Default view on timeout

This blueprint makes it easy to have a Lovelace interface which returns to a default view after a timeout.

Requirements:

Use:

First you must find the entity of the device to control. This is sadly not as easy as it could/should be, since Blueprints does not offer the possibility to sort entites by their attribute. It gets a little easier if you specify a alias to the deviceID (https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-browser_mod#aliases)

Secondly, you must the default path.

Lastly you will need to select a timeout in seconds before the device navigates back to the default view.

You might have missed a typo.

I might think you were right, thank you.

Hi @J-Lindvig, it looks like this worked with the old browser_mod but browser_mod 2 has changed a few things around? e.g. instead of DeviceID: it is now browser_id:. Do you possibly have an updated blueprint that works with browser_mod 2? Thanks!
