When I started 2019 my DIY project building a raspberry powered digital picture frame I came across Wolfgang's website www.thedigitalpictureframe.com. I ran my frame with the pi3d PictureFrame2020.py viewer, but always missed a more deeply integration to my smart home server running Home Assistant.As my personel corona project I decided to rewrite the viewer to my needs. Hoping someone can make use of it.
