Camera still on the dashboard - can I replace it with a triggered one?

I have a camera group on my dashboard that happens to have one camera (skybell) in it, so I see a still image on the dashboard. I think the module switches out the image every once in a while using a call to the skybell service. but it’s just a picture of my front stairs and the street, not associated with motion or anything else I can determine, so pretty useless.

I’ve created automations that send picture snapshot text messages on motion, is it possible to instead replace this image? Where is it located in the file system? Is that area writeable through an automation?

You could try just saving a snapshot to a particular file (probably under www directory within your config folder) and then use a generic camera and point it to that local URL.

Just noticed this but there’s also a camera component to read from a local file that would be a little simpler than the generic camera.
