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

[thomasloven (Thomas Lovén)]

If the description of a new release starts with “BREAKING”, it’s a good idea to read the release notes:

DBuit/cover-popup-card

cover-popup-card doesnt work anymore since last updates, is anybody else having the same issue?

[ASNNetworks]

No issues here. Haven’t had a single breaking popup using browser_mod.

This is running latest updates:

All DBuits popup cards work for me (light and mediaplayer popup-cards).

[BerniApple (Bernardo)]

Can you help me? Where is the problem? Should I check the log??

[BerniApple (Bernardo)]

Are you using browser mod built in pop up? Cuz I’m using cover pop up card. May you send me your yaml?

Hi, I’m really struggling to get this to work.

views:
  - title: '1'
    path: '1'
    cards:
      - type: vertical-stack
        cards:
          - type: horizontal-stack
            cards:
              - type: 'custom:button-card'
                color_type: card
                color: 'auto'
                icon: 'mdi:thermostat'
                tap_action:
                  action: call-service
                  service: browser_mod.popup
                  service_data:
                    title: Popup example
                    card:
                      type: entities
                      entities:
                        - light.livingroom_lamp
                    deviceID:
                      - this

Without the deviceID section, it works as expected. Adding this breaks it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[P3nkiln]

replacing “this” with a specific deviceID works and only opens the popup on the specified device. So the issue is with “this”.

Forecast card

I’m struggling with not getting the prefix and the alias for my devices. In the configuration.yaml file, I add the following lines:

  prefix: "browser_mod_"
  devices:
    ef1d212f-90d0bc54:
      name: imac
    7351ff94-d017bf2e:
      name: mobiel

I checked the deviceID’s via mod_browser.debug under Services. But these deviceID’s are not getting the Alias. I expect that I can find these renamed" entities under the Entity tab by searching for it.

What am I doing wrong?

[rmertz3282]

Do you have browser_mod listed first in configuration.yaml?

browser_mod:
  prefix: “browser_”
  devices:

[Stephen_Tittel]

Thanks, that does the trick. Another issue: the alias doesn’t work, it doesn’t replace the unique id.

I checked if they are available via de Developer tools.

I searched the entity and selected one of them, and there I see the alias mobiel:

And I guess, imac is not a unique name, so I need to assign an unique name. Lets try this out

[ASNNetworks]

Yes, same here now. Somehow it changes the device name itself, but not the entities tied to it. I manually changed the entities names (like you can with any entity). Workaround, but fine for the time being.

Hi,
Large: true is to large for my display. How can i make ist smaller?

[VDRainer]

I’m using card-mod.

              tap_action:
                action: fire-dom-event
                browser_mod:
                  command: popup
                  title: "DWD Wetterwarnung \U000026A0"
                  style:
                    .: |
                      :host .content {
                        width: 600px;
                      }
                  card:
                    ...

Be aware that this is the old syntax of card-mod. With the new one it didn’t work for me.

To access the new cool features, you need to replace

style:
… stuff here …

with

card_mod:
style:
… stuff here …

Just style should still mostly work, but you won’t get the new features.

[Artur1990 (Artur)]

@VDRainer

I’m using card-mod.

this dont work for me…

[Artur1990 (Artur)]

I can’t find this option anywhere. Where can i read about it?

host .content {
  width: 600px;
}

[kr_noob (Kevin)]

Is there a way to periodically check the deviceID via an automation? Mine periodically changes and breaks another automation - so I was hoping there is a way to retrieve the deviceid with an automation periodically and see if it has changed.

How do I implement the browser_mod popup service using the new 1.3.0 version?
Where do I put the popup command and what was “service_data” before (the cards themselves)?
For example, how do I modify this?

        tap_action:
          action: call-service
          service: browser_mod.popup
          service_data:
            card:
              type: 'custom:weather-card'
              entity: weather.darksky_hourly
              hourly_forecast: true
              forecast: true
              number_of_forecasts: '18'
              details: false
              current: false
              icons: /local/icons/weather_icons/static/
            deviceID:
              - this
            style: |
              :host .content {
                width: 80vw;
              }
            title: Hourly Weather Forecast

So with the latest version calling the service via the front end using Custom Button Card i cannot use the service fire-dom-event as it isnt a valid service in my list of available services.

Instead i had to remove deviceid: this from my buttons to allow the popup to work which now presents the popup on all devices.

What is the workaround to this? I only want the popup to appear on the device that initiated the popup.
