Frigate notification to HASS.Agent

as the title says, I want an automation that sends a notification to my windows pc via HASS.Agent. I've tried changing the notify.device entity in the automation but the Frigate blueprint seems to only work with mobile or any devices with the HA app installed.

the action seems like it should work

action:
  - action: notify.my_pc
    metadata: {}
    data:
      message: Motion Detected
      title: Front Door
      image: >-
        https://[public HA link]]/api/frigate/notifications/{{trigger.payload_json["after"]["data"]["detections"][0]}}/thumbnail.jpg

action:
  - action: notify.my_pc
    metadata: {}
    data:
      message: Motion Detected
      title: Front Door
      image: >-
        https://[public HA link]]/api/frigate/notifications/{{trigger.payload_json["after"]["data"]["detections"][0]}}/thumbnail.jpg

but i get Error rendering data template: UndefinedError: 'trigger' is undefined and I'm not sure how the trigger should be laid out I'm also not sure if the automation would only work when the actual event occurs and I can't just have it fetch the most recent image if I run the action manually

whats your full auttomation or whats your trigger first thing that comes to mind is to check the docu if there's actually a payload_json[after][data][detections][0] if it says trigger is undefined its probably in another variable can you send me the blueprint too maybe? a link to it would be good, i can see if there's any relevant documentation

I managed to get the notification to pop up with this automation but there was no image - I may need to adjust the link:

alias: PC Notif Test
trigger:
  - platform: mqtt
    topic: frigate/events
condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: "{{ trigger.payload_json['after']['label'] == 'person' }}"
action:
  - data:
      title: Frigate Person Detection
      message: >
        "Frigate detected a person on the {{
        trigger.payload_json['after']['camera'] }}."
      data:
        image: >-
          https://[Link]/api/events/{{
          trigger.payload_json['after']['id'] }}/snapshot.jpg
    action: notify.my_pc

alias: PC Notif Test
trigger:
  - platform: mqtt
    topic: frigate/events
condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: "{{ trigger.payload_json['after']['label'] == 'person' }}"
action:
  - data:
      title: Frigate Person Detection
      message: >
        "Frigate detected a person on the {{
        trigger.payload_json['after']['camera'] }}."
      data:
        image: >-
          https://[Link]/api/events/{{
          trigger.payload_json['after']['id'] }}/snapshot.jpg
    action: notify.my_pc

this was without the blueprint entirely, but this is the one i was going to try and alter https://community.home-assistant.io/t/frigate-mobile-app-notifications-2-0/559732

Home Assistant Community

Frigate Mobile App Notifications 2.0

Preamble In 2022, a home assistant release caused issues with the original blueprint. It seems @hunterjm has not visited that thread in some time. I have updated the blueprint and added dozens of new features. I am continuing to do so and the mods have split the thread here to make things simpler. Thank you very much Hunterjm for the foundationa...

Yeah trigger undefined was definitely a problem, but if it works now you just need to play around with the data I don't have ffrigate myself so idk there,e if you can give me the trigger object i can help figure it out, and an example link If you need help with that in the first place ofc

AniOP•5mo ago

yeah it's just a matter of getting the image to appear

AniOP•5mo ago

right now it's just this

AniOP•5mo ago

so i think i need to mess with the variables looks like the link is correct as https://[link]/api/frigate/notifications/[event id]/snapshot.jpg i just need to get the event id to replace it as a variable

DrR0x•3w ago

Get this working?

AniOP•3w ago

Nope unfortunately not. Haven't touched it in a while

DrR0x•3w ago

I use this myself, got a notification 10 mins ago, so i'll have a look and see if we can get yours working. Have you updated recently? Forked integration and 2.1.0?

AniOP•3w ago

Haven't updated in a while as I was away for Christmas. Are you able to share how you got it to work?

DrR0x•3w ago

Yeah just working on my server, will grab config once its running again

AniOP•2w ago

hiya mate, were you able to have a look at this? i'm planning to get a reolink doorbell so i'm hoping to get that working over frigate

Cake1468•2w ago

@Ani I've got this mostly working, so I'll dig up the details in a moment. I came looking for info about getting the URI: links working as they don't seem to be getting passed to the browser, but I do get notifications with a snapshot, so partially there.

AniOP•2w ago

awesome mate! thanks for chiming in looking forward to seeing it

Cake1468•2w ago

Alright @Ani see if this helps: https://pastebin.com/r2HgEAbt

@Cake1468 assuming this is your original code would I be able to use it on the docs? Will just paste it as an example, frigate and stuff is too niche to do as part of actual docs, but will have a page of examples with links like yours. Will credit obvsly.

Cake1468•2w ago

Yes, Happily! The second part is YAML generated from SgtBatten's blueprint, but the rest and comments are mine. I hope it all makes sense with the places to change things. I understand {insert change here} is common, but with HA templates I got a little concerned people might not change them and think they were part of the code itself. Might you have time sometime to work with me to figure out why the links from the notification buttons don't seem to be working? That would be the cherry on top for this component. Also, if it's for a doc, I should probably clean up that BP YAML a little. There are a few lines that I don't think are needed. You're welcome to include it anytime, and I'll send you an update once I've dialed it in.

if you'd be so kind as to take a look when you have an opportunity. I have the following from a trace that triggered a notiifcation to HASS Agent correctly, with a snapshot as desired, however nothing happens when you click the bottons. https://pastebin.com/PcJ1h9qa If I copy the URLs and paste them into the browser I can access the live stream or recording as desired. In HASS Agent I have the following settings for "External Tools", and "Test" works to open the browser in the correct profile as desired. However, nothing happens when I click the links. Here's a MQTT that displays a notificaiton https://pastebin.com/BPFdcx8S I just happend to have MQTT Expored open, and when I clicked a link, this showed up:

{"action":"URI","input":null,"uri":"https://lab.com/api/frigate/notifications/1738197645.585237-3hg80z/frigate_lorex_01_gate/clip.mp4"}

{"action":"URI","input":null,"uri":"https://lab.com/api/frigate/notifications/1738197645.585237-3hg80z/frigate_lorex_01_gate/clip.mp4"}

Perhaps I have the notification Blueprint configured wrong so that instead of opening the link it sends an MQTT message? I tried both 'URI' which is what the blueprint defaults to, and "uriopen" which is suggested in the HASS Agent docs.
