URL Actions

It is possible to pass the Frigate card one or more actions from the URL (e.g. select a particular camera, open the live view in expanded mode, etc).

When actions are executed

The Frigate card will execute these actions in the following circumstances:

• On initial card load.
• On 'tab' change in a dashboard.
• When a navigate action is called on the dashboard (e.g. a button click requests navigation).
• When the user uses the back / forward browser buttons whilst viewing a dashboard.

Instructions

To send an action to all Frigate Cards on a dashboard:

[PATH_TO_YOUR_HA_DASHBOARD]?frigate-card-action.[ACTION]=[VALUE]

To send an action to a specific named Frigate Card:

[PATH_TO_YOUR_HA_DASHBOARD]?frigate-card-action.[CARD_ID].[ACTION]=[VALUE]

Parameter	Description
ACTION	One of the supported Frigate Card custom actions. See below.
CARD_ID	When specified only cards that have a card_id parameter will act.
VALUE	An optional value to use with the camera_select and live_substream_select actions.

?> Both . and : may be used as the delimiter. If you use : some browsers may require it be escaped to %3A.

!> If a dashboard has multiple Frigate cards on it, even if they are on different 'tabs' within that dashboard, they will all respond to the actions unless the action is targeted with a CARD_ID as shown above.
