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.
