Go straight to logbook from tapping a dashboard tile

Configuration Frontend

I am using a picture-elements card to display movement/intruders/vibration etc on a floorplan. Working well overall.

Some of these states are from input booleans which are used to store a state and I want to be able to see the logbook for it when I tap the icon, but not be able to toggle it - or at least not easily - from this dashboard. More-info does enable logbook viewing but also makes it too easy to accidentally toggle.

  - type: state-icon
    entity: input_boolean.frvibfelt
    icon: mdi:vibrate
    style:
      left: 62%
      top: 16%
    tap_action:
      action: none
    hold_action:
      action: more-info

What can I put for the action: to get it to simply display the logbook entries so I can see what time the helper last changed state?

I don’t think there’s an easy way to do what you want, but could you use templates instead of input_booleans, for things you don’t want modifiable through the UI?

I guess you could make a subview with a logbook card in it, and use navigate to show it as a tap action.

Your second idea is a quick fix that will work very well until I can implement a smoother way around it. Thank you!
