This tutorial explains how to set up camera notifications with thumbnails in Home Assistant. If you have a camera and a motion sensor integrated, you can create a custom automation that captures a snapshot whenever motion is detected. This guide covers the entire configuration process, including how to define specific triggers based on device state.
We will also look at setting conditions for your automation, specifically using a template condition to check the last triggered time. This ensures you do not get spammed with repeated alerts. By the end of this video, you will have a functional system that sends you a visual preview of camera events, making your home assistant notifications much more useful.
