AI Motion description (automation.ai_motion_description) has an unknown action

Bug Description

I setup the blueprint to try to notify on my cell, and it is giving me this error whenever it triggers

The automation "AI Motion description" (automation.ai_motion_description) has an unknown action: notify.mobile_app_mikes_cell_receiver_2023.

I'm only able to select "Mike's Cell Receiver 2023" from the notify devices drop down

Version: 1.3.1

Additional context

I tried to change the notify_device to the value that I use in my other automations (mobile_app_mike_s_cell_receiver_2023), but that didn't seem to work either. Also, when I returned to edit the blueprint, it blanked out the drop down when I tried that value.

There is a bug right now that occurs when the entity_id of the phone contains "invalid characters". This post in the forum might help: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/camera-frigate-intelligent-ai-powered-notifications/785335/87?u=valentinfrlch.

I've submitted a pull request to adjust the blueprint. It is tested and working on my HA instance.

How much is this really fixed? It seems to fix the issue around using ' (apostrophe) but not 'special characters'? If you e.g. have special characters like é or æøå it does not work still as I see it. Should this be handled as a new bug?

My phone is called 'Sørens iPhone', that is translated into 'srens_iphone' and not 'sorens_iphone':

Error: Action notify.mobile_app_srens_iphone not found

Just googling jinja, it looks like if you add on | unidecode to the end of that in the blueprint. So, this:

  device_name_map: >
    {% set ns = namespace(device_names=[]) %}
    {% for device_id in notify_devices %}
      {% set device_name = device_attr(device_id, "name") %}
      {% set sanitized_name = "mobile_app_" + device_name | lower | regex_replace("[' -]", "_") | regex_replace("[^a-z0-9_]", "") | unidecode %}
      {% set ns.device_names = ns.device_names + [sanitized_name] %}
    {% endfor %}
    {{ ns.device_names }}

Maybe you could try that out? To alter the blueprint, open it in either 'file editor' (if you have that add-on), or use the samba add-on to access it remotely. The path to that file is config/blueprints/automation/valentinfrlch/event_summary.yaml. Of course, you'll probably want to backup the original file before editing.

Thanks for the suggestion. As a first step I just tried this in the developer tools for Templates:

{% set device_name = "Sørens iPhone" %}
{% set sanitized_name = "mobile_app_" + device_name | lower | regex_replace("[' -]", "_") | regex_replace("[^a-z0-9_]", "") | unidecode %}
{{ sanitized_name }}

But I get "TemplateAssertionError: No filter named 'unidecode'." - so apparently this is not included.

BTW a workaround for me personally is this - but obviously not a good general solution :-)

{% set sanitized_name = "mobile_app_" + device_name | lower | regex_replace("[ø]", "o") | regex_replace("[' -]", "_") | regex_replace("[^a-z0-9_]", "") %}

Some more in-depth google searching pointed me to the templating documentation for HA, and in there I found slugify. That seems to do the trick:

{## Imitate available variables: ##}
{% set name = "søren's" %}

Name: '{{ name }}' becomes '{{ name | slugify }}'.

Result:

Name: 'søren' becomes 'soren_s'.

I bet that we could clean up some of the rest of that regex replace with that function too. I am busy for the new year, but I can take a look later this week if no one else can.

(edit: changed example to søren's)

Thank you, this seems exactly what we need! I think the HA dev docs mentioned "slugify" at some point, but I didn't know that there was a Jinja filter too. I'll take a look at it tomorrow.

[valentinfrlch]

It seems to work! I pushed it to main. @sorenbache if you could test and give feedback, that'd be amazing!
Thanks @rappazzo for the fix!

[sorenbache]

Seems to work just fine! Thanks.
