I would like to start using floorplans/maps with various device actions on them. This means I need locally stored images, that can be seen over the network.
I managed to upload images to HA, but as they need to be accessed with a token, I either need to refresh the token every day (no), or have an image with a long-lived token (also not a good idea).

How have other people done things?
Is it worth spinning up an http image host?
Or maybe throwing files into an nginx folder inside HA?

Thoughts on a postcard :)

    Gotta be contrarian here and say: using floorplans as your graphic frame for controls is very inefficient. And not very good graphical design.

      I can appreciate that!
      I do have standard layouts which are mostly big button to do a thing in the room.
      But I also fancied having by-floor layouts.

      And you’re right: The button I have that sets the kitchen spots on/off/dim as a group is 10x more useable than a scale representation of their location in the ceiling!
