Feature request: service to force an image snapshot #14

I'd like to be able to create automations in HA for more complex timing logic or for intervals which may not survive a restart (e.g. daily). If there were a service exposed to call fetch_image, then I could do it with any external timing or event-based logic desirable. It might make sense in this case, to accept fetch_interval: 0 to disable built-in timing, but I can also just call the pause service on HA boot as a workaround.

What do you think about this idea?

I'm not sure what to think of the idea. It sounds very specific for your needs but not sure for what else. By the sounds of it you have a workaround. Contributions are welcome to make enhancements.
