The `rpi_camera` platform allows you to integrate the Raspberry Pi camera into Home Assistant. This integration uses the application [`raspistill`](https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/camera/raspicam/raspistill.md) to store the image from camera.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
To enable this camera in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
