Edit: I “solved” it myself, but am open to suggestions if they involve not having to use a helper and an automation for each camera.
Original post:
I am trying to get the WAF here. In video below, it is a lot of clicks relatively speaking to get to a full view clive amera and then kinda diffcult to close it. Is there a better way to do this?
Optimally I would like that after I click on the view I want to see, the live view comes up full screen or nearly full screen automatically (in video I have to press full screen icon), and then it is easier to exit it (in video you can see I have to go out of fullscreen and then close it)
I was trying to get the camera to open up in a nearly fullscreen “bubble card” pop up cause then I can just click somewhere on the edges to close it, but the view wouldent go live.
I also have the browser mod popup to show my doorbell camera when doorbell is rung, and that works great. But that is accomplished through an automation. I think browser mod popup may work for these cameras too but I cant figure out how I would trigger it from a dashboard press.
I think I found a way, its not the most straight forward but I am having a tap on the preview trigger a toggle to turn on. Then I made an automation that when that toggle turns on, it opens up a browser mod popup window at fullscreen. I was hoping there was a way I could do it all with dashboard yaml and not have to do an automation.
