🔹 Browser_mod - turn your browser into a controllable device, and a media_player

There’s one for each device that connects.

Great mod. I would like to know if it is possible to detect when a user close a popup. I want to include it as an automation, i.e. when a user close a popup it will write an entry to the database. Is it possible?

Tried messing around with popup-styling and if the resolution is below a certain amount it overrides the width parameter and shows a full width dialog. Is it possible to override this in browser_mod or is it a core function of Lovelace?

Made a git issue with examples:

Forgive the noob question but I was wanting to do a proper screen turn off with browser_mod, so I tried doing a light.7d8234b8_a8284fe5 light.turn_off service call and it doesn’t seem to have any effect. Should it? Otherwise I can just use the REST API.
Thanks!!

thomasloven · February 25, 2020, 10:52am

For FKB it should do the same thing as the rest api call, provided you’ve enabled the right options.

thomasloven · February 25, 2020, 10:53am

That’s a feature of Lovelace itself.

thomasloven · February 25, 2020, 10:53am

There’s no way to see if a popup is open for now.

Am I correct that the popup only works on my computer is its on the home assistant browser page. Like I would want the popup to show if Im using my computer for other work?

thomasloven · February 25, 2020, 7:22pm

Then you’d need some other piece of notification software, I guess.

would it be possible to have the current user displayed in the frontend without explicitly having to point to the sensors the browser-mod creates?

I’d like something like

{{device_id.attributes.current_user}} to be able to do a simple thing like:

  - type: markdown
    content: >
      {%- set time = states('sensor.time') -%}
      ## {{time}} - Good
      {%- if '00:00' < time < '06:00' %} Night
      {%- elif '06:00' < time < '12:00' %} Morning
      {%- elif '12:00' < time < '18:00' %} Afternoon
      {%- else %} Evening
      {% endif %} {{device_id.attributes.current_user}}

I know this isn’t valid, but I hope it will convey what I am looking for.

I have set the names on the ids in the browser-mod devices, so have both the sensor for the name, as for the device-id, for the various logged in user/browser combination.

But this doesn’t really help. Would have hoped that since the browser knows its browser id (as displayed under the media_player, this (the sensor attributes listed here) could be used in the global HA instance.

thanks for having a look

You can with markdown-mod https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-markdown-mod, I think.
It says all functionality is built in to home assistant, but that’s not entirely true…

I won’t officially support that anymore, though.

Mariusthvdb · February 27, 2020, 10:12am

aah ok, will have a look back to that. thanks.

so, just to be sure, we can’t pull these values with global HA templating (which of course is the basis for the same templating in Markdown)

if the answer is yes, we can not, would this be a viable feature request to add that functionality to browser-mod?

edit

installing markdown-mod wasn’t such a good idea so it seems, it kills all other markdown cards…

even the ones without any alteration…

the feature request remains I fear

thomasloven · February 27, 2020, 10:46am

I’ll see if it can be added to either browser_mod or card-mod.

Mariusthvdb · February 27, 2020, 10:57am

yes!, thank you very much indeed sir. Much appreciated, this would open up a whole new world of nice templates. Imagine being able to notify with this. Cool!
Would need it to be browser-mod for that to happen I think…

Hi Thomas,

Since upgrading to 106 I receive the following error when using browser_mod to open mini-graph-card via tap action.

I have some other popup cards defined in views and they work fine. I found mention of a preloader and implemented that but to no avail. Affected code below:

Thanks in advance and appreciate all of your hard work.

VDRainer · February 27, 2020, 1:25pm

Cool! (sorry, but now i know i’m not alone)

The preloader was a temporay fix for a change in 0.106 beta. This PR was reverted until 0.107, so not needed until that.

afxefx · February 27, 2020, 1:49pm

No worries lol. I had saw your issue on GH but I hadn’t seen that the PR relating to the preloader had been delayed so I shall remove that for now since it isn’t serving any purpose.

deluxestyle · February 29, 2020, 6:40pm

Since the update to 0.106.2 my pop_up service is not working anymore.

 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot assign to read only property 'deviceID' of object '#<Object>'

anyone a solution for that?

shauder · February 29, 2020, 10:40pm

Is it possible to style the nested elements of the popup before the card thats being used in the popup? I am talking about the scrollable div and blank div.

Capture

I know you can style the popup div itself but cannot figure these out.

Oligarch · March 1, 2020, 6:02pm

same error:
ERROR (MainThread) [frontend.js.latest.202002204] https://ha-s.duckdns.org/browser_mod.js:60:314 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot assign to read only property 'deviceID' of object '#<Object>'

"DeviceID": this does not work after update
