| BLOOMIN8 E-Ink Canvas | Partly works | Next image button just refreshes current picture; not fixed in 1.7.0Saved copy… pics / playlists from the mobile app which work fine. HA shows current pic, but clicking "next image" does the refresh and stays on the same image. I think it also disrupts the playlist and stops the timed change.
