There is a brand new entity type in town: The [image entity](/integrations/image/).
|

|

The image entity is very similar to the [camera entity](/integrations/camera/),
|
||||
but instead of providing a live stream, it provides a single image. For example,
|
||||
a QR-code that provides the WiFi credentials for your guest network, a weather
|

a QR code that provides the Wi-Fi credentials for your guest network, a weather
|

map, an image of the last motion detected by your camera, or just the cute cat

picture of the day!

Support for this brand new entity has been added to the [AVM Fritz!Box Tools](/integrations/fritz/),
|
||||
for guest network access, and the [MQTT integration](/integrations/mqtt/) and
|
||||
[Template integration](/integrations/template/) if you want to build your own.
|
||||
While the camera entity provided similar functionality, we wanted to make an
|
||||
entity tailored for these specific use cases. An image entity is much
|
||||
more lightweight and efficient compared to the camera entity. Also, this keeps
|
||||
our camera entities focused on providing actual camera feeds.
