The rpi_camera platform allows you to integrate the Raspberry Pi camera into Home Assistant. This component uses the application raspistill to store the image from camera.
To enable this camera in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
camera:
- platform: rpi_camera
{% configuration %} image_width: description: Set the image width. required: false default: 640 type: int name: description: Name of the camera. required: false default: Raspberry Pi Camera type: string image_height: description: Set the image height. required: false default: 480 type: int image_quality: description: Set the image quality (from 0 to 100). required: false default: 7 type: int image_rotation: description: Set image rotation (0-359). required: false default: 0 type: int horizontal_flip: description: Set horizontal flip (0 to disable, 1 to enable). required: false default: 0 type: int vertical_flip: description: Set vertical flip (0 to disable, 1 to enable). required: false default: 0 type: int timelapse: description: Takes a picture every this many milliseconds (thousands of a second) - the default means one picture a second. required: false default: 1000 type: int file_path: description: Save the picture in a custom file path. required: false default: A temporary file is used. type: string {% endconfiguration %}
The given file_path must be an existing file because the camera platform setup performs a writeable check on it. Also, keep in mind that the path should be whitelisted.
