Excellent as always. Thank you for inspiring.
So nice of you Nenad!!! Thanks!
Teşekkürler.
So usefull, thanks.
how can I send, a new created image by a camera, where the name is variable to a mobile as a notification.
Thank you very much :) Really much appreciated
That's easy but also not. I save all new images under same name (overwrite existing), so it' s easier. With Folder watcher, you can use in automation trigger.event.data.path .
Check sample automation in documentation: www.home-assistant.io/integrations/folder_watcher/#automations
Mobile app should work the same, but there can be issues with clickAction - it will not open larger image, but browser with URL.
Here is example that can be used:
- service: notify.mobile_app
data:
message: HEre is new image
data:
image: mydomain:8123/local/doorbell.png
+Paul Delisi - you're comments are not showing up due to YT issue
That's weird
It's known issue unfortunately but YT is doing nothing to fix it for a long time.
Great work. is there a way to have the message show the file name and just the folder not the folder hole path? I didn't add the trigger.event.data.path
I've so far found only 3 data events - file, folder and path. Not sure others exist.
You can play with it and not add first folder but subfolder instead, then it would show only that.
