New Alarm Tile Card - Automation to Popup Keypad

Hi All. I’m loving the new Alarm Tile Card introduced in 2023.4. There’s a lot more room for other things to be showing on my tablet dashboard at my front door, now we don’t have to show the bulky keypad all the time.

However, I wonder if there’s a way to tell my tablet (running Fully Kiosk Browser) to popup the alarm keypad when the alarm moves into the Pending state? This would really help an infrequent user (such as our cleaner) so that they won’t have to know which button to press in order to show the keypad to enter the alarm code.

I have had a quick look at browser_mod which looks like it might have the capability to emulate a button press, but it also seems to overlap a lot of the functionality I already use with the Fully Kiosk Browser integration (e.g. Media Player to play sounds on alarm state changes). Would it make sense to use browser_mod instead or as well as FKB integration?

Or would it be simpler making another dashboard with the traditional alarm card, and trigger FKB to browse to that page when the alarm changes to Pending?

Thanks in advance for any tips you can offer.
