Home assistant add-on: Immich Frame
I maintain this and other Home Assistant add-ons in my free time: keeping up with upstream changes, HA changes, and testing on real hardware takes a lot of time (and some money). I use around 5-10 of my >110 addons so regularly I install test machines (and purchase some test services such as vpn) that I don't use myself to troubleshoot and improve the addons
If this add-on saves you time or makes your setup easier, I would be very grateful for your support!

About
Immich Frame displays your Immich gallery as a digital photo frame. Transform any screen into a beautiful, rotating display of your personal photos and memories stored in Immich.
This addon allows you to create a digital photo frame that connects to your Immich server and displays your photos in a slideshow format, perfect for repurposing old tablets or monitors as dedicated photo displays.
Configuration
Webui can be found at <your-ip>:8171.

Multi-Account Example
To display photos from multiple Immich accounts (e.g., you and your partner), use the Accounts list:
Accounts:
- ImmichServerUrl: "http://homeassistant:3001"
ApiKey: "api-key-for-user-1"
- ImmichServerUrl: "http://homeassistant:3001"
ApiKey: "api-key-for-user-2"
TZ: "Europe/London"
When using the Accounts list, the ApiKey and ImmichServerUrl top-level options are not needed. Images will be drawn from each account proportionally based on the total number of images present in each account.
For more configuration options, see the ImmichFrame documentation.
