<ol style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li><p>'''Access Automation Editor:'''</p>
<ul>
<li>Go to your automation editor at: <code>http://192.168.5.4:8123/config/automation/dashboard</code></li></ul>
</li>
<li><p>'''Use Frigate Notifications Blueprint:'''</p>
<ul>
<li>Click '''“Blueprints”''' at the top right.</li>
<li>Click '''“Frigate Notifications”''' which is what you want.</li></ul>
</li>
<li><p>'''Configure Automation:'''</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Here you scroll down to choose your camera, and your mobile device, the name of the automation, etc.</p></li>
<li><p>Most important thing to get right is the name of the camera &amp; the mobile device, everything else you can customize and it’s not for me to tell you how to.</p>
<blockquote><p>'''NOTE:''' If your mobile device does not show up, log into Home Assistant on your phone and add it as a device to Home Assistant. It will prompt you to do this by default when you first set up the app. Then go back here and redo this step (you will have to close out of the window you just opened after clicking '''Blueprints → Frigate Notifications''' &amp; reclick it so the dialog box for your phone will show your phone)</p></blockquote></li></ul>
</li>
<li><p>'''Make sure MQTT is set up in the <code>frigate config.yml</code> file:'''</p>
<ul>
<li>Make sure in Frigate’s '''Config''' menu, in the <code>config.yml</code> file, MQTT is set up as follows, with the username &amp; password matching your homeassistant login, and your host matching the IP address of the home assistant server:</li></ul>
</li></ol>
