So on my HA at the moment there are three user accounts. The HA Admin account and an account for my wife and I.
I have put a picture on each of our user accounts. But how can i get the picture to show here rather than just L or C?. If i tap say C i see my profile picture and location of where i am.
So I am new to Home Assistant and trying to achieve the same goal of using uploaded profile photos to show up instead of the blue box of text.
Im trying to put two and two together based on everyones responses.
I see references to the path image: /local/images/your_person_pic.png I am assuming this needs to be the same identical name of what was originally uploaded with setting up a user. However this doesnât work.
I also see a lot of posting where this information is added. This seems to be a way of showing a SVG file and this proceeds the area where it starts with
image: >-
Then continues with this
data:image/svg+xml;charset=UTF-8,
etcâŚ
I have tried a number of ways to get this photo to show up and from what I can gather is you dont use any of the SVG stuff and just modify the
image: >-
to
image: /local/image/name_of_file_uploaded.png
However nothing shows up. Could someone give a bit more detail on what the solution is.
Yup, on 2023.7 right now and this does not work for me either.
Here is what DOES work though:
Simply go to the developer tools page, go to states and enter âperson.â to show all person entities, here you will see the entities attributes including âentity_pictureâ, there you will find the link to the user profile picture you can use.
Paste it in your dashboard configuration for image path
Now, Iâm new to HA so Iâm not sure if this will break things elsewhere, but at least now the exact same image resource is being served. Itâs the same approach as the post above me, but since youâre already in that area when you upload the picture I thought maybe it is easier for some.
