exactly that…I have an automation run first thing in the morning (when phone comes of charge) to turn on a smart plug which turns on the shows then 2 minutes later it runs “open silk” via alexa media intergation which auto loads the browser, then I scroll up half an inch to get it looking like this.
I sould really do a full write up to make it easy for anyone who is wanting to do this now with all the sideloading blocks in place
Ok, so you pushed it up manually…i thought the pushin up was automaticly throug whatever…
this is the only thing that annoys me on the actual solution 
greetings
yes…if this could be automated ith a full screen command Id be very happy with how everything else works, especially as my dashbaords have live camera feeds that keep it open all day long
Can someone please show how the virtual switch must be configurated? i didn’t get it…
only make a “helper” entity doesn’t work because i can’t expose this to nabu casa
what should there in:
not a switch, an input_boolean toggle. mine is called input_boolean.alexasilk
Isn`t Echo show 15 fire-tv build-in? Can we install home assistant apk?
Sideloading is gone. And still wouldn’t keep it open as active screen.
Hello everyone,
I am new here and already have some experience in HA.
I have created it in HA and it works great. Thanks for that.
Now my question about the .hmtl linked above
Can’t you somehow create an automation that works or simulates pressing the green button on the .hmtl?
I hope you understand what I mean… I just don’t want to press the button every time I start HA on the echo.
Or does the button now always stay green?
So I mean, when I turn off the screen on the Echo Show, I turn it on again next time, I open the Silk Browser then HA with the dashboard.
Does the button always stay green and do I have to press it every time after restarting the Echo Show?
no and yes. I already made some changes. unfortunately from my research the initial interaction is necc for security reasons. as for the button
I created my own html file that I k I kin www to use with the iframe card. this way I am not dependent on an external source and it plays a silent wav file, no external files. instead of using a swipe card I just add a small iframe to the bottom of my dash(aspect ratio 5%) that will show a small green “keep open” button. when pressed it goes invisible since I set the html background to same color of the theme I am using on the dashboard. I also added subtle animation effects to the whole dash using card mod so that every 7 min the screen fades and moves just to combat possible screen burn. here is a media dash I use on an echo 15 before and after the html
Okay, thank you.
Sounds logical, but unfortunately I’m not yet very familiar with changing, inserting and editing files.
You have attached a new .hmtl below.
What exactly do I have to do now so that the dashboard looks like this for me?
To be honest, I don’t know what to do with the attached file. Please don’t laugh at me 
Detailed instructions would be like winning the lottery for me.
best regards
copy it to your config/www folder. or use file editor in ha to create a new file in the //www folder called keep-open.html and paste the contents.
then in your iframe card use http://yourhaipaddress:8123/local/keep-open.html
Thank you very much. I don’t even know how to thank you.
The button is displayed and after pressing it turns black and is no longer visible 
That’s the way it should be. I did it with the File Editor, the first time with it.
And how do I do it now with the card mod animation???
Do I have to create a new card?
When I search in the cards, there is no card with …card mode… is displayed. But I have already downloaded the integration.
I am completely at a loss.
Can you explain to me where I have to insert the card mod animation.
I’m being really stupid
oh boy, I see.You’re a green one. I’ll do my best, but for everything there is always something else.
do you have Hacs installed? you have to do that first. search. many custom cards are available. and integrations that help customize ha. card_mod comes from GitHub - thomasloven/lovelace-card-mod: 🔹 Add CSS styles to (almost) any lovelace card l, install using Hacs.
then you can add modifications to any card in lovelace. to individual cards Or what I like to do is use vertical stack card which comes with home assistant or my favorite is custom:stack-in-card via Hacs which let’s you stack several cards in one. then you can apply card mods to the whole stack which is better for shifting all the cards in the animation.
custom:stack-in-card
card_mod:
*****
cards:
weather card
clock card
media card
etc etc
that is a very basic outline
Thank you for your efforts.
Yes, I am still green in HA But everyone starts small and I’ve been reading along in the community for a long time
I have already downloaded Hacs and a lot of maps.
My problem is simply how to write this YamL. I don’t get along with this indentation. I can’t cope with that. I just don’t understand where and where the lines have to be.
Can you perhaps create an animated map like this for me so that I can use it as a template?
The screenshot shows an attempt I made, but I couldn’t get the indentation right.
that’s just something you’ll have to get experience with. my pastdbins should be correct
sorry I didn’t look before you just need to move card_mod on the same columns as type
- type
card_mod
Sorry, I’m completely overwhelmed and really don’t know what to write where.
Can’t you send me a small card with your …ha card mod animation for screen burn protection…
I’ve been trying for ages now and don’t know what to do anymore
I wouldn’t worry too much about screen burn in to be honest. but what you showed me looks correct. you just have the line with card_mod indented when it needs to be flush with the line above. right under the word type. some worry about the next lines just backspace card_mod
and remove custom vertical card line Just

@Littlejoe , in your HTML sheet, I’m looking for the address of the silent .wav file.
Gemini says:
UklGRigAAABXQVZFZm10IBIAAAABAAEARKwAAIhYAQACABAAAABkYXRhAgAAAAEA: This is the actual Base64-encoded audio data itself.
Am I to understand you don’t need to point to a “silent.wav” file, but that Base64 string represents a silent wav file? If so that is soooo cool.
