AndroidTV/FireTV Notifications From Frigate

Here is how I setup FireTV notivications in Home Assistant automation to stream a camera feed from Frigate.

Background

I first followed this excellent write up from Sean. The WebRTC stream was difficult to set up and was to slow to load on my FireTV (3 seconds).

I started looking into using Frigate's MJPEG Streams, which required modifing the APK to allow non SSL sites. I then expanded this code base to support Javascript for those who want to still use WebRTC and better handling of closing of the WebView.

Install APK

Install ADB on your computer

Enable Developer Options on your AndroidTV/FireTV

Download the APK from the release page

In a Terminal run the following commands to install the APK:

./adb connect FIRETV_IP

./adb install app-debug.apk

./adb shell appops set nl.rogro82.pipup SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW allow

Windows users probably don't need the ./

Fire up the App on the FireTV. If you want to test it there are good instrcutions in the write up above.

Test it out

Create a file called post.json with the folling content:

	{
	    "duration": 30,
	    "position": 0,
	    "title": "Your awesome title",
	    "titleColor": "#0066cc",
	    "titleSize": 20,
	    "message": "What ever you want to say... do it here...",
	    "messageColor": "#000000",
	    "messageSize": 14,
	    "backgroundColor": "#ffffff",
	    "media": { 
	        "image": {
	            "uri": "https://mir-s3-cdn-cf.behance.net/project_modules/max_1200/cfcc3137009463.5731d08bd66a1.png", 
	            "width": 480
	        }
	    }
	}

Run the following command line (change IP address!):

curl -d "@post.json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://ANDROID_TV_IP_ADDRESS:7979/notify

Home Assistant

Rest Commands

I am using the same ones in Sean's writeup.

In the configuration.yaml add this line in the bottom (obvs if you don't already have it)

rest_command: !include rest_commands.yaml

Then add the following to rest_commands.yaml

pipup_image_on_tv:
  # Use Pipup to display image notifications on Android TV devices.
  url: http://ANDROID_TV_IP_ADDRESS:7979/notify
  content_type: 'application/json'
  verify_ssl: false
  method: 'post'
  timeout: 20
  payload: >
    {
      "duration": {{ duration | default(20) }},
      "position": {{ position | default(0) }},
      "title": "{{ title | default('') }}",
      "titleColor": "{{ titleColor | default('#50BFF2') }}",
      "titleSize": {{ titleSize | default(10) }},
      "message": "{{ message }}",
      "messageColor": "{{ messageColor | default('#fbf5f5') }}",
      "messageSize": {{ messageSize | default(14) }},
      "backgroundColor": "{{ backgroundColor | default('#0f0e0e') }}",
      "media": { 
        "image": {
          "uri": "{{ url }}",
          "width": {{ width | default(640) }}
        }
      }
    }


pipup_url_on_tv:
  # Use PipUp to display web pages/videos
  url: http://ANDROID_TV_IP_ADDRESS:7979/notify
  content_type: 'application/json'
  verify_ssl: false
  method: 'post'
  timeout: 20
  payload: >
    {
      "duration": {{ duration | default(20) }},
      "position": {{ position | default(0) }},
      "title": "{{ title | default('') }}",
      "titleColor": "{{ titleColor | default('#50BFF2') }}",
      "titleSize": {{ titleSize | default(10) }},
      "message": "{{ message }}",
      "messageColor": "{{ messageColor | default('#fbf5f5') }}",
      "messageSize": {{ messageSize | default(14) }},
      "backgroundColor": "{{ backgroundColor | default('#0f0e0e') }}",
      "media": { 
        "web": {
          "uri": "{{ url }}", 
          "width": {{ width | default(640) }},
          "height": {{ height | default(480) }}
        }
      }
    }

Automation

Using MJPEG streams from Frigate I found the fastest to load.

Here is the automation I use. Change media_player.firetv_cube to your device and update the Frigate URL IPs and Cameras.

- alias: Doorbell Person Alerts
  trigger:
    platform: mqtt
    topic: frigate/events
  condition:
    # Only if the FireTV is On
    - "{{states('media_player.firetv_cube') != 'off'}}"
    # To reduce duplicate alerts, only every 60 seconds
    - '{{ (as_timestamp(now()) - as_timestamp(states.automation.doorbell_person_alerts.attributes.last_triggered, 0 ) | int > 60)}}'
    #Only show for a person and on doorbell camera
    - "{{ trigger.payload_json['after']['label'] == 'person' }}"
    - "{{ trigger.payload_json['after']['camera'] == 'doorbell' }}"
  action:
  # Make sure PipUp is running
    - service: androidtv.adb_command                         
      data:                            
        entity_id: media_player.firetv_cube                   
        command: ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep pipup || am start nl.rogro82.pipup/.MainActivity
  # This will exit the screensaver
    - service: androidtv.adb_command
      data:
        entity_id: media_player.firetv_cube
        command: input keyevent KEYCODE_WAKEUP
    - service: rest_command.pipup_url_on_tv
      data:
        title: Front Door
        message: Live Stream of Doorbell
        width: 360
        height: 200
        url: 'http://192.168.X.XX:5000/api/doorbell'

Once Automation is saved and loaded you can manually trigger it from the Admin page in Home Assistant to test.
