Experiment to show album cover from home assistant media player on M5Stack dial and core2 displays (ESP32)

1. This project requires https://github.com/imgproxy/imgproxy to resize the image from home assistant and convert from .png to .jpg.

   To create an imgproxy docker container, listening on port 8088:

   ```

   sudo docker run -d \

     --name=imgproxy \

     -p 8088:8080  \

     --restart unless-stopped \

     darthsim/imgproxy

   ```

  

2. This project requires an MQTT broker, like the Mosquitto broker add-on in Home Assistant.

3. This project requires Home Assistant, to create an MQTT topic, for the media player entity_picture.

   One way to do that, is to use the mqtt_statestream integration:

   https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mqtt_statestream/

   ```

   mqtt_statestream:

     base_topic: hass

     publish_attributes: true

     publish_timestamps: true

     exclude:

       entity_globs:

       - device_tracker.*

       - ......

   ```

The 8.8 inch touch screen, in above picture, is connected to a raspberry pi and can show Home Assistant dashboards.
