Node-RED Notification flow for Home Assistant Companion (IOS) users

[walthowd]

Node-RED notification flow for IOS Users - Send notification when an object is detected, 3D/force touch into notification for live view of camera, use actionable notification to send the clip (intelligently waits for clip to be ready)

Example:

NodeRED Flow:

Requirements:

• Frigate HA Integration
• Home Assistant Companion App (IOS)
• Home Assistant accessible from the internet (or via Nabu Casa)

Installation:

Copy the flow to NodeRED (Hamburger Menu => Import):
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/XD62VwNj7s/

Edit the first "Format notification" function node and add your external URL. Optionally, edit case statement to customize your camera to location mapping. (For example, I customize the camera.doorbell location to be "front door")

Add following to your home assistant configuration for actionable notifications.

ios:
  push:
    categories:
      - name: camera
        identifier: 'camera'
        actions:
          - identifier: 'SENDSTILLANDCLIP'
            title: 'Send still and video clip'
            authenticationRequired: false

Restart HA and sync push categories to your phone (HA App => App Configuration => Notifications => Categories)

That's it, you're all done!

For my personal setup, I also add in history checking of my external doors and current state of doors to limit alerts. For example, don't notify if someone is at the front door if the front door opened in the last five minutes. I also use a input_boolean.person_notification to control if alerts are enabled, and add a actionable notifcation above called "SNOOZEPERSON" that temporarily disables notifications for four hours (useful when the kids are playing in the yard).

I also push all Frigate clips to my Roku TV (if it's idle) as well and announce alerts on Google Homes / Amazon Dots.

That full flow, for advanced users, is here:

Nice, thanks for sharing. I think I'll refactor my notifications this weekend using this!

[McPaHa]

Any possible to modify this (helping me and others) to work with android HA app?

[walthowd]

The Android app is a bit different, no dynamic attachments, etc. You can start with this flow but use Blake's android example from the docs to change the service calls:

Any possible to modify this (helping me and others) to work with android HA app?

Thanks walthowd for your flow. I was able to adjust this little bit for an Android notification with thumbnail. when you click the notification it play the clip and also you can watch live stream using mjpeg stream from the web server locally in your network. Here is the updated flow.

@lomanneh61 Would you mind pasting the code for Android here as well? Unfortunately Ubuntu Pastebin is not working for me as I cannot even register...

[thelefty]

I wish we could get a MQTT events when a new clip is ready to view. That would simplify your second flow quite a bit. Something I really want.

[MattEng0]

Extremely useful thank you. Saved me hours writing one up myself and testing it.

Just need to sort out the Android TV notifications and I’m set.

Thanks again!

[lomanneh61]

I am working on Android TV notification too. getting close. Just need for the pic to show up with the right snapshot size on the screen for 10secs

[MattEng0]

I've managed to get it working now by just tweaking the above flow slightly to allow for android notifications. Though haven't thought much about the snapshot size.

I can post the flow here if that helps you?

[koomanan]

That would be great if you could post the flow, I’m trying to do the same thing on my Nvidia Shield and Fire Tablet (wall mount)

[lukyjay]

Hi, I spent a bit of time getting Android TV to work and no one has shared their code. Hope this helps others:

[bmutari]

Please excuse my inexperience here.. trying to get up to speed on this flow. On the "Clip HTTP check" node I'm pretty sure I need to configure a tls service?

Can you provide a little more info around this node please?

Thanks!

[bmutari]

Never mind on the above, I got it. thanks for a great example of how to do this in Node-RED!

Has anyone else noticed that when you enter into the view recorded clip screen from the second notification that the iOS app cannot reconnect without a manual refresh (i.e. swiping down from the top)?

What I would ultimately like to do is have an actionable notification that jumps me right into media_browser/frigate/clips anyone know if that's possible?

Cheers!

[baccula]

What did you end up doing to get this working? I just added my external HASS URL, but I'm just getting 'No Response' in the node...

[trinity-geology-unstable]

Hi, I've borrowed this flow for my own Home Assistant/Frigate/Node-Red set up and it's working great. Thanks for sharing!

One thing I'm trying to add now is a check for whether my home alarm is armed or disarmed and only sending a notification when it's armed. I've tried to simply drop a 'current state' node into the flow just before the notification is sent at the end but it doesn't work. I assume the current state node is replacing the msg.payload with the alarm entity's state rather than passing the payload along un-modified. Can you help me implement such a check in another way?

[DrSpaldo]

Let us know if you find a solution to this, I also only want notifications when the alarm is active

[trinity-geology-unstable]

Will do. I haven't found a solution yet sadly.

