Recipe - Content Escalation¶

Purpose¶

Make a notification more impactful if the message or title has certain words in it.

Implementation¶

Uses a Scenario and ability of standard templating to see and make logic checks on the notification message.

In this case a Frigate notification is usually a medium priority, however if the phrase person was detected is in the message, and the alarm state indicates the house is empty, these are sent as text message, email and mobile push just to make sure it gets through.

Example Configuration¶

  scenarios:
    high_alert:
        alias: make a fuss if alarm armed or high priority
        conditions:
          - "{{notification_priority in ['high'] and 'person was detected' in notification_message|lower }}"
          - condition: state
            entity_id: alarm_control_panel.home_alarm_control
            state:
              - armed_away
              - armed_vacation
        delivery:
          .*:
            enabled: true
            data:
              priority:critical

Variations¶

• Use {{'LONE_HOME' in occupancy}} to check if home is empty
• Use risk levels in the message, as set by GenAI in the Voice Described CCTV Recipe
