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

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
```
This project requires an MQTT broker, like the Mosquitto broker add-on in Home Assistant.
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. More information can be found here:
