I tested it, unfortunately it didnā€™t work.
Maybe itā€™s because of the pop-up card I use.

Hi, since the HA 2023.11 update I have problems with pop-up windows. they no longer work on tap. the problem occurs only on Android/iPhone mobile devicesā€¦but not all. is this happening to others?

Iā€™ve been using browser_mod to allow colleagues to view a dashboard and Iā€™d like to count how many are connected at any time eg now or in the last 24hrs. Iā€™ve created a remote access web address using my Nabu Casa account and allowing anyone coming in to logon with a common username & password. Browser_mod directs them to the right dashboard & hides the sidebar, my web redirect stops them from navigating manually to anywhere else. So far so good, theyā€™re all happy & so far havenā€™t caused any problems by straying from the single dashboard they get access to,
A large number of browser IDs have been created (77 so far) and Iā€™ve got a template sensor that should monitor who is currently browsing. The trouble is that it doesnā€™t quite work. It gets some device/browser combinations but not most of them. With the various phones & PCā€™s Iā€™ve got I can see that 1 or 2 show up as users most of the time, others just sometimes and one never does. This is what Iā€™m doing:

{%- set devices = states | map(attribute='entity_id') | map('device_id') | unique | reject('eq',None) | list %}
{%- set ns = namespace(entities = []) %}
{%- for device in devices %}
  {%- set ids = device_attr(device, 'identifiers') | list | first | default %}
  {%- if ids[0] == 'browser_mod' %}
    {%- if states('sensor.'~ids[1]|lower~'_browser_user') not in ['unknown','unavailable'] %}
      {%- set ns.entities = ns.entities + [ids[1]] %}
     {%- endif %} 
  {%- endif %}
{%- endfor %}
{{ ns.entities |count }} browsers, being {{ ns.entities }}


          {%- set devices = states | map(attribute='entity_id') | map('device_id') | unique | reject('eq',None) | list %}
          {%- set ns = namespace(entities = []) %}
          {%- for device in devices %}
            {%- set ids = device_attr(device, 'identifiers') | list | first | default %}
            {%- if ids[0] == 'browser_mod' %}
              {%- if states('sensor.'~ids[1]|lower~'_browser_user') not in ['unknown','unavailable']  %}
                {%- set ns.entities = ns.entities + [states('sensor.'~ids[1]|lower~'_browser_user')] %}
              {%- endif %} 
            {%- endif %}
          {%- endfor %}
          {%- set allusers = ns.entities|list %}
          {%- set users = ns.entities|unique|list %}
          {%- set ns = namespace(names = '') %}
          {%- for name in users %}
            {%- set ns.names = ns.names ~ name~' = '~allusers|select('eq',name)|list|count~', ' %}
          {%- endfor %}
          {{ns.names}}

and right now I get

1 browsers, being ['DJI_laptop_chrome']
          David Inwood = 1,

despite 4 devices being connected.
Is this fixable and how can I get delete some devices that are no longer used? Hitting the dustbin in the browser_mod sidebar just hides them - they still exist in the devices list.

Does anyone else have the same problem with popup windows on mobile devices?

Ive been reading through some old closed github issues about Browser mod devices becoming unavailable in HA after 5 minutes. This is the nearest I can find to my issue. My microsoft surface pro running Edge browser in kiosk mode on Windows 10. All Windows power saving settings disabled, but the device keeps becoming unavailable, but only after several hours. I read about a workaround of playing a silent audio file on the Browser mod media player entity, to keep it ā€˜aliveā€™ but couldnt see how to do this. Has anyone here had any similar issues and managed to resolve them?

Iā€™ve tried re-registering the device in browser mod but this made no difference. Also created a long-lived access token for the device, but again, no difference.

If I use browser_mod to browse to a webpage but want the page to scroll up a little to display content a little further down the page is there a way to do this?

Thanks

Hey there,

We just had a baby so Iā€™ve been using baby buddy for tracking feeding and diaper changes. Iā€™ve got a drop down helper and an automation to control what information should be input into baby buddy based on the dropdown helper.

Iā€™ve been struggling getting the browser popup to control which dropdown selection to make. I tried to use the code from the installation page for the vacuum as an example, but Iā€™m stuck now. Anyone able to help on how I can get this to work?

I know there are other methods that I can do this, but I like the way this looks and so does my wife, so Iā€™m trying to get this way to work.

Thanks!

Iā€™m trying to reference selector results in a child popup. I canā€™t figure out the syntax for either javascript or jinja to do so. (See the right_button_action below).

I would expect the value to be returned in rainchart, but all the {{ }} items are empty and I canā€™t figure out a javascript solution.

The documentation states that:
If a ha-form schema is used for content the resulting data will be inserted into the data for any _action.
I just canā€™t figure out how. Thanks

Does anybody know how to get rid of old entries?

I removed in the browser mod menu extension all, except the one I still need.

But inside the integration I still have 27.

Thanks.

May I ask, is anyone else getting the entities going unavailable constantly?

The only way to get it to work again is to end the companion app on my tablet and restart the app.

Itā€™s getting very tedious and makes using this mod mostly unusable.

Iā€™m running it on a Google Pixel Slate.

What sort of information do you need to help diagnose the issue? Please be nice as Iā€™m fairly new to this and I may need a few pointers to begin with.

Thanks :+1:t2:

Have you checked the ā€œautomatically close connectionsā€ setting? I canā€™t remember were that function was but I did have to change that setting on my Ubuntu dashboard running browser mod.

Iā€™ve always just used this to get the popups, when 2.0 came I just started using conditional cards more. Now I want them again so I installed it and got popups working except now I canā€™t get my default dashboard to stick. On mobile companion app it always opens the overview dash. Can I fix this?

Hello, i read several messages in several topics but didā€™t find how to add a cistom background (a picture) in in popup window created with browser-mod.
Everything i tried didnā€™t wokred.
Can someone help me, please ?
