Looking for workaround for using template vs getting full functionality

Third party integrations Floorplan
1

I have a status indicator for my alarm on my floorplan which is just a text element which displays alarm state: disarmed, armed home, armed away. The state is a fairly ugly text string with underscores, so I used a template to make it nicer looking.

The downside to this is that when I click on it, I now just get a history of the state, not the full alarm control panel popup that allows me to control the alarm.

Can anybody think of a workaround for this so I can retain the ability to control the alarm, but also show the status in a nice format?

If I understand you correctly it should be rather easy. Make a rectangle over that template in your SVG file, and have your original alarm entity as ID for that rectangle, then make that rectangle invisible (opacity 0), and there you go :slight_smile: Now, when you click on your template, you really is clicking on the id of the invisible rectangel.
Hope this helps.
