Using the [generic camera platform] you can present any image on the internet as a camera. Starting release 0.27 these urls can also be based on a template. This example uses this functionality to point a generic camera at the Google Maps static image API and pass in the location of a device.
|
|
|
|
It also leverages the `limit_refetch_to_url_change` option to ensure that we do not make a lot of requests to the Google Maps API.

```yaml

# Example configuration.yaml entry.

# Shows device_tracker.demo_paulus on a map.
