Somewhere to store and discuss automation blueprints
I will endeavour to do some writeups on troubleshooting and create and issues template in the coming days.
STABLE:
BETA:
This blueprint will send a notification to your device when a Frigate event for the selected camera is fired. The notification will initially include the thumbnail of the detection, but include an actionable notification allowing you to view the clip and snapshot.
With this blueprint, you may send the notification to multiple devices by leaving "Device" blank and instead use a notification group.
Minimum Home Assistant Version: 2022.2 Minimum Frigate Version: 0.11.0 Minimum Frigate Integration Version: 3.0.0
- “Enable the unauthenticated notification event proxy” must be ticked during setup An MQTT broker connected to home assistant and frigate. Minimum iOS Version: 15.0
- Frigate Camera Name
- Mobile App Device or the name of a Notification Group or TV
- You can optionally send the notification as a critical alert.
- You can choose whether or not to update the notification with new thumbnails as they become available.
- You can limit notifications to objects entering pre-defined zones in Frigate.
- You can specify which zones to be notified about. This must be a list (e.g.):
- backyard - You can specify what type of objects to be notified about. This must be a list (e.g.):
- person - car
- You can disable notifications if a presence entity or group is "home".
- You can configure a cooldown for the camera to reduce the number of notifications when back-to-back events occur.
- You can silence future notifications for a defined amount of time through actionable notifications. This is helpful in situations where you know you will be triggering detections for an extended period of time. i.e. kids playing outside.
- You can set a loitering timer to notify you of stationary objects that remain for a set period of time.
- Fix for fps_value template error as per https://community.home-assistant.io/t/frigate-mobile-app-notifications/311091/451
- Fix Zone Filter being bypassed by snapshots as per https://community.home-assistant.io/t/frigate-mobile-app-notifications/311091/421
- Fix Zone Filter being incorrectly applied to the initial notification when Zone Filter was set to false.
- Improve camera entity selection by limiting it to frigate entities
- Improve presence entity selection by limiting it to device trackers, persons and groups
- You can prevent all secondary updates from making notification sounds (Alert Once)
- You can add use a state condition to restrict when you recieve notifications. E.g only when your door is locked, or only when your car isn't in the driveway or the sun is below the horizon.

- Added ability to customise the message text and buttons in the notification.
- You can customise the color of the notification
- Made the Action buttons customisable so you can link to anything of choice.
