Feature Request: Give an example / Documentation

[ic2hrmk]

Hi! Thanks a lot for the great work you are doing!

I am pretty new to Home Assistant and I found it a little bit confusing to start work with. Can you, please, add an example configuration on how to invoke the API you are providing from the integration? For example, a simple card with a live stream and motion controls.

Thanks a lot!

As an example it could be something like:

type: picture-glance
title: Tapo C200 (Eye)
camera_image: camera.eye_hd
camera_view: live
entities:
  - entity: camera.eye_hd
    icon: 'mdi:arrow-left-drop-circle-outline'
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: tapo_control.ptz
      service_data:
        entity_id: camera.eye_hd
        pan: LEFT
  - entity: camera.eye_hd
    icon: 'mdi:arrow-up-drop-circle-outline'
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: tapo_control.ptz
      service_data:
        entity_id: camera.eye_hd
        tilt: UP
  - entity: camera.eye_hd
    icon: 'mdi:arrow-down-drop-circle-outline'
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: tapo_control.ptz
      service_data:
        entity_id: camera.eye_hd
        tilt: DOWN
  - entity: camera.eye_hd
    icon: 'mdi:arrow-right-drop-circle-outline'
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: tapo_control.ptz
      service_data:
        entity_id: camera.eye_hd
        pan: RIGHT
  - entity: camera.eye_hd
    icon: 'mdi:eye-outline'
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: tapo_control.set_privacy_mode
      service_data:
        entity_id: camera.eye_hd
        privacy_mode: 'off'
  - entity: camera.eye_hd
    icon: 'mdi:eye-off-outline'
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: tapo_control.set_privacy_mode
      service_data:
        entity_id: camera.eye_hd
        privacy_mode: 'off'
  - entity: camera.eye_hd
    icon: 'mdi:power'
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: tapo_control.reboot
hold_action:
  action: more-info

Hey @ic2hrmk

Thank you for your example. It looks really great!

If you would like to, please go ahead, create a new folder called docs and file for example EXAMPLES.md and put in your examples, then just create a PR 👍

Anyone please kind enough to help how to implent the above? Of course I have installed the Tapo cameras integration and I can see live camera in HA but with default card.

I try to edit the card inside HA and insert the above code and I get this:

Visual editor is not supported for this configuration: Key 'entities' is not expected or not supported by the visual editor. You can still edit your config in YAML.

You can find many examples below.

If you are having trouble with picture glance card, read the official documentation. If you are still having issues, reach out for help in community forums.
