Frigate 0.10 Notifications
Raw
frigate_0.10_notification.yaml
blueprint:
name: Frigate Notification (0.10.0)
description: |
## Frigate Mobile App Notification
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][1].
### Software Version Requirements
Minimum Home Assistant Version: 2022.2
Minimum Frigate Version: 0.10.0 Beta 10
Minimum Frigate Integration Version: 2.2.0
Minimum iOS Version: 15.0
### Required entities:
- Frigate Camera Name
- Mobile App Device **or** the name of a Notification Group
### Optional features:
- 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][2] in Frigate.
- You can specify which [zones][2] to be notified about. This must be a list (e.g.):
```yaml
- backyard
```
- You can specify what type of [objects][3] to be notified about. This must be a list (e.g.):
```yaml
- 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.

Is it possible to add some conditions like time to the notifications?

For example i don´t want notifications during daytime when people are outside but i do want notifications during evening and night if someone is lurking around.

@LaurenceGough

That's what I was seeing @LaurenceGough, and the change I made fixed it. What are the settings for your automation? I have "Update Thumbnail" turned off, and Loitering Notifications set to 0. If you export your automation trace I am willing to take a look and try to debug it.

Also, I believe the number of notifications is based on the number of updates from Frigate, not that Home Assistant (the automation) is sending duplicates on its own.

Thanks Todd I turned update thumbnail off and that seems to have helped. The other day I also was lucky enough to receive a Coral accelerator, with the two combined the issue is resolved now it seems, massively reduced anyway! Thanks so much for your help all.

Hi NBD, I'd say the best way to do this would be to create another automation with time based triggers/conditions to turn on and off this blueprint automation.

I think some others have created forks of this blueprint to add timers but the suggestion above would be more future proof as the blueprint gets updated etc.

@NBD99 I wanted more control over when notifications are triggered, too, so in my fork I added support for a "Notifications Enabled Entity." I created a template sensor that takes all the variables into consideration (my device tracker group is home, an input_boolean for whether or not I want alerts while someone is home, and an input_boolean to temporarily disable all alerts (including door open/close, lock/unlock, etc.). When that sensor is True, notifications will be sent (if the other settings on the blueprint are satisfied); when it's False, notifications are suppressed. Currently my template sensor is NOT set to False when I silence notifications from the actionable notifications from this blueprint, because that just disables the automation for some time. Not sure if all that really fits your use case, but thought I'd throw it out there.

I spoke way too soon it seems, it went crazy today when a few people decided to loiter outside. Probably 200-300 notifications in under an hour.

I'll drop you the trace if you find any time to take a look at it it'd be massively appreciated, I don't think I'll have any hair left at this rate.

Well that actually seems like a quite simple solution that i haven't thought about. I tried it today and it worked like a charm, thank you!

Blueprints are great and this is a super way to get notifications but I am wondering, would anyone else find it useful to have a way that the automation could set the timeout based on another sensor. I have door open sensor and each time out a door I get a notif door opened and now I also get the Frigate person. Ideally the door open one would delay the corresponding camera notification for a period of time. I'm gonna try to figure it out but it's likely to take me longer than the next revision of this LOL. Please reply if you would like this feature and maybe HunterJM will consider it.

Has anyone gotten the Silence Notifications to work? This is becoming a very big annoyance in the household. I love the Blueprint other than this.

should be:

Getting Error rendering variables: ValueError: Template error: int got invalid input 'unknown' when rendering template '{{ fps_value|int if is_number(fps_value) or 5 }}' but no default was specified, which is probably related to typo mentioned earlier.

Great work! Working great for me. I'm not great with yaml, but I have something similar in Python where my cooldown timer is incremental by comparing the current cooldown time to a previously saved cooldown time, and if the previously cool down time is later, add the cooldown to that time. Are you able to do something like that in your script?

Basically the more events you have in a short period, the more seconds it keeps adding, resulting in fewer and fewer notifications until things truly cool down!

Hi, appreciate your work!
Suggestion as int filter cannot convert the value “unknown” to a number:

-  fps: "{{ fps_value|int if is_number(fps_value) or 5 }}"
+   fps: "{{ fps_value|int if is_number(fps_value)|int(5) }}"

I had the same issue. You need to make sure the FPS sensors are enabled for your cameras.

Look for any disabled entities with the name sensor_[cameraname]_fps and enable them.

Just installed Frigate and got that working well and now trying out this Blueprint. No notifications received for any of my cameras. Triple checked everything but couldn't see what I had got wrong. Then I found your post and corrected the typo. Now all working. Thank you for the tip off.
