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

dasbooter · September 17, 2022, 3:20pm

I used TTS but I think that part doesn’t matter. I also have played numerous types of audio to google devices but in this instance it was advantageous for browser-mod to navigate to a tab displaying a camera and then browser-mod to play audio while that tab was open. I could probably just play audio to a speaker right beside the hub. As of now I have returned to a backup that utilized browser-mod 1.53

Thanks a lot, it helped me

@reste_narquois Is there any way how to format font used in the popup window header? As it differs from the font used in the theme.
I mean change font and font-variant

Anyone else getting this in their logs since upgrading to 2.x?

These are the sensor entities for my main desktop browser. They all show as unavailable. The Screen switch works fine.

I was just going to ask a similar question.
I used to use this, but it no longer seems to work.

      style:
        $: |
          .mdc-dialog .mdc-dialog__container .mdc-dialog__surface {
              font-family: "Oswald" %};
            }

but that no longer works.

klogg · September 18, 2022, 4:06pm

I know about the websocket closing but with the old browser mod I could get around that using an automation.

Whenever the media player became unavailable would send a rest command to Fully Kiosk to reload the start URL and the media player became available again.

That doesn’t work anymore. Is there any other way than touching the screen?

    trigger:
      - platform: homeassistant
        event: start

      - platform: state
        entity_id: media_player.hallpanel
        to: unavailable

    action:
      - delay:
          seconds: 10

      #=== If unavailable then reload start url
      - if:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: media_player.hallpanel
            state: unavailable
        then:
          - service: rest_command.hall_panel_fully_kiosk_load_start_url

Glad that I am not alone, still believe that there is the solution, but not able to find it

kommis · September 19, 2022, 8:09am

Hello,

i have a question. Is it possible to show a “gallery-card” as timeout action?

How it works?

This is my configuration in the lovelace:

type: custom:gallery-card
show_reload: true
entities:
  - path: media-source://media_source
    recursive: true
title: Abwesenheit
parsed_date_sort: false
caption_format: '%m/%d %H:%M %p'
maximum_files: '5'

thanks for your help

kommis · September 19, 2022, 8:33am

The idea behind it would be that I show a video of the doorbell ringing when I’m not at home. In other words, a notification should be triggered here in which I can then click on it and watch the video.

nerdybynature · September 19, 2022, 8:44pm

I don’t understand how to use form data from the popup. Could someone give any insight?

In the popup I would like to be able to select the value for an input_datetime helper.
I’ve managed to create the popup with an input for time but I don’t know how to pass the value to the set_datetime service.

hold_action:
  action: fire-dom-event
  browser_mod:
    service: browser_mod.popup
    data:
      title: Set charging start time
      content:
        - name: startTime
          label: Start charging at
          selector:
            text:
              type: time    
      right_button: "Set"
      right_button_action: 
        action: call-service
        service: input_datetime.set_datetime
        data:
          time: [[ HOW DO I PASS THE INPUT VALUE HERE? ]]
        target:
          entity_id: input_datetime.ev_charging_start_time

EDIT
Ok, I managed to learn how to pass along form data. All I needed to know was in the documentation, I just had to re-read it again.

mikaelhertzman · September 19, 2022, 9:10pm

Sorry, but I can’t make it work on unregistered devices. According to the documentation a browser call will perform the service on the current browser if browser_id is omitted. I am not entirely sure on how to accomplish a browser call despite reading the documentation.

In my Lovelace dashboard I have

type: custom:mushroom-light-card
            name: Outside
            entity: light.outside_lights
            hold_action:
              action: fire-dom-event
              browser_mod:
                service: script.light_info_popup
                data:
                  entity_id: light.outside_lights

and in scripts I have

  light_info_popup:
    sequence:
      - service: browser_mod.popup
        data_template:
          title: "{{ state_attr(entity_id, 'friendly_name') }}"
          content:
            type: custom:auto-entities
            card:
              type: entities
            filter:
              include:
                - domain: light
                  group: "{{ entity_id }}"

What am I doing wrong here, what do I need to make this a browser call?

Should´t be like this?

with this code doesen’t work

theandouz · September 20, 2022, 6:23pm

Is it possible to hide the scroll bar in a popup?

mgb66 · September 20, 2022, 8:33pm

UPDATE: It would appear that adding browser_id: THIS is stopping browser_mod working on all my use cases. I have some where tap_action should pop-up a thermostat card. Again if I remove the browser_id: then it attempts to show the card, although the content is missing. FIXED: I hadn’t changed card: to content:

~~ORIGINAL QUESTION - STILL OPEN:~~
~~I have updated to the latest version of browser_mod and most of my pop-ups are working, except where I’m using browser_mod.more_info.~~

~~My code is:~~

~~</s> <s>hold_action:</s> <s> action: call-service</s> <s> service: browser_mod.more_info</s> <s> data:</s> <s> entity: number.wiser_away_mode_target_temperature</s> <s>~~
~~This works on my laptop, but if I hold on this on my phone the pop-up appears on the laptop.~~

~~So I added browser_id: THIS~~

~~Following this the pop-up doesn’t appear at all on any device.~~

~~Any clues?~~ FIXED: I changed to using the fire-dom-event and this is now working.

wernazz · September 21, 2022, 10:41am

Hey. Im trying to do a pop up within a slider card but cant get it to work/call the service. Any help would be awesome. Im trying to build a slider card (works) where i can press the “picture” i,e “Lights” which shows me a pop up to all my lights/light group. Right now its just showing me a blank pop-up without any text or entities/lights

Thank you
