Home Assistant Integration/Last ID Card

[whiney1]

Figured out a HomeAssistant integration recently, thought it might be worth a share.
I have BirdNET-Go running as as native Add On via AlexBelgium.

I followed this guide with the following changes (thanks Rhett cc if you're on here!):

• mqtt sensor setup to align with BirdNET-Go default mqtt config, ie state_topic is just 'birdnet':

# Birdnet sensor
mqtt:
  sensor:
    - name: "Birdnet sightings"
      state_topic: "birdnet"
      json_attributes_topic: "birdnet"
      value_template: ""# Birdnet sensor

• created the bird-pi-photo template image using the GUI and the following url (no URL defined in guide):

{{states.sensor.birdnet_sightings.attributes.BirdImage.URL}}

• created the interface card on an existing dashboard with updated primary and secondary attributes:

type: custom:stack-in-card
cards:
  - show_state: false
    show_name: false
    camera_view: auto
    type: picture-entity
    entity: image.bird_pi_photo
  - type: custom:mushroom-template-card
    primary: >-
      {{states.sensor.birdnet_sightings.attributes.CommonName}} |
      {{states.sensor.birdnet_sightings.attributes.Time}}
    secondary: "{{states.sensor.birdnet_sightings.attributes.ScientificName}}"
    entity: sensor.birdnet_sightings
    icon: ""

Hope that helps someone!

Thanks for this. I wonder how hard it would be to use that AuthorURL in the MQTT payload to get more images off of flicker.
