Is a Snapshot available via MQTT?

[ulanking]

I like how the snapshot shows the item and the percentage and it's a small image. Is it available in MQTT so I can use it to generate alerts in HA?

viseron --> image looks like where it is. But this isn't available in Home Assistant.

homeassistant --> camera this IS obviously in Home Assistant but doesn't contain the snapshot.

It would be nice to have a snapshot similar to this exposed in MQTT for HA.

Thank you!

In Home Assitant you have the camera entity with the latest thumbnail(camera.<CAMERA IDENTIFIER>_latest_thumbnail), but it is not zoomed in on the object like the snapshot is.
Is the latest thumbnail enough or is it the zoomed in version that you are after?

The zoomed in image is substantially smaller. I'm sending the camera.<Camera Identifier>_latest_thumbnail as a notification to my cell - which is nice - yet the zoomed image actually clearly identifies the object and is much smaller. Enhancement request (camera.<Camera Identifier>_latestobject or something similar)?????

As always - enjoying the journey with Viseron!

Additional clarifications for the enhancement request:

The MQTT path for the snapshot image would be inside of viseron/image and should include the path, filename and the image. The path and filename could be used to manually reference the image in HA or the MQTT binary image could also be used.

What do you think about this?

Thank you again!
