I have a frigate-card that is displaying live video for my baby's room. I was wondering if there was a way to put in the bottom corner of the video the temperature in the room (sensor is in HA) as well she has a smart heater in her room that is in HA and I would like to put a red dot over the video if it's on. This way the video feed is the most important thing and takes up all the space!
#Temp over frigate video card?

Just wanted to chime in right quick. I saw your message the other day and had started to work on a solution for you but ran into a couple of snags that I'm trying to work out.
I'm trying to use the custom:button-card with the frigate card embedded in it. That works fine and i can get the temperature to work. The red dot is giving me problems. I kind of had it working but it doesn't update properly. Trying to embed another card to handle the dot is weird because it is like the frigate card "sees" the other card and puts and border around it which looks ugly. No amount of styling or card_mod allows me to get rid of it.
Instead of a red dot over the frigate card, how would you feel about the border of the whole card turning red when the heater is on?

I actully figured it out I ended up using a custom card called "Minimalistic Area Card" Can be installed form teh HACS I then used the following configuration
type: custom:minimalistic-area-card
title: Ripley's Room
area: baby_s_room
hide_unavailable: false
camera_image: camera.ripleys_room
camera_view: live
state_color: true
shadow: true
tap_action:
action: navigate
navigation_path: /config/areas/area/baby_s_room
entities:
- sensor.ripley_temp_sensor_temperature
- sensor.ripley_temp_sensor_humidity
- climate.ripley_s_room
This allowed me to set the live camera feed as the background for the card and then I added the entities that I needed and they show over the card.
Also the red border option is a great idea that I will implement to this card!
Its not perfect as the size of your screen can change where your icons and text goes but for now its close enough for my Wifes needs on the Baby monitor.
