  description: |
    ## Frigate Mobile App Notification

    This blueprint will send a notification to your device when a Frigate event for the selected camera is fired. The notification will initially include the thumbnail of the detection, but include an actionable notification allowing you to view the clip and snapshot.

    With this blueprint, you need to configure a [notification group][1] which may contain one or more devices for which the notifications are sent.

    ### Software Version Requirements
    Minimum Home Assistant Version: 2022.2
    Minimum Frigate Version: 0.10.0 Beta 10
    Minimum Frigate Integration Version: 2.2.0
    Minimum iOS Version: 15.0

    ### Required entities:
      - Frigate Camera Name
      - The name of a Notification Group

    ### Optional features:
      - You can optionally send the notification as a critical alert.
      - You can limit notifications to objects entering pre-defined [zones][2] in Frigate.
      - You can specify which [zones][2] to be notified about. This must be a list (e.g.):
        ```yaml
        - backyard
        ```
      - You can specify what type of [objects][3] to be notified about. This must be a list (e.g.):
        ```yaml
        - person
        - car
        ```
      - You can disable notifications if a presence entity or group is "home".
      - You can configure a cooldown for the camera to reduce the number of notifications when back-to-back events occur.
      - You can silence future notifications for a defined amount of time through actionable notifications. This is helpful in situations where you know you will be triggering detections for an extended period of time. i.e. kids playing outside.