[mothy-tim]

Hi, I'm new to node-RED and thought I'd give your flow a try. On importing I get an unknown item error and looking at the flow at the bottom it says unknown counter on one of the nodes? Where do I get or how do I fix this.
Thanks,
Tim

[walthowd]

You can go top right menu, Manage Palette, Install and search for node-red-contrib-counter

[mothy-tim]

Thanks for that, deployed it and it just says connecting and never connects. I'm not sure it's a problem with this flow as the Frigate integration seems to have a bug as I can't view the clips folder either! So I'll look into that and see if that's the problem and come back here if not! Cheers.

[koomanan]

Many thanks to OP for this post, it was a huge help. Just posting the same response from the reddit thread:

The companion app no longer requires defining categories, so I was having trouble with the above advanced node red flow working. I changed line 44 of the "Format Notification" node with the code below and it was fixed.

msg.payload = { data: {'message': msg.message, data: { 'entity_id': "camera." + msg.payload.after.camera, action_data: { 'entity_id': "camera." + msg.payload.after.camera, 'url': msg.clip, 'message': msg.message, 'screenshot': msg.thumbnail },actions:[{action:"SENDSTILLANDCLIP",title:"View Image and Video Clip"},{action:"SNOOZEPERSON",title:"Snooze"},{action:"OFFPERSON",title:"Alerts Off"}] , attachment: { 'url': msg.thumbnail } } } };

[mu71rd]

my "format notification" doesn't have a line 44. only goes up to line 43.

[mothy-tim]

I didn’t get it to work, I thought it might have been to do with frigate integration and error browsing clips but fixed that and made no difference to this flow, it just doesn’t connect!

[baccula]

OK, bummer. Yeah everything else in the flows seems to work ok, but I can't parse how this should be configured or if it needs to be... @walthowd any chance you can shed some light for us?

[mothy-tim]

Ok fixed mine, I looked at the settings for the mqtt node and changed localhost to the ip of my server and on the security tab added my mqtt username and password and it connected! Now working fine! Hopefully that's your problem too!
Cheers
Tim

[HAOccassionalUser]

This is a great automation. I was positive I got the code to is from some site, but I cannot find it any longer.

By any chance would it be possible to paste the node red code here? The other sources (reddit and ubuntu) require log ins and at the moment I have so many that I am losing track of what is where..Trying to limit the number sites I register to as it just gets unmanageable.

[Kurisutian]

Hi @walthowd and @lomanneh61,
thanks for sharing your code.
Would it be possible to share the flow somewhere else where there is no login required? I don't have an account with ubuntu one and signing up does not work for me as there is no email being sent for account verification. I would really love to take a closer look at both the iOS and the Android variants.

Thanks!

[Kurisutian]

Awesome, thank you very much @lomanneh61

[McPaHa]

Hi @lomanneh61 !

tried to import android version and get an error:

[Rowleys]

I get this error as well

[avico78]

@lomanneh61 - i also got this error while import ,

would be awesome if share correct code, thanks!

I tried to fix android version, should be fine, but need tests.

Two parts:

1. Thank you, this was very simple to deploy and I appreciate your work and for sharing. I’m a novice and this was very helpful.
2. I am using Blue Iris as my primary NVR and having Frigate trigger Blue Iris’s HD streams to record clips when people are detected. As a result I’d like to modify the notification sent to the IOS device so that force push on the notification simply opens the thumbnail image larger rather than the live stream and remove the whole “Send still and video clip” functionality since frigate has no access to clips. I’ve tried to modify the flow myself, with poor results… Either it keeps functioning like it did originally, or the notification breaks completely. Any idea where I should be looking to make this change?

@walthowd Thank you, I just logged in to say that. Great tutorial, simple to set up and works like a charm. Let me know if I can buy you a beer ;-).

I know this is old, but I have been starting to use/modify for my own use. What exactly does the relative time field do? I see it get set, but I don't see it used anywhere. Thanks!

Hi!

What will this code look like now that the push will be deprecated from HA?

ios: push: categories: - name: camera identifier: 'camera' actions: - identifier: 'SENDSTILLANDCLIP' title: 'Send still and video clip' authenticationRequired: false

I was wondering the same thing.

Hi @mek72 ,
I resolved the deprecated issue by adding the actions property in the format notification function node:

msg.payload = { 
  data: {
    message: msg.message, 
    data: { 
      ..., 
      actions: [
        { 
          action: 'SENDSTILLANDCLIP', 
          title: 'Send still and video clip' 
        }
      ], 
      ... 
    } 
  } 
};

What is the purpose of the 2 paths? Does the mqtt path get you an alert faster but without the clip?

[lowrisk75]

sorry if the question is very silly, but can we limit the (iOS) notification to person only? I'm not very good with node red, tried to look through it but didn't find a way to do it (and also can we limited to a specific camera or have different time notification for specific camera , e.g garage, only at night time?)

[hagak]

Sure you can each object has its own presence sensor so just key off that. For instance I have a Dooryard camera so I have a boolean for presence for cars and persons.
