Card to Type text to Send to TIDBYT

[roomonthethird]

Hello!

Made a quick card that allows you to send any text to the TIDBYT using notify-card:

type: custom:notify-card
label: Enter text
card_title: Send a Message!
notification_title: null
action: tidbytassistant.text
data:
  message: $MSG
  font: tb-8
  color: '#fff'
  content: $MSG
  texttype: scrolling
  devicename: your device name

I'm still new to HA, so if anyone knows how to make it so there are drop downs for selecting text, color and type, that would be sick!

This is not an issue related to this integration but I’ll help you out. You have to create input_select helpers for each field, and enter all the possible inputs for said field. So if you name your input_select for font input_select.tidbyt_font you do this in the yaml:

font: “{{states(‘input_select.tidbyt_font’)}}”

Then put those helpers on your dashboard. There should be a card for it.

Sounds good! Meant to post as an enhancement not an issue. Sorry! Thanks for the help.
