Slideshow View

The Slideshow view provides a full-screen image display designed for photo stream and album integrations. It features native View Assist hold/resume controls, an on-demand photo metadata badge, and quick menu bar integration.

Album Slideshow Compatibility

This view and its associated automations were specifically designed to pair with the Album Slideshow custom integration (available via HACS). However, it is also compatible with other Home Assistant camera source slideshows.


Features​

  • Clean Fullscreen Presentation: Displays the current image from the View Assist satellite's background attribute with no obstructing elements.
  • Native Hold / Resume: Single tap on screen engages mode: hold to freeze the view indefinitely; double tap or tapping the native Hold icon returns to mode: normal.
  • Photo Metadata Overlay: Swiping up (or setting show_details: true) shows an elegant frosted-glass overlay with the capture date and location.

Prerequisites​

  • View Assist integration and dashboard.
  • Album Slideshow (recommended, available via HACS) or any camera entity providing image streams.

Installation​

Add the view to your View Assist dashboard (path: slideshow):
