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

[Fenki]

Hey!
Thank you very much for testing and the tips!
So I re-downloaded the browser mod and the button card, double checked resource and yaml entries. It didn’t help.
Also I replaced all sensors with the sun.sun as you suggested: no success.

Now I reduced the card down to the type, entity and the tap action: it is not working.
But if I change the type from custom:button_card to button (the standard button), it works perfect.

What is a quite confusing is that it works from my backup (before installing 2022.4). If I update Home Assistant Core only, it quits working.

So this does NOT work for me:

entity: sensor.balcony_01_temperature
tap_action:
  action: fire-dom-event
  browser_mod:
    command: popup
    large: false
    hide_header: false
    card:
      cards:
        - entities:
            - entity: sensor.balcony_01_temperature
          hours_to_show: 336
          refresh_interval: 0
          title: 2 weeks
          type: history-graph
        - entities:
            - aggregate_func: max
              color: null
              entity: sensor.balcony_01_temperature
              name: Max
            - aggregate_func: min
              entity: sensor.balcony_01_temperature
              name: Min
            - aggregate_func: avg
              color: green
              entity: sensor.balcony_01_temperature
              name: Avg
          group_by: date
          hours_to_show: 336
          name: Daily (last 2 weeks)
          type: custom:mini-graph-card
      type: vertical-stack
    deviceID:
      - this
    title: Temperature Outside
type: custom:button-card

But if I change
type: custom:button-card
to
type: button
All is fine. Just the button cannot be customized like my original example.

Also the tap_action in general works on the button card. This shows just the more info dialog:

show_name: true
show_icon: true
type: custom:button-card
tap_action:
  action: more-info
entity: sensor.balcony_01_temperature

I’m quite stuck at the moment - but I keep trying. To use the older version of home assistant is no real solution since I hate pending updates

Hi there! First day with this integration, I’ve read a lot of documentation and I think what I need is not possible, but going to ask just to be sure. I made a script to go to a different tab in my dashboard and then go back to the previous just to reload a WebRTC Card that not always starts as it should (a simple reload of the page or reopen the tab is enough to solve this). I want this script to work in any device (not only in the media_player generated by this integration) so I tried the “frontend via fire-dom-event” but as it is available for use only in cards (not in scripts) I’m not able to work this idea. The script uses the “navigation” command and works great, but only in one device if I don’t define the device id, and I don’t want to define different devices as I have multiple in home and maybe will get some more (laptops, tablets and phones).

Also I tried the command window_reload but it was worst, the cards did not show well after run it and also have to define multiple devices.

Any ideas about this?

Thanks!!

Hello everyone. Something happened with my configuration that it is not finding in browser_mod.js file. I already put the folder in 20 different places and I can’t. I ask for your help if perhaps you realize the mistake. Thank you so much

I didn’t install it from hacs because I couldn’t find it. I had it working but at one point it stopped.
Copy the folder from git hub and paste it in several places because it didn’t work in any of them. In the github integration it says that it only finds where it is located.

this is the last locate

[reste_narquois (Chris Warne)]

Browser mod is an integration.

The setting you’ve shared from your Lovelace resources is to ensure that you can also use it with Home Assistant Cast. Is that the specific issue you are trying to resolve?

Can you share the main configuration for browser mod from your configuration.yaml so we can see if it’s OK?

[Pablo_Gustavo_Fiscel (Pablo Gustavo Fiscella)]

This is the configuration I have in configuration.yaml. It was working perfectly and stopped working. I managed to install browser_mod from hacs. The problem is that it is not loading the browser_mod.js file. When I open the debugger the file is not found (error 404) I had all the popups working on a lot of cards but they no longer work. That’s why searching I found that it is not loading the file. Thanks for answering

browser_mod:
   devices:
     b1870054-18c4f630:
       name: mini_ipad
     c6a7b5aa-e6e00a41:
       name: tab_10_pro
   disable:
     - all

I just tried it on the edge and the file loads it. I guess it’s a cache problem. But it still doesn’t work. Doesn’t open popups

aggregate information
Delete all chrome history and now if you find the file but the popups still don’t open

[reste_narquois (Chris Warne)]

Integration setup looks OK to me, so not sure what to advise.

