Use selenium to capture a screenshot of a home assistant dashboard, and then upload it as an Art Mode image to a Samsung Frame TV.

Many thanks to @NickWateron for https://github.com/NickWaterton/samsung-tv-ws-api

Requirements

You'll need go and docker to build

Building

Run

to build the Go selenium app and two docker containers you need

Configuration

Add a .env file in the root that looks like this:

FRAME_SCRAPER_URL=https://your.home.assistant.example
FRAME_SCRAPER_DASHBOARD_URL=lovelace/<my dashboard>?kiosk
FRAME_SCRAPER_USERNAME=<HA username>
FRAME_SCRAPER_PASSWORD=<HA password>
FRAME_IP=<The IP of you Frame TV>
TZ=America/Los_Angeles

Note that the ?kiosk in the dashboard url enables kiosk-mode if you have it installed. It's not required but it will make your dashboard render without the surrounding frame, which is probably what you want.

The Selenium browser's timezone will be whatever you specify in TZ, which may affect the rendering of some components.
