Note about camera feature!
The camera does not work well with Fully Kiosk Browser. If you're using FKB, use the built-in camera functionality instead. It's better in every way.
I will be using FKB, so I'll be leaving this option out!
camera: true
Note about "blackout" feature
Note: This will not turn off your screen backlight. Most screens will still emit light in a dark room.
I will be attempting to use this in FKB, stay tuned.
moving on...
Add this to configuration.yaml then log out of a current session if needed and reboot/restart HA:
browser_mod:
prefix: "browsermod_"
resources:
- url: /browser_mod.js
type: module
#devices:
#99980b13-dabc9563:
#name: arrakis
#disable:
# - all
This will allow you to find devices under "devices" in the UI, prefixed with "browsermod_" and then assign an alias!
I'm going to find one specific device and then adjust mine to not add new devices for each session, as I only need this for my "kiosk":
Eg:
browser_mod:
prefix: "browsermod_"
resources:
- url: /browser_mod.js
type: module
devices:
f732772e-ab2edddf:
#name: freesoftwareservers_browsermod
name: bmodalias
disable:
- all
I then rebooted and nothing was available... so I removed "disable all" and tested again via reboot.
I tried using "name: bsmodalias" as it was shorter without "_". That worked, so I don't know the exact params, but keep your alias short & simple!
More Notes: I had issues "doing something" because I had a the wrong device-ID. Make sure to set alias ASAP and disable all. As well, note that device id may need "-" or "_" depending on where you are working.
Great, now lets do something!
I'm going to use the UI to call the navigate service and change display.
Great, but I want to open a camera entity! And script this, if you haven't setup scripts see here. Split Scripts into Multiple Files in Directory with Home-Assistant
Here is my script to open my camera card. I originally was going to add wait/close etc, but really, you want it open untill XYZ which should be handled in the automation, not this script.
bmodmore_info:
sequence:
- service: browser_mod.more_info
data:
entity_id: camera.camera_name_example
large: true
deviceID:
- bmodalias
ToDo: Add Playing Mp3 and Incoming Audio from Camera
