How can convert Home Assistant dashboard into a video stream that can be accessed via RTSP?

I want to convert my Home Assistant dashboard into a video stream that can be accessed via RTSP

Do you mind elaborating why you want to do this?

As in read only? Like, no interacting with it? Because that’s what RTSP would get you, nothing but a read only view.

If you want to be able to interact with it, you need rdp/vnc.

Probably not what you are looking for, but maybe a starting point:

Yeah, but WHY?

I’m very interested for the use of this because I cannot think of any use-case to show a dashboard as a video and you can only look at it.
Why not just a display and a RPi to show it?

I’m also curious if, and how, it can be done what you are looking for!

Did you get anywhere with this?

For those who want to know why:
I have a HikVision indoor station (Display panel for the doorbell) in my Hall and Garage.
I want a very basic dashboard with information on the solar / house battery and a few external sensors and possibly the Doorbell stream or front Garden stream on a single page.
Saves having another display next to ones already there.

HI Will, from what I understood OP want something else: they want to stream their dashboard as video.

What you want is quite simple to achieve: with one of the picture cards you can add a camera and if you want to take it a step further, you can make it appear as a popup when someone rings/there is motion IF you doorbell/camera supports this and you have that sensor available in HA.

I want to do the same, stream a very basic dashboard page to the Indoor station.

Sorry, my bad! :crazy_face:
Now I understand to goal!

Any updates? I have the same question. I want to view (view only - no interaction) my HA dashboard on my smart tv using tinycam pro - HA in one window and 3 cameras in the other 3 windows. Only solution I have for now is to point a camera at a computer monitor that is displaying HA dashboard.

This intrigues me and I don’t have alot of programming stuff going on atm. I don’t promise anything, but I’m going to do cursory research into recording a dashboard and transporting via rtsp.
