WTH aren’t we allowed to simply upload a photo/avatar to our user in lovelace? AFAIK one needs to copy the file manually and customize the person in yaml.
I didn’t know that pictures could be added, but yes pictures instead of initials! 
You can already do this @PMaksymiuk though it is slightly more work than just uploading.
Step 1. Copy the image you want to www/images
Step 2. Go to customise entities in the menu and set the newly copied photo as picture_entity. Or alternatively you can create a customize.yaml file and do the following:
person.your_name:
friendly_name: James
picture_entity: /local/images/james.png
I will suggest using customize.yaml simply because it can set much more than lovelace can.
E.g. the friendly name is persistent everywhere (not just in lovelace) you can also add a fixed icon (so you wont get the default lightbulb icon, even when you open a more-info window. Whereas if it was set in lovelace alone, the icon will only be different in that specific lovelace card and not anywhere else)
Example:
light.livingroom_ceiling_light:
friendly_name: Ceiling
icon: mdi:ceiling-light
Or force a device type like this:
sensor.iphone_battery:
friendly_name: James iPhone Battery Level
device_class: battery
sensor.temp_kitchen:
friendly_name: Kitchen Temperature
device_class: temperature
icon: mdi:thermometer
I find the UI way too complicated to do such tasks (especially since it is not sorted by entity but by device name) this way you will save a lot of time.
Hope this helps.
@jimz011As I mentioned, I know it can be done this way. However, I think it would be much better to have a simple “upload” button in the person editor
I saw elsewhere someone hinted at this feature in the upcoming 115 release.
