send clip in notification (not "only" the URL)? #98
Comments
Hi @MrColumbo, Just side notes from yet another user Upon discovering Telegram's integration with frigate-notify, I was also expecting to receive notifications with attached clips. But later, after having thoughts on this feature, I decided not to request it because:
Could you please describe how the HA sends Telegram notification with clip attached: current behavior, what you would like to improve, other special notes? Thanks. |
Hi @freefd thanks for replying to my message and sharing your thoughts. Well - the HA integration for whatever reason miss come notifications. There are 3 cameras capturing the same are with some overlap. When I look at frigate directly i see typically 3 events - one from each camera but somehow i often get just 2 notifications via HA. Since HA is just to used to send notifications and there i nothing else i do there with the cameras I thought it might be nice to try a different way fully independent from HA. |
Hi @MrColumbo, Good and strong description of the business case, but I'm asking more about the nature of HA's messaging. For example:
Because I see some trouble there: if HA sends a message immediately while the scene is still in action, how to see the clip online while it's still in the recording stage on the Frigate side. Dear @0x2142, FYI, Telegram has two kinds of "Video Streaming":
If there are expectations of seeing a clip that is still being recorded on the Frigate side, the 2nd option should be considered. But I don't remember it being possible outside of group chat. Probably, there is the 3rd option for that I can't easily say is possible: the call a user and stream real-time video from Frigate instead of video from the user's phone/workstation camera. Long story short: without a deep dive into the Telegram API, I'd stick with option 2 (with explicit enabler from a configuration perspective!) from #98 (comment). |
Hi @freefd my trigger fires at the end of an event alias: Frigate send mp4 video to Telegram
....now that i am looking at it i am wondering if the condition is redundant since it is also the trigger .... hope that helps |
I think for the current moment, this is likely not something I will plan to add. However, I'll keep it on my list as something to potentially come back to later on. A few of my thoughts:

I just want to express my interest in this feature. Thanks for your awesome work. |
Currently I use homeassistant to receieve notfications and there i can send a clip directly to Telegram. I am wondering if this work with firagete-notify as well since it is quite nice like telegram shows a preview (like a thumbnail video) .
thanks and kind regards
