When trying to use a image widget I get a very long Python error which ends with: AttributeError: ‘EList’ object has no attribute ‘get’
Here is the widget specification
- image:
- file: images/home.png
type: rgb
id: home_image_widget
I have tried using url images, svgs, and different types, all seem to give the same result
Hello LaMalditaG,
I’m not familiar with any widgets in home assistant. Can you explain metter what you are using and what you are trying to do?
hello, this was referring to EspHome, it seems that I forgot to mention it.
What I’m trying to do is to show a custom icon using lvgl in a screen connected to a Esp32
Then I shall bump it to the ESPHome category for you so someone that might know might see it.
Post the logs.
I don’t exactly know what logs you are referring to, but here is what I get after running esphome run test.yaml:
INFO ESPHome 2025.9.1
INFO Reading configuration test.yaml...

AttributeError: 'EList' object has no attribute 'get'
Yes, those are the logs. Without seeing the rest of your yaml, it’s hard to be sure, but I suspect you are trying to define an image inside the lvgl config - that’s wrong, you need to define the image in the top-level image component and refer to it using its id in an image widget using the src option - read the docs.
You are right, I defined the image inside the lvgl config. But even defining it outside and using it inside lvgl, it gave the same error.
However, I discovered the problem, I defined the widget like this:
- image:
- src: home_image
but actually, it should be like this:
- image:
src: home_image
because it’s not a list. I didn’t read the docs correctly, I don’t know why I assumed it was a list.
Thank you
Great. So obviously the error message should have been more helpful, throwing a stack trace isn’t very user friendly, so I’ll look at a fix for that, but glad you’re on track now.
