In a lot of ways, Home Assistant is why this project exists! Since Mealie has a robust API it makes it a great fit for interacting with Home Assistant and pulling information into your dashboard.

### Get Todays Meal in Lovelace
|
||
Starting in v0.4.1 you are now able to use the uri `/api/meal-plans/today/image?group_name=Home` to directly access the image to todays meal. This makes it incredibly easy to include the image into your Home Assistant Dashboard using the picture entity.
|
||
|
||
Here's an example where `sensor.mealie_todays_meal` is pulling in the meal-plan name and I'm using the url to get the image.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
type: picture-entity
|
||
entity: sensor.mealie_todays_meal
|
||
name: Dinner Tonight
|
||
show_state: true
|
||
show_name: true
|
||
image: 'http://localhost:9000/api/meal-plans/today/image?group_name=Home'
|
||
style:
|
||
.: |
|
||
ha-card {
|
||
max-height: 300px !important;
|
||
overflow: hidden;
|
||
display: flex;
|
||
align-items: center;
|
||
justify-content: center;
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The sensor that gets the name of the meal can be achieved using the following REST sensor in Home Assistant
|
||
```yaml
|
||
sensor:
|
||
- platform: rest
|
||
resource: 'http://localhost:9000/api/meal-plans/today'
|
||
method: GET
|
||
name: Mealie todays meal
|
||
headers:
|
||
Authorization: Bearer MySuperSecretBearerCode
|
||
value_template: "{{ value_json.name }}"
|
||
```
|
||
The Bearer token can be created from the User Settings page (https://hay-kot.github.io/mealie/documentation/users-groups/user-settings/#api-key-generation)
|
||

|
||
!!! tip
|
||
Due to how Home Assistant works with images, I had to include the additional styling to get the images to not appear distorted. This includes and [additional installation](https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-card-mod) from HACS.
