Tap or hold_action to display an input_number

Configuration
1

I’ve got a temperature reading displayed on one of my picture-elements cards and I’d like to be able to tap or long press it and then have it’s associated input_number slider pop-up. I know I could navigate to a different view and have the input_slider there, but is there a way to have it pop-up on the existing view?

Any thoughts to get me moving in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks

The easiest way to achieve this with current configurations would be to do the following:

  1. Create an input_select. The options would be related to what you want to have appear on the screen for the UI.
  2. Create conditional cards that appear based on the input_select’s state.
  3. Change your tap-actions to call a service that selects the correct input_select option.

input_select

input_select:
  interface:
    name: What is displayed in the UI
    options:
      - None
      - ObjectA
      - ObjectB
    initial: None

conditional card

- type: conditional
  conditions:
    - entity: input_select.interface
      state: "ObjectA"
  card:
    type: entities
    entities:
      - light.object_a

tap-action on, hold-action off

tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: input_select.select_option
  service_data:
    entity_id: input_select.interface
    option: "ObjectA"
hold_action:
  action: call-service
  service: input_select.select_option
  service_data:
    entity_id: input_select.interface
    option: "None"

Thanks petro, I thought conditional cards might be the way forward. That’s a great idea to set the state of the card from the tap_action, really helpful!

Now I’ve got a starting point I’ll search to see if there’s a way to stack a conditional card on-top of a picture element card.

Thanks very much
