The `mqtt` camera platform allows you to integrate the content of an image file sent through MQTT into Home Assistant as a camera. Everytime a message under the `topic` in the configuration is received, the image displayed in Home Assistant will also be updated.
|
||||
|
||||
This can be used with an application or a service capable of sending images through MQTT, for example [Zanzito](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.barbaro.zanzito).
|
||||
|
||||
To enable this camera in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
||||
camera:
|
||||
- platform: mqtt
|
||||
topic: zanzito/shared_locations/my-device
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration variables:
|
||||
|
||||
- **topic** (*Required*): MQTT topic to subscribe to.
|
||||
- **name** (*Optional*): Name of the camera
