Here is how I've setup my MQTT payload from BirdNET-Pi Settings:

code block to our HomeAssistant configuration file. To be clear, you _do not_ need to add the Wikipedia and Flickr sensors to
HA's configuration file!
## Adding the Camera entity
Last but not least, we need to add a camera entity to ensure that the `sensor.birdpic` can actually be rendered visually.
It's really easy to add this sensor, so this should be quick. Here's how:
1. In HomeAssistant, navigate to Settings > Devices & Services > Integrations
2. Click "+ Add Integration" in the bottom right-hand corner. Alternatively, if you already have a camera integration
enabled, look for the "Generic Camera" card and click "Add Entry"
3. Name the sensor. In this case, I called it "BirdPicturesfromFlickr" and renamed the entity to `camera.birdnet_flickr`.
4. You should now see a "Still Image URL" as the first of a few options on the screen. Enter the following into the still
image field: `{{ state_attr('sensor.birdpic', 'image') }}` (This is the sensor we created in AppDaemon with the flickr url
as the attribute).
5. Stream Source and RTSP transport protocol can both be left blank.
6. Authentication - select "digest".
7. Username and Password can be left blank.
8. Frame Rate - 2
9. Leave the rest of the check boxes unchecked and click Submit
When you now click on the entity, you should see an image!

By this point, you should have successfully created 7 new sensors in HomeAssistant. In Part 2 of this article, we'll take a
look at Home Assistant, see what these sensors look like, and create a rudimentary dashboard.

This dashboard is pretty simple, it brings in almost all of the sensors
we created in the first post and organizes them in an as-pleasant-as-possible view. I'm definitely not a designer, so some of
the colors could be worked on...
