Here is one wayā¦Take a look at the debug command. Execute it anywhere but then go to the browser/device of interest and see what shows up.
I am fairly new to HA so when you say āexecute it anywhereā, that would probably be obvious to most HA users but I tried to use the Call Service function in Developer Tools like this:
http://imgur.com/a/A671pnU but nothng showed up.
To clarify, I was trying to answer your last question.
Try the debug command without a deviceID
If you mean, do what I did above (see image), without any data, That too does nothing.
I have finally gotten browser_mod to work, at least in so far as seeing the device in the Developer Tools states list and being able to control it. I can see the browser (Chrome) that I am logged in with on the MacMini running HA. However, from IOS devices (iPhone or iPad) I cannot seem to play a sound using the media_player when the browser is logged in to HA, only when I use the ios HA app. Is this the expected behavior?
This is an old query but no one ever answered you and I was working on this so hereās what I worked out. I was trying to use last_seen but because itās an attribute of the sensor created by browser mod it becomes unavailable as soon as my iPad kiosk sleeps and the related template becomes invalid. last_updated, however, is still accessible when the sensor is unavailable.
Sensor:
- platform: template
scan_interval: 10
sensors:
kiosk_last_updated:
friendly_name: "seconds ago kiosk was last updated"
value_template: "{{ (as_timestamp(now()) - as_timestamp(states.sensor.bm_ca_kiosk_ipp.last_updated)) | int() }}"
unit_of_measurement: 'sec'
Automation:
- id: 'id 30.2'
alias: "kiosk revert to home"
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.hue_motion_sensor_2_motion
to: "on"
condition:
condition: and
conditions:
- condition: template
value_template: |
{{ states("sensor.kiosk_last_updated") | int() > 300 }}
- condition: or
conditions:
- condition: time
after: '17:00:00'
before: '09:25:00'
weekday:
- mon
- tue
- wed
- thu
- fri
- condition: time
weekday:
- sat
- sun
action:
- delay: "00:00:02"
- service: browser_mod.navigate
data:
navigation_path: /kiosk-yaml/0
deviceID:
- 67796da9-c098a881
- bm_ca_kiosk_ipp
I have the time conditions in there because during market hours a second automation sends the kiosk to my stocks page. As a PSA, Iām using this brilliant trick to wake the iPad into guided access mode based on a Hue motion sensor (which I donāt think browser mod can do).

Does browser_mod work with the IOS companion app or only the browser app? Also, does the iphone need to be unlocked with screen on and ios app having focus for a sound to be played?
Hello,
I have google speakers around house on which I can cast internet radio stations via URL and they all play without any issues.
When looking for a solution how to play this radios inside the home assistant tab in browser I found this addon. When trying to play online radio station from url (http://nrj.de/rock) to media_player.alias_id nothing is beeing played, but under states it says it is playing.
I can see an error under browser console:
Playing such streams is not possible or I am doing something wrong?
Thank you.

Hi, Most possible a simple answer, however I have been looking through this thread and can not finde anything, and I can not get it to work form the documentation.
I use the browser_mod.more-info with this code, and it works perfectly for me. The reason for the entiti_id is beeing part of a declutteringcard. Works perfectly.
However, it opens on all browsers, and I would like it to only open on active screen where the tap_action is started.
I have looked all over, however not able to figure it out. There is a lot of examples like this, however not working for me. Anyone have a good working example
@doktordoc : Iāve done exactly like bearder tinker on that video. Doesnāt work on browsers. Works on tablets, and i guess that it works on add-on speakers, too. But not in browser (on PCās soundcard).
Iāve tried so many combinations and changes, my head has exploded. Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?

HI All,
IS there a way to config the browser_mod integration to stop register new browsers?
I have 2 in useā¦ (FKB and my iMac) on my work IP address is changing all the time so I get many new entities. I will stop this. I tried disable āEnable newly added entitiesā but didnāt work.
Ya, I facing this too. I cannot get the popup work. Hope some one can find out.
From what I know you have to have a title line. Yours is commented out. Here is how mine looks,
tap_action:
action: fire-dom-event
browser_mod:
command: popup
title: []
card:
type: "custom:vertical-stack-in-card"

Yes, same here.
tap_action:
action: fire-dom-event
browser_mod:
command: popup

Thanks, looks like you are right and the title is required. Thank you!
Just double-checked again. In both cases
tap_action:
action: fire-dom-event
browser_mod:
command: call-service
service: browser_mod.popup
service_data:
deviceID: this
title: Wecker
card:
type: entities
tap_action:
action: fire-dom-event
browser_mod:
command: popup
title: Wecker
card:
type: entities
you are right and it is only working with title here as well.
I have a question regarding browser_mod integration because Iām facing out an annoying situation.
Each time I reset my browser cache with cookies (which often happens with Home Assistant troubleshooting 
), it creates a new device when I log back with the same browser.
After a time, I get a huge list of unavailable devices.
in the above screenshot, I have 12 devices (cache cleared two days ago, Iast time I got until >50 devices), while only 3 browsers still exist.
I can remove manually the entities from the āentities panelā, but I donāt find a way to remove devices easily.
How do people deal with that? By my side, the only solution I found for the moment is to delete the integration and re-add it.
Thanks for your feedback.
