A Node-RED example how to show a Companion App notification and go direct to a specific dashboard.

I use this when Frigate detects a person, which sends a MQTT message with the picture, triggers via Node-RED a Home Assistant call service node which sends a notification to my phone with the text that there is somebody at the front door together with a screenshot. When you click on the notification it opens the HA Companion app and goes to the Home Assistant dashboard with the live camera streams.
