I try to use deviceID: ā{{ deviceID }}ā but it doesnāt work.
mod-card in itself is not bad, but to use it where it is not required adds more problems than it solves.
As a bad example (DO NOT DO THIS), I see lots of:
type: custom:mod-card
# AGAIN, THIS IS A BAD EXAMPLE
style: |
ha-card {
--primary-color: red;
# add various workarounds and hoop-jumping caused by unnecessarily using mod-card here
}
card:
type: entities
entities:
...
that should have been
type: entities
style: |
ha-card {
--primary-color: red;
}
entities:
...
Your example is actually a good one, using mod-card there makes sense, but using stack-in-card is also a great method which I assume makes your configuration easier too.
You could also use state-switch to avoid the jinja template processing and increase performance a tad.
Can you tell me please, is it possible to store ādeviceIDā value as input_text?
Thanks, yes I looked at state-switch a while ago but I donāt think I managed to get it to display no card at all, if i remember rightly it was ādisplay one card OR anotherā.
But Iāll take another look.
I have no idea what you mean or what you wish to accomplish.
I am trying to call pop up window when I am disarming Template Alarm Control Panel.
My panel code:

arm_away:
service: alarm_control_panel.alarm_arm_away
data:
entity_id: alarm_control_panel.perimetr
disarm:
- service: script.entrance_panel_button_perimetr_disarm
data_template:
deviceID:
- this
and script:
entrance_panel_button_perimetr_disarm:
sequence:
- service: browser_mod.popup
data_template:
deviceID: "{{ deviceID }}"
title: "Keyboard"
large: false
card:

Browser_mod will inject the deviceID in any call-service action from the frontend where it finds deviceID: this.
If you cannot call a service or cannon change its data, then thereās no way for the backend to know which device the action originated from, unfortunately.
I added the code to the previous post. Can you check it please?
I am having problems with browser_mod not seeing my fire 8 tablet while using fully kiosk browser. It will detect the tablet id if I use Chrome browser on the fire 8 tablet, but for some reason I canāt get it to create any id while using fully. The version of Fully I am using is 1.38 Fire. I donāt know if there is settings inside Fully that is preventing browser_mod from working or not. Have tried restarting HA several times, cleared cache, tried local address of HA and duckdns address. I can get browser mod to see my phone and desktop pc and use light and media player on those. Any help would be much appreciated.
That wonāt work, unfortunately, because the disarm service call is run from the backend.
I donāt know of any way to accomplish what you are trying to do. Sorry.
Do you have the paid PRO version?
That shouldnāt be a requirement for some functionality. Just trying to find out what could be wrong.
hi,
I updated last night to 0.108.9 and have the last version of browser-mod installed. The following code works occasionally. Sometimes the popup works great and get my alarm control panel and sometimes i get the error below. I have the same problem on all my devices and in the android app. What I realize is when i reset the cache from the browser the plugin works again but after a while I have the problem reappears.
What my be the solution for this?
home_popup:
sequence:
- service: browser_mod.popup
data_template:
deviceID: '{{ deviceID }}'
title: Set Alarm to home
card:
type: alarm-panel
states:
- arm_night
- arm_away
entity: alarm_control_panel.alarm
name: Alarm
Currently I do not have the paid Pro version of Fully, I will look to see if I can find what all I need in the paid version to accomplish the media player to work with the Fire 8 tablet and then purchase the license for those items. Thanks again
I might also reset my fire tablet, maybe there is some setting in the fire os that is stopping this from working.
Hi Thomas,
as of late I have encountered my iPhone browser_mod Id changed, quite a few times I must admit. No first world problem, but still, relying on messaging to my phone, Ive found myself investigating the notifying setup, while in the end I had to conclude the id had changed againā¦
Only way out of that is editing the section in configuration.yaml, and do a restart. (at least as far as I know)
wouldnāt it be possible to add a service browser_mod.reload of sorts, so we can edit the config file, click reload and be done with it?
would be a stop-gap, but still, it would make it somewhat easier to manage.
thanks for having a look!
Good job!
Iām having a problem with browser_mod.popup!
I basically created 3 dashboards. One for the 10-inch tablet, one for the 7-inch tablet and one for the smartphone.
All three have the browser_mod.popup for certain entities.
And I see them like this:
This is for both the 7-inch tablet and the 10-inch tablet:
This is the smartphone:
Why donāt I see it like this?
The last photo I managed to get it through google chrome with the inspection (key F12)!
This is the code where I inserted the popup:
- entity: alarm_control_panel.home_alarm
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: browser_mod.popup
service_data:
card:
entity: alarm_control_panel.home_alarm
name: Allarme
states:
- arm_home
- arm_away
type: alarm-panel
deviceID:
- this
style:
'--ha-card-border-radius': 0vw 0vw 0.8vw 0.8vw
border-radius: 0.8vw
opacity: 0.9
title: ALLARME
icon: 'mdi:security'
type: state-icon
Even if I change - this with the deviceID it doesnāt solve!
In the configuration.yaml I have this:
browser_mod:
devices::
9xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx3:
name: PC_Desktop
6xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx1:
name: tablet_lenovo
4xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxc:
name: Tablet
bxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxc:
name: Smartphone
Why do I see it like this?
Thanks so much
The popups use the more-info dialog. On devices where that is displayed at full screen width, the popup will be too.
Thanks so much for the quick reply!
But I did not understand, what do I have to correct to get the result of the photo on the devices?
Thanks
Thanks for a great plugin @thomasloven!
I am using browser_mod to play a doorbell sound and pop up a live video feed of my Doorbird intercom on 4 control tablets scattered throughout the house .
Thereās a small problem with the doorbell MP3 though. It plays on doorbell trigger with no issues. However, next time I touch the tablet (could be 30 minutes later), it plays the doorbell ring again! Happens consistently on 4 devices, each with the same config, everytime.
HA is running browser_mod in Fully Kiosk on Lenovo tablets. Hereās the core doorbell script. TIA!
