Hello Folks! I don't want to expose Blue Iris outside of my home network. Which means picture previews on notifications on my Android phone via the Blue Iris app don't work. I also don't want to setup up something complex using MQTT and Home Assistant just for notifications. So I wrote a Python script that is executed by Blue Iris that sends a message, and uploads the alert image directly to Pushover. The script uses the &ALERT_PATH macro added in Blue Iris v5.2.0.2 to determine which alert image to send with the notification. Boom notifications on my phone in the Pushover app with picture previews.
You can find the script, and instructions for setting it up right here. One caveat, the instructions assume you already have Python and Pushover setup.
