I am looking to have a button on my home assistant dashboard which displays a mail icon next to the rest of my buttons. When my mailbox opens I want the mail icon to illuminate as well as an AOL “You’ve got mail” audio file to play on either a spare speaker connected to my raspberry pi, my google home speakers, or just directly through the amazon fire 7 that is wall mounted running fully kiosk. Clicking the button, dismisses the illuminated icon returning it to its “ghosted” state awaiting for the next mail delivery. I have found several threads across different websites but nothing with definitive instructions. I am still learning, so I have been heavily dependent on YouTube tutorials that I can follow along with. Is this something that out of my league, or more simple then I think it is? I appreciate in advance any help that you can provide.
Check the Custom Button Card: https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card. Loads of examples which should you help you on your way. Audio: go Text-To-Speech: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/tts/ I had to set the base_url value to get it to work.
Do you mind narrowing down the custom card I would be utilizing to get the icon to hold until manually reset? I am completely lost.
