Tap_action and url's

Configuration Frontend
1

I am trying to get a card to open a web page when clicked to my printer management interface. I cannot seem to make it work in any way.

type: glance
title: Canon Laser (192.168.1.13)
show_name: false
tap_action:
  action: url
  url_path: 192.168.1.13
entities:
  - sensor.cnmf642c_643c_644c

The complaint in the editor:

Expected a value of type `undefined` for `tap_action` but received `{"action":"url","url_path":"192.168.1.13"}`.

Is this even possible?

2

Try;

url_path: http://192.168.1.13
3

That change results in this error and no action:

Expected a value of type `undefined` for `tap_action` but received `{"action":"url","url_path":"http://192.168.1.13"}`.

Is nobody using the feature?

@mattlward did you find a solution for this?

No, i can make a basic button work. But, title: and name: do not work. Only the printer icon is displayed. This is from the front end editor

type: button
show_name: false
tap_action:
  action: url
  url_path: 'http://192.168.1.13'
entity: sensor.cnmf642c_643c_644c
icon_height: 30px
title: Canon Laser Web Interface
name: Canon Laser Web Interface

My unified printer pane does not even try to work with it…

Try it without the “_path”. Also try adding “new_tab” also.
Mine works like that:

tap_action:
  action: url
  url: 'http://192.168.1.13'
  new_tab: true

It looks there is a documentation error or they’re missing info?

No change… I am not completely sure what I should click on… I think it would be one of the items in the box. I assume it is something in the structure of the card.

cards:
  - cards:
      - entities:
          - sensor.cnmf642c_643c_644c
        show_name: false
        tap_action:
          action: url
          url: http://192.168.1.13
          new_tab: true

From the 1st post in this thread people are trying to do smth what is not supported.
Tap_action is only supported for an entity inside Glance card, not for the whole card !!!
This is wrong:

type: glance
entities:
  - entity: sun.sun
tap_action:
  action: url
  url_path: https://www.home-assistant.io

This does work:

type: glance
entities:
  - entity: sun.sun
    tap_action:
      action: url
      url_path: https://www.home-assistant.io

RTFM
