Hey all, trying to set up the browser mod but not getting the expected result I am looking for. I am still fairly new to the HA world and hoping someone can tell me what I am doing wrong / point me in the right direction. I set up a helper to use a button to open the camera to a full screen camera view, but it’s just taking to me a picture entity that only updates every 10 seconds. I am hoping for it to go full screen and possibly vertical if that’s an option. Would appreciate any help and or suggestions.
Browser Mod just laods cards in a popup. So its likely that you would see the same with the card / camera combination on a regular dashbord. So you can test this and make sure you are happy with how your camera works with cards. Suggest you take a look at custom:webrtc-camera cardas an alternative. You may also try browser_mod.more_info for the camera entity using large parameter. Then you get the stock camera view which may work better.
Not possible via automation in the way you think as native browser fullscreen requires user interaction. custom:webrtc-camera has a fullscreen button, so it would be one click to get true fullscreen if you were walking by and needed a bit extra zoom.
The view should match the orientation of your device.
Thank you! I will look into your suggestions! Appreciate it!
