Add PTT Zello button to lovelace on Android?

Configuration Frontend
1

I have some android devices around the house being used as wall switches, which are always on and would like to add some push to talk buttons for Zello to the lovelace dashboards on said devices. This way, I could create a channel on Zello and add all of the devices in the house so we could run the app in the background at all times and have an intercom system.

In this page from Zello, they show the commands that should be used, but I have no idea if it’s even possible to use this type of “intent” command in a lovelace button.

I’m relatively new to home assistant and would really appreciate if anyone would tell me whether this is possible, or any information that could point me in the right direction.

Good day, and sorry for my English. I had the same concern and maybe it will be useful to someone, while researching I found the following pages:

They helped me generate the “intents” to make calls from Android through Zello, replace with your device in “action”

To make the call:

action: notify.mobile_app_yourdevice
data:
  message: command_broadcast_intent
  data:
    intent_package_name: com.loudtalks
    intent_action: com.zello.ptt.down

To end the call:

action: notify.mobile_app_yourdevice
data:
  message: command_broadcast_intent
  data:
    intent_package_name: com.loudtalks
    intent_action: com.zello.ptt.up

I hope this helps someone, best regards!
