Unable to get dashboard navigation with AppDaemon dash_navigate to work

Third party integrations HADashboard
1

I am trying to navigate to a dashboard on an event. Although I think I’m sending the command correctly, nothing is happening. Could someone troubleshoot as to what I’m doing wrong? Am I missing something obvious or need to enable some other setting or install another package?

  • I have my Android Home Assistant App and a Chrome web browser on my laptop open to a dashboard named “Main” at url “/lovelace-main”
  • I am using AppDaemon to send the following commands. The target dashboard is named test at url ‘/test-dashboard’. None of the following commands cause any change in the Android app or Chrome browser. I’ve verified with app daemon logs that I’m actually triggering that code to run.
self.dash_navigate("/test-dashboard")
self.dash_navigate("test-dashboard")
self.dash_navigate("test")

I’ve also tried a script in the UI with similar variations.

event: hadashboard
event_data:
  command: navigate
  target: test

This is using a new installation of Home Assistant 2022.2.9 and the built-in Lovelace.

Ah, I see what I was missing. This only works with the dashboards built into AppDaemon. I was hoping to get this to work with the built-in Lovelace dashboards in Home Assistant. The descriptions of HADashboard talk about “beautiful and functional” but the examples all look about as beautiful as a dead grizzly.

Edit:
I see that this is possible with: https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-state-switch
