Why not do timelapse on the Pi then? MotionEye can do that
Ah nice, this looks promising.
So from just some quick googling it's an image/OS I can flash to the pi that can do timelapses with images?
Can it be triggered to take a timelapse image based on HA state rather than time interval?

If you use MotionEyeOS, yes
As for that... no idea. Timelapse is fixed as far as I know, but it does also have an API that you can use
So you should be able to just get it to take snapshots on demand

Alright thanks, it certainly looks promising, I'll install it and have a go at getting it to work like I was describing with HA

Ok, so I tried with this, but unfortunately it's so old that it took a ton of workarounds just to even get the pi camera v3 to show up in motioneye.
So for now I'm just trying to do a simple python script with the Picamera2 library to control taking the timelapse frames with the picam v3 and saving them numbered when the print is running and then zipping them into a zip file when the print has finished.
Would there be an easy interface to get the HA state either on a cycle or pushed to the pi, that I can use in a python script (or maybe bash script if that is not available), and how would I install it on a normal raspi os lite install (bookworm)?
Alternatively would there be a way to stream still images in full resolution (4608x2592), full jpeg quality (e.g. the default quality factor of 93), HDR on and with autofocus turned on to HA? Low FPS is fine since it's mostly for timelapse purposes

webhooks?
MQTT?
There's a bazillion options
Hell, command line
Bodge your own anything with that

Is this for getting the HA states or for doing a jpeg stream?
haughty sparrow
For your "push" to the Pi
