Collection image for Home Assistant (built-in integration)

About

Collection image is a built-in integration that exposes images from a chosen media location as an image entity. It works locally and is set up in the user interface by picking the media where the images are retrieved from. Actions change which image the entity shows: first, last, next, previous, or a specific selected image. A shuffle action switches the entity to a random image from the configured media. The connection settings can be changed later without removing the integration.
