Access to the more-info details as an action?

Configuration Frontend

With the move of entity details out from the more-info dialog a couple of releases ago to under the details menu option on that dialog, is there any way to have a tap action that opens up directly to that?

I have a bunch of badges that I used to just click on and get access to all the attribute / details data of them but now it’s an extra click and it’s seriously annoying. I would like to just update the tap action to pop the details page of the more-info dialog. Is this even possible now?

There’s a “more-info-card” in HACS, but I don’t know if it will work from a badge.

That doesn’t look like it’s going to do what I want. From the looks of it, it just make the more-info pop-up available as a lovelace card which isn’t what I want. I want the details popup that is on the triple-dot menu of the more-info card.

It is possible - but not sure you will like it, very cumbersome:

  1. Create a sub view containing one card.
  2. This card should be an Entities card filled by a custom auto-entities card - a list of attributes of an entity_id passed as an input attribute in some dedicated “input text” entity.
  3. So, you need to do 2 actions one by one - set the “input text” by an entity_id and then navigate to the sub view.

Alternatively (untested and thus not thoroughly thought) - call a popup with browser_mod, this popup must show same card.

That’s just… I’m not even certain I have words to describe how I feel about that.

Very cumbersome as I said, requires custom cards, so - perhaps easier to get used to:

My thanks to @dcapslock the following example code got me to what I needed:

Pre-req: browser-mod needs to be installed and configured, the browser does not need to be registered.

show_name: true
show_icon: true
type: button
name: More Info Details
entity: light.bed_light
tap_action:
  action: fire-dom-event
  browser_mod:
    service: browser_mod.more_info
    data:
      large: false
      entity: light.bed_light
      view: details
