Static image is not refetched correctly

See original GitHub issue

I currently using this card to show static camera image by default. Image does not refresh unless you reload browser page. I used before Generic Camera built-in integration. It updates static_image_url every 10 seconds. Maybe it’s possible to add same functionality for this card? Configuration could be something like this:

image:
  src: http://192.168.1.104:5000/api/camera/latest.jpg #latest snapshot URL from frigate
  refresh: true
  timeout: 10

How can I test changes? HACS does not allow to download main branch. Getting No content to download error. I think it’s because frigate-hass-card.js does not exist in directory.

EDIT: Never mind, didn’t see build instructions at the bottom of the page. But still would be nice to have a possibility to download it with HACS and without need to download required dependencies for building.

EDIT 2: Tested, now image refreshing every 10 seconds. Very nice work @dermotduffy

Multiple loops refreshing image. For example: Edit card in Lovelace, new image refresh loop spawns. I think there are also some situations where it spawns new loop without editing card.
