I’m trying to create a dashboard for TV shows we watch and links to different play services.
I have managed to get this kind of layout so far where each picture card calls a script that casts the show to our livingroom chromecast. (https://github.com/lindell/home-assistant-svt-play)
What I now want is to make the badges work as links to the play channels main page.
I found https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/browser/ which means you can call a browser service, and according to the description it should open a browser window/tab with the link. But I can’t get that working. (I have added browser: to configuration.yaml)
Not in Developer Tools -> Services or in a script.
I use Developer Tools, and I choose Browser/brose_url from the list and I enter
{“url”: “http://www.google.com”} and nothing happens. The system does nothing. Why? It this a known bug?
I did found a work aeound for my purposes. Perhaps you could work with this to Hellis81? What I needed was a way to alert my webserver. And since browser.browse_url dont work. I instead use the shell command curl.
So after giving more attention to the documentation we can find that this component will open browser only on host machine - the machine where your HA is installed.
