The `local_file` camera platform allows you to integrate any readable image file from disk into Home Assistant as a camera. If the image is updated on the file system the image displayed in Home Assistant will also be updated.
This can for example be used with various camera platforms that save a temporary images locally. It can also be used to display a graph that you render periodacally and will then be displayed in Home Assistant.
To enable this camera in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
camera:
platform: local_file
name: Local File
file_path: /tmp/image.jpg
```
Configuration variables:
- **name** (*Optional*): Name of the camera
- **file_path** (*Required*): File to serve as the camera.
<p class='note'>
The given `file_path` must be an existing file because the camera platform setup make a readable check on it.
