That would be awesome! @unixorn can you give me a hint how to start implementing?

Sorry it's taken so long to respond, I've had a hectic few weeks.

I don't currently have any cameras connected to my HA to do any testing.

After looking at the image.mqtt link upthread, I think adding payload_available, payload_not_available and url_topic topics to an object would do it, but I can't test.

RN I can't really do much in the way of implementing features I'm not using because my life's a bit hectic lately. I am happy to merge in new code - I make a point to check at least every weekend for PRs.

Thanks for this awesome lib! I've added camera, image and selection discovery in #264. I've tested it manually on my host machine, so I've not added any tests to this repo yet. Do you merge it also without the tests?

[unixorn]

I'd prefer tests but you can add them in another PR
