The `rpi` platform allows you to integrate the Raspberry Pi camera into Home Assistant. This component uses the application "raspistill" to store the image from camera.
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
camera:
platform: rpi_camera
name: Raspberry Pi Camera
image_width: 640
image_height: 480
image_quality: 7
image_rotation: 0
timelapse: 1000
horizontal_flip: 0
vertical_flip: 0
file_path: /tmp/image.jpg
```
Configuration variables:
- **name** (optional): name of the camera
- **image_width** (optional): set the image width (default: 640)
- **image_height** (optional): set the image height (default: 480)
- **image_quality** (optional): set the image quality (from 0 to 100, default: 7)
- **image_rotation** (optional): Set image rotation (0-359, default: 0)
- **horizontal_flip** (optional): Set horizontal flip (0 to disable, 1 to enable, default: 0)
- **vertical_flip** (optional): Set vertical flip (0 to disable, 1 to enable, default: 0)
- **timelapse** (optional): Takes a picture every <t>ms (default: 1000)
- **file_path** (optional): Save the picture in a custom file path (default: camera components folder)
The given **file_path** must be an existing file because the camera platform setup make a writeable check on it.
