<p class='note'>
|

This platform is meant for developers only.

|
|
|
|
The `dispatcher` camera platform allows developers to create virtual camera's.
|
|
|
|
You would normally not add this camera to your configuration directly but have it be discovered by one of the components that uses it.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
camera:
|
|
- platform: dispatcher
|
|
signal: name_of_dispatcher_signal
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To update the image from another piece of code, run this from an async context:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from homeassistant.helpers.dispatcher import async_dispatcher_send
|
|
|
|
async_dispatcher_send(hass, 'name_of_dispatcher_signal', image_data)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
- **signal** (*Required*): The signal name of dispatcher signal they send image data to this camera.
|
|
- **name** (*Optional*): This parameter allows you to override the name of your camera.