Two things we could explore - are you seeing anything in the logs?

And second, what is your configuration for your popups?

[Pablo_Gustavo_Fiscel (Pablo Gustavo Fiscella)]

This is an example that has been working. It is the project of @Mattias_Persson A different take on designing a Lovelace UI
Everything worked perfectly, but I don’t know why it stopped working.
In the eno registry I have nothing to do with the integration. In fact I reinstalled it and it started to recognize new devices

[Fenki]

Ok, I’ve seen tat others have some issues too. I’d like to help - but since my installation doesn’t work either

I don’t know why I didn’t check earlier, but that’s what I found in the console of Firefoxes developer tools:

GEThttps://192.168.1.200:8123/www/community/lovelace-card-mod/card-mod.js
[HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found 0ms]

Can someone tell me where home assistant has the path /www/community/… from? browser_mod was always installed in custom_components via HACS.
I checked ll the yaml files I found, but there is nothing. But I suspect this to be the root cause for my issue…

Just to mention again: I didn’t change any configuration from 2022.4 to a core update 2022.5 - it just stopped working. There should be a connection I didn’t find yet.

[Pablo_Gustavo_Fiscel (Pablo Gustavo Fiscella)]

From what I understood it no longer goes in the community folder but in custom_components which is where you install browser_mod
But in the documentation it says that you have to make the reference as if it were in the root and even they say that it only takes care of knowing where to look for it.

url: "/browser_mod.js", type: module

At one point chrome couldn’t find the file, but after clearing the cache it found it and loaded it. But in my case the popups do not open

[ThaNerd (Turbo Tronix)]

Is there a way to close the browser window? I have a custom-button in the popup window with a tap_action that calls a script. In that script I added:
- service: browser_mod.close_popup
but it doesn’t close the popup window.

[Fenki]

Yeah, I got the point that it gets to custom_components.
I uninstalled browser_mod and deletes every folder. Also I removed the reference in configuration.yaml and the mentioned url in the dashboard configuration. Then I did two reboots and installed it again.
The browser cache I cleared several times, tried another browser - and another laptop. Still the wrong path shows up…

[Pablo_Gustavo_Fiscel (Pablo Gustavo Fiscella)]

Something just happened to me that baffles me more.
On a tablet that I have on the wall it started to respond but on the phone or computers it does not open the windows. Clearly I didn’t understand something, I changed something

I modify
stop working again
I can for service show it but only that way

[dgarciadonado (dgdonado)]

Hello @Kejszijo , I am experiencing the same issues trying to have swiper-card inside popup cards.
Dig you get to manage it?
Thank you!

[Pablo_Gustavo_Fiscel (Pablo Gustavo Fiscella)]

It’s very weird. Yesterday it worked and then it stopped working. I relate it to the installation of mushroom and minimalistic. may have to do? mushroom I uninstalled it but it didn’t improve. Does anyone have an idea what could be going on? thank you

[Kejszijo (Zoltán Kovács)]

Hi,

Unforutnately no…so, I stopped using the swipe card.

[dgarciadonado (dgdonado)]

Ok, anyway, thank you for the answer!

[Pablo_Gustavo_Fiscel (Pablo Gustavo Fiscella)]

uninstall minimalistic integration and browser_mod started. to work. Something is stepping in the code that did not allow me to have both things working at the same time

[Fenki]

Thanks a lot for the input! I uninstalled the minimal UI as well - and it works for me too!
First I just disabled it: this did not help, so I thought I had some other issue.

As soon as someone rings, a pop-up window opens on the tablet.

I would like the window to close automatically after 20 seconds. Currently the popup window does not close automatically.

Where am I making the mistake? Can somebody help me.

[reste_narquois (Chris Warne)]

The time setting does not do what you think.

Instead you should be issuing a series of commands in succession: popup, delay, then close_popup

Here’s the example from the docs, which hopefully you should be able to adapt for your needs:

service: browser_mod.commands
data:
  commands:
    - command: blackout
    - command: delay
      seconds: 5
    - command: no_blackout
