I have some repository concerns seeing megabytes of images, but will need help from @openhab/add-ons-maintainers and/or @openhab/documentation-maintainers regarding guidelines/recommended practices here.

Ping @openhab/add-ons-maintainers - still >1 MB of images, do we have any policies on this? If all bindings did this, it would be 1/2 GB of data in the repository + additional changes over time when updating images.

@weymann - while waiting for some opinions and/or guidelines, consider if you can reduce number and/or size of pictures further. Some might be replaceable by textual descriptions?

Compressed pictures to ~400 KB. I want to keep them to guide the users through the very strict first setup described in readme

@weymann - in case you missed it, if you create a PR towards openhab/openhab-docs like described in https://www.openhab.org/docs/developer/bindings/#add-your-binding-s-logo-to-the-openhab-website, the logo will be displayed with your binding in the list of bindings and on the documentation page - see for example: https://next.openhab.org/addons/
