  • Hover effects — scale, rotate, fade, blur, brightness, glow, slide.
  • Border radius — uniform or per-corner from the Design tab.

Tap / hold / double-tap. Common patterns:

  • More-info on the entity image is showing.
  • URL to open a full-size version.

Examples

Profile picture from person entity

  • Source: entityperson.john

Weather radar with hover-zoom

  • Source: URL → e.g. National Weather Service radar tile
  • Hover effect: scale 1.1

Album art from media player

  • Source: attribute → entity media_player.living_room, attribute entity_picture
  • Tap: more-info

Tips

  • Cropping/cover positioning is determined by the source image's aspect ratio. Use scale-down if you don't want the image upscaled.
  • For album art with player controls, use Module-Media-Player instead — it handles refresh and progress for you.
  • For full-card backgrounds, prefer Module-Background (Free) or Module-Video-Background (Pro).
