something (currently on Protect 5.0.51).
Iāve 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 canāt understand why sometimes the image (and the video of the detection) shows up and other times it doesnāt.
I also have another automation that doesnāt use the blueprint, and recently stop showing the picture.

I think @Townsmcp is on to something regarding a situation where UniFi Protect is getting hounded for the same image/video multiple times. And it seems like the update of the iOS notification with the video clip might be part of the problem.
So, I modified this UniFi Blueprint by removing the video parts. Now, it seems like Iām getting push notifications with the image clip only and it seems like itās working more reliablyā¦Iām still testing through to confirm. UPDATE - it seems like every other push alert, the image works. TL;DR - this modified version of the blueprint did not fix it.

will send push notifications to a Home Assistant mobile app when a camera detections
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

And Iāve got a manual automation where it takes a snapshot of the camera as a jpg at the time and sends thatā¦this one seems to have no issues. The only downside is itās not pulling the exact detection moment from UniFi Protect.
Iām also wondering if thereās a way to leverage the UniFi Protect detections directly from the media-browser. And itād be awesome if pushing the notification could take me directly to that detection video in the Media Browser of HAā¦havenāt found anything definitive here yet.
