comet424 · March 10, 2026, 1:29am

hi
so ive setup the browser mod dashboard several years ago… from a search on google about dashboards and i liked what the guy did copy and pasted it… and when browser mod 2 came out had to adjust it…

now i wanted to add text to the title of the popup but it doesnt add… when i do the developer page — actionts and browser mod i do a title and submit but it doesnt even pop up anymore… i remember it used to work years ago pop up but now doesnt… so i cant test to get it to work

here is the code i working with… i trying to add text above the 2 buttons that show up

    - type: custom:button-card
                template: bootstrap_button
                class: col-xl-2 col-lg-2 col-md-3 col-sm-4 col-4
                entity: group.hotwater_tanks
                state_display: |
                  [[[
                    var count = states['sensor.hot_water_tanks_on'].state;
                    if (count == 1)
                      return '1 Tank On';
                    else return count + ' Tanks On';
                  ]]]
                tap_action:
                  action: fire-dom-event
                  browser_mod:
                    service: browser_mod.popup
                    data:
                      title: This Is A test
                      large: true
                      hide_header: false
                      content: 
                        title: test
                        type: custom:bootstrap-grid-card
                        global_col_class: col-xl-2 col-lg-2 col-md-3 col-xl-4 col-4

With developer tools with browser_mod.popup, if your Browser is not registered then it wont work as it is a Server call. So if you want to test in this way, you need to have your browser registered, then browser_mod.popup as a Server call will either go to the Browser you target, or go to all registered browsers.

Your button code on dashbaord is using fire-dom-event which makes it a Browser call, and will work as long as Browser Mod is installed, even if the local Browser is not registered.

ok ill take a look tommorow more

i did what you said toggle the register all browswers… i refreshed things

if i do title and content only content shows up Title text doesnt show up nore the title on my buttons

i guess the target browsers is for different things to show on a browswer? or fit better is that the main reason?

If you are on Home Assistant 2026.3 you need to be on Browser Mod 2.8.0 or greater (2.9.0 now available).

Not sure about your button text.

Anyhow I have got your started. Any specific help you need plase share code with where you are using the code. e.g. I am running X in Developer tools, expect Y but does not happen OR I have code on dashboard and Y is not happening. Currently I am doing a lot of guessing of what you are trying.

the above code is from the dashboard

under developer actions
i did

action: browser_mod.popup
data:
  allow_nested_more_info: false
  timeout: 1
  title: test title
  size: normal
  autoclose: true
  content: test content

this is the result… i wanted to also mod my pop ups to auto close after 10 seconds but that timeout isnt working either just sits there

im running 2026.3.1 for core
browser mod 2.3.7 thats what the corner says on the hacs / browswer mod

ill upgrade to 2.8 then as its never offered to update

how do you set it so browser mod shows there is an update avaliable?

comet424 · March 10, 2026, 2:37am

i only found 2.3.8-beta.1 released 10 months ago is that the one i want? no 2.8

here my my browser page

That is an old fork - that is why you are not getting updates. Remove it from your custom repositories and search again for Browser Mod in HACS

Title will be fixed once you are on latest Browser Mod.
