Camera Gallery Card v2.3.0
Camera Gallery Card Release v84
What's New
New Feature: State Export to Text Helper
Current Filename Tracking: The card can now write the filename of the currently selected image directly to a Home Assistant input_text helper. This allows you to easily use the current image filename anywhere in Home Assistant (such as in other cards, template sensors, or automations) by simply using {{ states('input_text.your_helper') }}.
Layout & UI Enhancements
Redesigned Live Controls: The live controls bar has received a layout refresh for a cleaner and more intuitive look.
English UI: All built-in user interface texts have been fully translated into English.
Improved "Pill" Discoverability: Added a fade-out timer for UI pills. Pills now remain visible for 10 seconds when you first open the card, ensuring users are aware of their functionality before they automatically hide.
Date/Time Detection Full Overview
Automatic (Zero Configuration)
The card runs through the following parsers in order. No manual configuration is required for these formats.
1. Folder Name = Date, Filename = Time (Auto-Detect)
| Folder Name Format | Example |
|---|---|
| YYYY-MM-DD / YYYY.MM.DD / YYYY_MM_DD | 2024-03-15 |
| DD-MM-YYYY / DD.MM.YYYY / DD_MM_YYYY | 15-03-2024 |
| YYYYMMDD | 20240315 |
| DDMM (4 digits, European first) | 1503 |
| MMDD (4 digits, fallback) | 0315 |
The filename can optionally contain a time:
| Filename Format | Example |
|---|---|
| HH:MM:SS (with prefix/suffix) | cam_14:30:00 |
| HH-MM-SS (with prefix/suffix) | cam_14-30-00 |
| HH_MM_SS (with prefix/suffix) | cam_14_30_00 |
| HHMMSS (exact 6 digits only) | 143000 |
2. All-in-One Filenames
| Format | Example |
|---|---|
| YYYY-MM-DD + separator + HH:MM:SS / HH-MM-SS / HH.MM.SS | 2024-03-15_14-30-00.jpg |
| YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS or YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS | 20240315_143000.jpg |
| /YYYYMMDD/HHMMSS. (path structure) | .../20240315/143000.jpg |
| Unix timestamp (9-11 digits) | 1710506400.jpg |
| Reolink media-source://reolink/...|YYYYMMDDHHMMSS | Custom parser applied |
Manual Configuration (For Custom Formats)
If your camera uses a format not listed above, you can define it using folder_datetime_format and/or filename_datetime_format in the card editor.
Supported Tokens:
| Token | Meaning |
|---|---|
| YYYY | 4-digit year |
| YY | 2-digit year (2000+) |
| MM | Month |
| DD | Day |
| HH | Hour |
| mm | Minute |
| ss | Second |
Note: Anything outside the tokens is matched literally. For example, the format
cam_{YYYY}{MM}{DD}will perfectly match a file namedcam_20240315.
