Automation to launch screensaver

[Poli88]

Hello, I wanted to make a simple automation to start the screensaver at certain hours. So I added the below in my:

1. automation.yaml:

- alias: 'Screensaver'
  initial_state: false
  trigger:
    - platform: time_pattern
      minutes: '/1'
  action:
    - event: tileboard
      event_data:
        command: >
          {% if is_state('sensor.time', '08:00') %} 'screen_on'
          {% elif is_state('sensor.time', '00:00') %} 'screen_off'
          {% endif %}

2. config.js (events)

   {
              command: 'screen_off',
              action: function(e) {
                if (window.fully) {
                   window.fully.startScreensaver();
               }
              },
            },
            {
             command: 'screen_on',
             action: function(e) {
               if (window.fully) {
                 window.fully.stopScreensaver();
                 window.fully.bringToForeground();
               }
             },
           },

3. config.js

 screensaver: {
      slidesTimeout: 10, // 10s for one slide
      styles: { fontSize: '50px' },
      leftBottom: [{ type: SCREENSAVER_ITEMS.DATETIME }],
      slides: [
         { bg: 'images/night.jpg' }
      ]
   }, 

Could you help me to understand why the automation cannot send the screensaver command ?

First of allow need to establish if you are actually receiving the event, please try adding alert(1); right after action: function(e) {.

I've also noticed that your automation is tuned off by default (initial_state: false).

And lastly, window.fully.stopScreensaver(); is a function calling internal screensaver of Fully Kiosk browser, not TileBoard one.

still nothing. I removed the initial_state and added the alert. But nothing happens. Even if I trigger manually the automation through "Developers tools".

1. Automation (I modified it in order to manually fire the event):

- alias: 'Screensaver'
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.home_mode
    from: "on"
    to: "off"
  action:
    - event: tileboard
      event_data:
        command: 'screen_off

2. Config.js (events)

   {
              command: 'screen_off',
              action: function(e) {
                alert(1);
                if (window.fully) {
                   window.fully.startScreensaver();
               }
              },
            },
            {
             command: 'screen_on',
             action: function(e) {
               alert(1);
               if (window.fully) {
                 window.fully.stopScreensaver();
                 window.fully.bringToForeground();
               }
             },

   I'm actually running home assistant on 7" display in kiosk mode. But I would like to trigger the screensaver of tileboard... So no event received...what could be the issue ?
