TendrilGrow v0.3.0
Camera timelapse is here.
You can now automatically capture grow photos over time and build a timelapse video from them.
Quick Start (HACS Users)
- Update TendrilGrow to v0.3.0 in HACS.
- Restart Home Assistant.
- Open TendrilGrow options for your grow space.
- Turn on timelapse.
- Add this folder to homeassistant.allowlist_external_dirs:
- /config/www/tendrilgrow/<grow_slug>/timelapse/
- Press Capture Timelapse Frame once to test.
If capture works, scheduled captures will continue automatically.
