Custom button card multi-action button and a hold action?

Configuration Frontend
1

Hello,

I have working custom button card multi-action button that I want to add a hold action to navigate.
I am so far unable to make both work. I have managed to get either working by changing the
indentations but never both. Can you see where my error is? Many thanks

type: custom:button-card
entity: input_boolean.state
color: auto
name: " "
styles:
  card:
    - height: 32px
tap_action:
  action: multi-actions
  actions:
    - action: perform-action
      perform_action: script.single_conditional
      target:
        entity_id: input_boolean.atv_nav
    - action: navigate
      navigation_path: /apple-tv-swipe-1/0
  icon_hold_action:
    - action: navigate
      navigation_path: /apple-tv-swipe-1/0
icon: mdi:apple

To start use - action: call-service

Example :down_arrow:

tap_action:
  action: multi-actions
  actions:
    - action: call-service
      service: script.single_conditional

    - action: call-service
      service: light.turn_on
      data:
        entity_id: light.xxxxxx
hold_action:
    action: call-service
    service: light.turn_off
    data:
        entity_id: light.xxxxx

Thanks!
Not sure I understand your suggestion though?
I am trying to add a hold action to navigate to a working multi-action button that is working as intended and looks like the code below , before I add the hold action.

Where should this code go in there without breaking the multi-action?

This is at least what I think I should add;

      icon_hold_action:
        action: navigate
        navigation_path: /kodi-swipe-1/0

To this working button:

type: custom:button-card
entity: input_boolean.atv
color: auto
name: " "
styles:
  card:
    - height: 32px
tap_action:
  action: multi-actions
  actions:
    - action: perform-action
      perform_action: script.single_conditional
      target:
        entity_id: input_boolean.atv_nav
    - action: navigate
      navigation_path: /apple-tv-swipe-1/0
icon: mdi:apple

like this

type: custom:button-card
entity: input_boolean.state
color: auto
icon: mdi:apple
tap_action:
  action: multi-actions
  actions:
    - action: call-service
      service: script.xxxxxxx
    - action: call-service
      service: light.turn_on
      data:
        entity_id: light.xxxxx
hold_action:
  action: navigate
  navigation_path: old

Is this path a Dashboard? navigation_path: /apple-tv-swipe-1/0?

Yes.
The code you just quoted does not work here with the multi-action.
Als not doing any call-service calls in this button.

what version do you have installed?

Worked fine for me

tap_action:
  action: multi-actions
  actions:
    - action: call-service
      service: script.fan_speed_1
    - action: call-service
      service: light.turn_on
      data:
        entity_id: light.pc_light

You can use - action: perform-action too

tap_action:
  action: multi-actions
  actions:
    - action: perform-action
      perform_action: light.toggle
      target:
        entity_id: light.pc_light
    -  action: perform-action
       perform_action: script.fan_speed_4

Your issue is most likely you nav path

icon_hold_action:
  action: navigate
  navigation_path: main

Thanks again,
The nav paths work fine in many other places so that is not the issue.
So what you are suggesting is that I should put my nav code where your light code is?

8

Again what is the nav path?

I've reworked most of the standard and custom cards with my own local versions. Forgive me a bit as I catch up on the changes with the HACs downloads.

The nav path is working. Truly.

10

just not in the custom:button-card?

11

It is working in the main code I quoted in many places in my install for years.
My issue is that I can not add a hold action navigation to it without breaking it.
I did consult the docs for the card about this but this bit seems unclear to me.
Probably my bad.
Sorry if I am being unclear.

  1. Indentation of icon_hold_action is wrong. It should be at same level as tap_action
  2. icon_hold_action should not be a list.
tap_action:
  action: multi-actions
  actions:
    - action: perform-action
      perform_action: script.single_conditional
      target:
        entity_id: input_boolean.atv_nav
    - action: navigate
      navigation_path: /apple-tv-swipe-1/0
icon_hold_action:
  action: navigate
  navigation_path: /apple-tv-swipe-1/0

Thanks but I spoke too soon...a correction: this breaks the multi-action.

14

I tested this and it works fine

type: custom:button-card
entity: input_boolean.state
color: auto
icon: mdi:apple
tap_action:
  action: multi-actions
  actions:
    - action: perform-action
      perform_action: light.toggle
      target:
        entity_id: light.pc_light
    - action: navigate
      navigation_path: old
icon_hold_action:
  action: navigate
  navigation_path: main

Thanks.
Possibly because I am loading a script and your version switches a light.
I give up for now but will try and tweak this at a later point.
