Can I also enable notificationa for the audio detectors of frigate? E.g. der audio detector for fire alarm I would Like to get These notifications

This seems to work, BUT it's sending a notification every "interval" for stationary objects.
that means a big cluttering of notifications for parked cars, for example

If you need notification of offline devices via app and telegram, check my project.

This is great. Thank you so much for creating this. Is there anyway a "Message thread id" can be added so we can specify a topic to send the message to? This is done in other Telegram bot actions but i cant seem to figure out how to add it on my own to this blueprint
