Hi everyone,
I’m exploring ways to enhance my dashboard in Home Assistant and was wondering if it’s possible to fetch YouTube thumbnails dynamically.
For example, I’d like to display thumbnails from specific videos or channels inside a dashboard card (maybe using REST API, sensors, or a custom integration).
I’ve seen some manual methods to get thumbnail URLs, and I also tried a YouTube thumbnail downloader tool (https://thumbload.net/) just for testing purposes, but I’m not sure how to automate this inside Home Assistant.
Is there a better or more native way to pull thumbnail images into Home Assistant? Maybe using an existing integration or a custom script?
Any guidance or examples would be really helpful. Thanks!
