Map source not loading

[chrisnchips]

I have begun to set up the card. As Ecovacs does not work with map extractor I have used a screenshot but it does not show up on my dashboard -just the little icon. Where have I gone wrong?

@chrisnchips it looks you setup the wrong path for your image. You need to point to the location of the screenshot.

Exactly, path should be similar to /local/community/...

[chrisnchips]

is there a best path to place the file?

[PiotrMachowski]

You should put the image somewhere in /config/www or its subfolders. HA will make it available under /local path.

Examples (<file location> -> <image url>):
/config/www/images/vacuum_map.png -> /local/images/vacuum_map.png
/config/www/vacuum_map.png -> /local/vacuum_map.png

Fantastic! it was exactly this and I can move onto cropping, thanks :)

How can i use the image entity from the ecovas intergration itself?

[PiotrMachowski]

You can just provide it instead of the camera entity (you have to do it in yaml editor)

[FoxXxHater]

And how could i do this?
Bcause if i write this, the map couldnt be loaded...

[PiotrMachowski]

map_source:
  camera: image.ecovacs_t30_pro_karte

Ahhhh, thanks... it works
