Anyone been able to get the pop-up toast alert to work with AI screening?
I now want a pop-up on my Win 10 pc when a person is in my driveway. AI correctly detects a person in the standard alerts.

Under the alerts tab I have set up a pop-up toast with the requirement 'person' and it works under test mode but not in practice. If I leave the requirement field blank then it does generate a pop-up but of course I get unwanted alerts as well. It does not appear to recognise the AI filters. - I am running the latest updates. Any ideas as to how I can further troubleshoot this? - I have tried using various AI filters, also the group option with same results.

Well on a slightly different Alert I have this working:


So this Alert only fires if "person" has been detected by CPAI to prevent passing cars triggering my lights. In my case it then sends an MQTT command to Homeseer to turn my drive lights on.

Can you show your Alert command image ?

For any BI5 analysis, you need to set BI5 to create a text file of the Log (Status/ Log/ tick "Save to file" at bottom of window - it only creates one a month) so that you can see what happens. The normal log is of little use for this as it appears to be set up to count how many times something happened. If the above Alert triggers, I am expecting to see "BlueIris/Alert/Drive/Person/Status" in the Log from my "Drive" cam, and I got this last night:

0 07/06/2024 23:40:15.932 Drive AI: [ipcam-combined] person:73% [385,30 427,115] 32ms
0 07/06/2024 23:40:15.932 Drive AI: person:73%
3 07/06/2024 23:40:15.932 Drive Alerted
0 07/06/2024 23:40:15.951 Drive MQTT: Publish OK to BlueIris/Alert/Drive/Person/Status

So the Log shows that a "person" was detected, and "Publish OK" shows that it sent the MQTT command after detecting a person. Homeseer then turns the lights on, and off after ten minutes unless it has been re-triggered.


In your case, we need to see the Log when you KNOW there was a person detected by CPAI to see if you can follow the same sort of logic.
