About

Display Tools is an integration that supplies Home Assistant translations and media player cover art to ESPHome devices. It adds actions that return all translations for a language, or only those for a chosen category and optional keys. A separate action for ESPHome updates a sensor with the translations so a device can read them, and another action does the same for weather forecasts. For media players, an action downloads and processes the cover image, and the README says the result is a decoded JPEG. It detects the image URL automatically, or uses a base URL that can optionally be entered in the setup or options. It works locally and is set up in the UI.

From the README

This integration allows you to receive all translations of the Home Assistant backend with a separate service for optimization for ESPHome, and also allows you to receive already decoded cover art for the media player in jpeg format.
