`camera.snapshot` v picture card

Configuration Frontend
1

Hi all,

I’m somewhat stuck trying to view a saved image.

My dilemma is this:

  1. I can save a snapshot to /snapshots/ and send it anywhere but not view it in a picture card.
  2. I can manually save an image to local/... (/config/www/…) and view it in the camera card but I cannot save a camera.snaphot there.

I have tried many combinations of path names for both saving and viewing. Can anyone shine some light on this?

Other info that may be pertinent:

  • I’m running HA container
  • /snapshots is both mapped in my docker compose file and also listed under allowlist_external_dirs.
  • I have a working automation that uses camera.snapshot and /snapshots/. I have another automation that happily send the saved image to Pushover.

well, for anyone else that is wondering, a little more research brought me to this card which can do it, so I now know the limitation is with the picture card which simply cannot show /media files.
