Take a photo of it

Place the photo as /config/www/28.jpg

Follow as above.

Where can i do this ?

That’s no longer in the system, that’s the old interface from 2019. What are you trying to do?

26

I’m trying to add my own icon (or picture) to a button-card.
Not the custom-button card.

27

I don’t think you can.

It’s a little bit strange.
With a tile card you can.
I added this in config.yaml

homeassistant:
  customize:
    binary_sensor.poortsensor:
      entity_picture: /local/pmd-400px.png

Why isn’t that option available for every card ?

It’s the WTH month.

That has nothing to do with a card, you’re setting the picture to the entity as an entity attribute

It should be displayed wherever you select to show the entity_picture

Btw there is a FR to bring that feature to the Ui and not have to use customize…

Probably I’m doing something wrong but the button card does not accept the show_entity_picture.

I made the exact same attribute for this entity.

no you are right, core type: button is a terribly basic and neglected card. all you can do is this Button card - Home Assistant

if you want to show a button type card with an entity_picture, you’d need to use custom: button-card, or deal with the design intricacies of let’s say Tile card.

for a card like Button, it is especially underwhelming not being able to set a picture imho, this type of card has the canvas in the UI to show an image, and is particularly suited for that type of display

depending on your requirement, you can use one of the picture cards, and set an action to those

Thanks. I use a lot of custom button cards but I’m building a new dashboard and try to avoid the custom button card.
Don’t get me wrong, I love that card but it hasn’t been maintained for 11 months and there are still more than 200 open issues at GitHub.
Maybe I’m a little bit pessimistic :joy:
