Examples
Basic example:
type: picture-entity
entity: light.bed_light
image: /local/bed_light.png
Different images for each state:
type: picture-entity
entity: light.bed_light
state_image:
"on": /local/bed_light_on.png
"off": /local/bed_light_off.png
Displaying a live feed from an FFMPEG camera:
{% raw %}
type: picture-entity
entity: camera.backdoor
camera_view: live
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: camera.snapshot
service_data:
entity_id: camera.backdoor
filename: '/shared/backdoor-{{ now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S") }}.jpg'
{% endraw %}
The filename needs to be a path that is writable by Home Assistant in your system. You may need to configure whitelist_external_dirs (documentation).
