Can't get triggers to work

onetoomany commented 1 month ago

v5.2.0 on HA 2024.4.0

This is most likely user error, not a bug ...

I'm wanting to have a default camera view (in this case, it is a non frigate camera), which switches to a specific frigate camera based on certain conditions. I've done the simplest test, which is to try to trigger a camera based on the state of my light switch. However, the camera view does not change from "pictures" to "footpath".

Another challenge is that I want to remove the menu with the full screen button, and instead go to full screen when the image is clicked on - is this possible?

type: custom:frigate-card
cameras:
  - camera_entity: camera.pictures
  - camera_entity: camera.footpath
    triggers:
      entities:
        - switch.study_light
  - camera_entity: camera.pond
  - camera_entity: camera.parking
  - camera_entity: camera.front_garden
live:
  auto_play: all
  controls:
    next_previous:
      style: none
view:
  default: live
  camera_select: live
  timeout_seconds: 20
menu:
  buttons:
    frigate:
      enabled: false
    cameras:
      enabled: false
    substreams:
      enabled: false
    live:
      enabled: false
    clips:
      enabled: false
    media_player:
      enabled: false
    camera_ui:

You need to enable scan mode for your simple test, try adding:

...
view:
  default: live
  camera_select: live
  timeout_seconds: 20
  scan:              # <------- Added
    enabled: true    # <------- Added
...

Another challenge is that I want to remove the menu with the full screen button, and instead go to full screen when the image is clicked on - is this possible?

There are two parts to this:

Removing the menu.
Adding a card wide action to go to fullscreen mode when the image is clicked on.

The first is certainly possible now with the right by setting the menu style to none, but sadly the second has a bug at the moment being tracked here: https://github.com/dermotduffy/frigate-hass-card/issues/1402 .

Perfect - many thanks. I'll watch that defect, as that seems the final piece in my puzzle.

My use case is a cheap android tablet to work as a digital photo frame most of the time, but switches to live cameras when someone is spotted.
