Picture Element Blurry

[Nostrum (Sam McGowan)]

Hi,

I’ve used picture elements before and had reasonable success other than having to manually reload the picture every now and then.

Have set up a new dashbaord and noticed there has been an update to this card by the looks of it, you can now attach an image straight from the editor?

Anyhow, for some reaosn the picture element is always blurry when I upload it, haven’t changed any setting from the default but didn’t have the problem before?

Would really appreciate it if anyone could help, many thanks!

Hi,
I had the same problem. I finaly found it!
If you edit the yaml, you can see the image is describe like this
image: /api/image/serve/b4ba18707ffa73481d455d12c4b815ed/512x512
at te end you can see the 512x512 wich is a king of hars compression when drop off.

To solve the problem:
1/ copy your image to the dir “config/www”
2/ the edit the yaml and change the line “image” to :
image: /local/your_image.png

and that’s it!

cheers

Thanks Ian1515! Much appreciated.

I was following your advice and stumbled across something else

So I changed the YAML by remvoing the ‘512x512’ on the end of the image name to ‘original’ and it worked!

Appreciate you taking the time to reply, wouldn;t have fixed it without
