Feature Request: Fire an event once snapshot is complete

[creack]

Bump of #839.

After spending some time looking around, looks like the current consensus is to use the delay action, which is... less than ideal. Having a proper event fired when the snapshot is done would make a lot of things much more reliable.

My use-case is to upload the snapshot to dropbox/google drive after the snapshot is available.

Perhaps I could instead recommend this add-on? It doesn't do what you're asking for, but it does manage the work of putting snapshots into Google Drive reliably.

While this would work indeed, I still think we should have an event. After a quick look at the code, it looks like the plugin sets up a file system watcher to work around the lack of event.
This seems overly complicated and prone to errors while a simple event after snapshot would fit quite well into the Home-assistant pattern and simplify things a lot.

I would like this as well, the "upload snapshots to dropbox" add-on could also benefit from this functionality.

I am interested in this feature as well (for snapshot cleanup/upload).

Why is this automatically closed?

Looks like we need a new issue since this one has been closed as stale
