remote_control

The remote_control configuration options control how a card instance can be remotely controlled.

remote_control:
  # [...]

entities

Sets entities that are used to control different aspects of the card.

remote_control:
  entities:
    # [...]

Option	Default	Description
camera		An input_select entity that the card will use for bidirectional control. When the selected camera on the card changes the entity will be updated to match. Likewise, when the entity state changes, the selected camera on the card will be updated to match. When the card is first started, the input_select entity will be updated to only have valid camera IDs from this card and the selected camera on the card will be updated to the existing entity value. Entities used for camera remote control must start with input_select..
camera_priority	card	Controls whether the card or the entity has priority on initial card load. If card, the entity state is updated to match the camera shown on load. If entity, the card will select the camera shown by the entity on load.

Note

To create an input_select entity to use in this manner, in the visual card editor, under Remote Control -> Remote Control Entities, choose Create a new Dropdown helper. Give the new entity an entity name (e.g. my_selected_camera) and an optional icon. You must specify at least one option -- you can use any placeholder value (e.g. camera) then choose Add (the card will automatically reset the allowable options on start). Finally, click Create.
