Just released Browser_mod 1.1.6 allows you to set your deviceID manually!
I have a lovelace view that calls a popup window via the reuseable browser_mod popup card that in turn also calls a browser_mod popup card via a script. This was working correctly in the prior version of browser_mod and HA 0.112 however in the latest version of 0.113 and browser_mod 1.1.6 I canât get the popup window to show via the script. The initial reusable popup window appears but trying to trigger the popup window via the script is not doing anything. When looking at the cookbook examples it seems the config may have slightly changed but even with making this change to my config the popup window via the script isnât working. Here is what my config looks like.
Config to trigger reusable popup card <- this is working
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: browser_mod.popup
service_data:
deviceID: this
<<: *monitoredplug_card
Config to trigger popup via script (this is based on the cookbook example) This is called from the reusable popup card. <- this is not working
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: script.sonoffwasher_popup
service_data:
deviceID:
- this
This was my prior config to call a popup via a script that worked in 0.112 but is not working in 0.113 (again this is what I was using in the reusable popup card to call another popup card via a script.
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: script.turn_on
service_data:
entity_id: script.sonoffwasher_popup
Is the ability to call a popup via a script from within a reusable popup card no longer doable or is my config incorrect now with the version 1.1.6?
Just wondering - auto-closing (after a delay) of a more-info box isnât working for me, should it ?
- service: browser_mod.command
data:
command: more-info
entity_id: camera.caller
large: true
deviceID:
- 7d823333-a8333fe5
- delay: '00:01:00'
- service: browser_mod.close_popup
At the moment browser_mod.popup is displaying correctly in Safari on MacOS (ie. center of browser window) like this:
When loaded through the mobile app on iOS, the popup shows as below
Anyone know how to fix this?
How do I remove the state text? It is of âtype: custom:mini-media-playerâ that I have in a browser_mod.popup.
If itâs mini-media-player, itâs its problem, not browser mod.
On mobile, all popups are displayed in full screen. Youâd need to center the buttons in the popup window somehow - itâs clear they are not exactly centered in the computer screenshot either.
Below are 3 renderings:
- Left is right on the view.yaml
- Middle is via a browser_mod.popup
- Right is via a browser_mod.popup and lovelace_gen macro
Left - observe that âOffâ does not show under the âNook Speakerâ media player.
Middle - again, observe that âOffâ does not show under the âNook Speakerâ media player.
Right - now, observe that âOffâ shows under the âNook Speakerâ media player.
How do I remove the state text? I tried the media_player idle_view options but no luck.
I will post in lovelace_gen.
Just noticed this isnât working anymore
radio_navigate:
alias: 'radio navigation'
sequence:
- service: mqtt.publish
data_template:
topic: "bbcrequest"
retain: false
payload: ''
- service: browser_mod.navigate
data:
navigation_path: /lovelace/radio/
deviceID:
- 7d8234b8-a8284fe5
is this because a breaking change means 711114b8-a8284111 is now 711114b8_a8284111 ? I will try it! 
hmm it seems that my tablet now has an altogether new deviceID as well - is this something that could happen when Home Assistant itself updates?
I had a feeling that was going to be the answer, good to have it confirmed. Thanks Thomas!
It can happen from time to time.
With 1.1.6 You can go to https://your-ha-url:8123/?deviceID=711114b8-a8284111 on your tablet to reset it.
Do you know why some of your custom cards (layout-card over all) are not working on IOS 10.3.4?
I already open an issueâŠ
I hate to ask such a noob question to what is likely very basic css and yaml formatting, but I cannot figure out how to get correct styling with browser_mod/card_mod and the popup service call. Basically when I click on an entity I get a browser_mod popup card, and that single large card is filled with several rows/columns of different buttons using a vertical-stack and several horizontal-stack cards. The problem is that I need to change the width of the single large card containing all buttons, but setting the optional parameter large: true is too wide, but large: false is just a tiny bit too narrow. Iâve tried applying style at various levels but either nothing changes or the wrong card changes. Just interested in the single large main popup card. Below is the card set to large both true/false.
Hereâs part of the lovelace config; I left out the bottom 80% of that card for brevity.
- type: image
title: null
image: /local/ui/floorplan/hue.png
style:
top: 7%
left: 60%
width: 7vw
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: browser_mod.popup
service_data:
title: bitch ass hue
large: true
hide_header: true
deviceID:
- this
card:
type: vertical-stack
cards:
- type: horizontal-stack
title: Hue Light Control
cards:
- type: custom:button-card
entity_picture: /local/ui/hue/savanna.png
show_entity_picture: true
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: input_select.select_option
service_data:
entity_id: input_select.hue_scenes
option: 'Savanna sunset'
styles:
card:
- width: 100px
entity_picture:
- height: 100px
- width: 100px
- type: custom:button-card
entity_picture: /local/ui/hue/tropical.png
show_entity_picture: true
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: input_select.select_option
service_data:
entity_id: input_select.hue_scenes
option: Tropical twilight
styles:
card:
- width: 100px
entity_picture:
- height: 100px
- width: 100px
Set large to true, and then use card-mod to style the whole thing to make it smaller.
I suppose this is where my css noobness really shines; where would the style be nested in the above example config? Iâve managed to change the width of the individual buttons; the width of the single column/vertical-stack within the single large card, but never can change the actual pop-up card width (other than changing large setting).
Absolute full config share?
Has anyone had issues with browser_mod & the device light entity on a Samsung Galaxy Tab?
I have an issue where I can use the light entity to turn the tablet light off (great) but unable to turn it back on. Issue seems to persist even when I use the FKB web interface. I am able to turn the screen off but unable to turn it on.
When I ran some cheap Lenovo tablets, the screen toggle worked perfectly so Iâm thinking it may be an issue with the way FKB interacts with the tablet.
Any help much appreciated!
how to install browser mode

If youâre not using HACS, thereâs a green download button at the top right of the github page.
The readme tells you which files you need and where to place them.
