[Bug]: cameras with _1 suffix no longer trigger automation about ha_blueprints HOT 3 OPEN

I see now this was done due to issues with entity names

Automatically strip _1, 2 or 3 from camera entity

Would these issues be solved if the frigate integration provided the camera name as an attribute?

edit: Have filed a feature request upstream blakeblackshear/frigate-hass-integration#490

from ha_blueprints.

Thanks and sorry for the issues.

I had to make a choice as to which users were more common.

If there was an attribute that would be useful. I may also be able to create an array of camera names and compare both numbered and not numbered names.

The short term solution is to edit the entity id in the yaml of the automation to be camera.phone_1_1

I think I'll leave this as a beta feature so people have a choice, then can rethink it if frigate implements your requested change.
