Feature Request:Action in automation to take a picture based on a time trigger #406

Closed CarstenDennis closed 10 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Not a problem, but a feature request :-)

I would like to use this existing camera, that is overviewing our garden, to make a timelapse of the garden, with a few pictures per day at the same time each day.

Describe the solution you'd like An additional action under devices to "Take picture and store to local memory"

Describe alternatives you've considered Scripts use the same actions as far as I can see.

Additional context Here you can see where I mean it would be nice with an action that just takes a picture: image

I can save a picture (also record video manually) via the offical Tapo app, that is stored on the device itself, but not via home assistant.

Great integration otherwise!
