feature request person picture

[stevene1919]

hi

love this addon! was looking for a better way to do location tracking and notification, was going to use template sensors, but this solution makes that all redundant, and provides 1 tracking entity for person to use, making everything like automations accurate and less complicated.

im hoping now the dropouts from wifi router entity won't make my notification automations go crazy! less logic required ...

could we get an option to use a person entity picture? currently im manually setting one of the entities picture to the /api/blah location.

thanks!

This feature already exists. You can use the entity picture from one of the input entities, or you can use an URL, or a local file.

i was actually looking for the ability to use a person entity picture file automatically by selecting them, but not adding the person entity to be monitored.

i cant add the person entity to this new tracker because im using this device tracker for that person :)

this way, no messing around with changing images, can all be done in the ui.

@stevene1919 how did the person entity get the picture in the first place? If you uploaded it, can't you just upload it again for the composite entity? I know that's not the most efficient, but it could work for now.

@stevene1919 also, if you're using the composite entity as an input to a person entity, doesn't that imply that you'd be using the person entity in the UI and not the composite entity (e.g., on a map or for some widget)? In that case, does the composite entity even really need a picture?
