I have a dashboard set up with entity cards as below. I’d like to have a different action called depending on whether I press the text for each light (toggle the light on/off) or the icon (calls a browsermod service.
At the moment I’m using paper-buttons-row for each entity row and calling a different action based on whether the row is tapped or double-tapped, however I can’t separate the action of the icon and the text.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this? Willing to use a different custom front-end element as long as I can retain the same appearance and functionality I have at the moment.
but you still end up with a tap action belonging to an entity. Means as long as one uses an entity which does have a name and an icon you can hardly link the tap_actions to the name or the icon. It remains being bound to the entity.
In other words 2 entities, one onyl showing it’s name the other only showing it’s icon.
Perhaps jonathanc could explain what he’s after … most times there’s multiple ways to archive the same thing in the end.
Thanks, for example if I press the lightbulb next to “Dining” I’d like to toggle my Dining light entity, but if I press the “Dining” text I’d like it to trigger a browsermod popup.
Happy to achieve in whatever way I can, not stuck to any particular method.
I’d say you need 2 entities then, 1 only showing it’s icon without a name and next to it another one showing the name but no icon. Then you have 2 entites separated from each other while if being placed next to each other they do like belonging together. As already suggested multiple-entity-row might be a good idea to start with. It’s well documented with lots of examples.
Unfortunately multiple entity row was the first I tried and I couldn’t get it to repeat that at all. From memory I couldn’t get it to show only an icon and not a toggle button/state next to it.
If there’s some way to get it to behave as I want it to then I’m all ears and I know I might just be missing something, but I tried with multiple entity rows for hours!
