how can I send the contents of an entity via xmpp or a matrix notification? For example, the entity is image.ipcam_sued_person (frigate) and contains a snapshot. jpg.

how can I send it as an image with xmpp.

message: { ???} or with path: ???

    If you’re using xmpp, check the docs. It’s possible to send an image.

    Next, you need to find where the static image is stored. How are you accessing the latest image from the IP Camera?

    I think that the example in the documentation closely aligns with what you want to achieve here.

      I know how to send images with xmpp. The problem is that the file name changes with every new snapshot. The entity image.ipcamsued_Person contains this current snapshot.

      The question now is: how can I send the contents of this entity via xmpp. Do I have to read it out first and save it as a jpg?

        Ok! So if you look at the attributes for image.ipcamsued_Person, what do you find listed? Hopefully a file path will be visible

          I managed it:

          alias: Frigate - Notification
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: mqtt
    topic: frigate/events
condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: "{{ trigger.payload_json[\"type\"] == \"end\" }}"
action:
  - service: notify.jabber
    data:
      title: "Kamera {{trigger.payload_json['after']['camera']}} "
      message: >-
        Objekt {{trigger.payload_json['after']['label']}} erkannt von Kamera
        {{trigger.payload_json['after']['camera']}}.
      data:
        path: >-
          /mnt/sandisk1TB/frigate/clips/{{trigger.payload_json['after']['camera']}}-{{trigger.payload_json['after']['id']}}.jpg
