Support for cameras

[marcokreeft87]

I would love for Alarmo to have support for cameras so the push notification can include a snapshot of the room where the alert came from.

I have a setup where Alarmo sends a text message to my monitoring service when triggered. Also, when triggered, a script starts, taking two snapshots with two seconds in between them, and e-mails these to the monitoring service email-alarm receiver. Which allows for photo verification. I have another script starting when an entry delay is started, and when triggered, these pictures are included in the email.

Not ideal but that would work I guess

I use telegram to receive images from the cameras. Just edit the relevant action in YAML and insert the snapshots relating to the trigger.

EDIT:
At the moment, at least on my system, there is some kind of bug using this method: I can't use the "message" and the "photos" together because only the photos arrive and not the message. To solve this I have to use two actions with the same triggers: one contains the message with the triggering sensors and the other contains the photos. So it works and I receive two messages on Telegram.

Telegram notification can do a video notify with an mp4 file. I don't know if works with a gif
