Hi everyone!
I’m happy to share Actions Card - a wrapper card that has the possibility to add a tap-action, hold action and / or double-tap action to any card you want!
Why I Created This Card
I noticed that many (custom) cards don’t support interactive actions, or I wanted to override their default behavior. For example, entity cards show the more-info dialog when tapped, but what if you want them to navigate to another view instead? My use-case was a custom camera card that did not support a tap-action, so I created my own custom card to achieve this.
Features
- Add tap, hold, and double-tap actions to ANY card
- Multiple action types:
- Toggle entities
- Navigate to other views
- Open URLs
- Call services
- Show more-info dialogs
- Open the Assist dialog
- Fire custom DOM events
- Optional confirmation dialogs
- Configurable hold time
- Can prevent / override default entity dialogs
- Full visual editor support
Every Home Assistant action is supported!
You have a simple markdown card and you want to add an action? It's possible with this card.
You have a card and you don't like to native tap action? Wrap it in this custom card and replace the action.
You have a card which doesn't support actions? Wrap it in this card and configure an action.
There are alot of possibilities with this card.
