# `actions`
|
|
|
|
## Introduction to actions
|
|
|
|
`actions` is not a top-level configuration block, but can be used as part of
|
|
multiple other blocks.
|
|
|
|
Actions are pre-configured activities that can be triggered in response to a
|
|
variety of circumstances (e.g. tapping on a menu icon, double tapping on an
|
|
[element](./elements.md) or holding the mouse/tap down on a particular
|
|
[view](./view.md?id=supported-views)).
|
|
|
|
### Differences in actions between Frigate Card and Home Assistant
|
|
|
|
Both the Home Assistant frontend and the Frigate card cooperate to provide
|
|
action functionality. In general, the Frigate Card functionality is a superset
|
|
of that offered by stock Home Assistant.
|
|
|
|
Stock action functionality is used for Stock [Home Assistant picture
|
|
elements](https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-elements/). Extended
|
|
Frigate card behavior covers all other interactions on the Frigate card (e.g.
|
|
menu icon elements, submenus and actions on the card or views).
|
|
|
|
#### Custom action types: `start_tap` and `end_tap`
|
|
|
|
The card has partial support for two special action types `start_tap` and
|
|
`end_tap` which occur when a tap is started (e.g. mouse is pressed down /
|
|
touch begins), and ended (e.g. mouse released / touch ends) respectively. This
|
|
might be useful for PTZ cameras cameras to start/stop movement on touch. Network
|
|
latency may introduce unavoidable imprecision between `end_tap` and action
|
|
actually occurring.
|
|
|
|
#### Multiple actions
|
|
|
|
Extended Frigate card behavior supports a list of actions instead of a single
|
|
action, all of which will be handled. See [an example of multiple
|
|
actions](../examples.md?id=multiple-actions).
|
|
|
|
## Card and view actions
|
|
|
|
Actions may be attached to the card itself, to trigger action when the card
|
|
experiences a `tap`, `double_tap`, `hold`, `start_tap` or `end_tap` event.
|
|
Alternatively they can be configured on a per group-of-views basis, e.g. only
|
|
when `live` view is tapped.
|
|
|
|
| Configuration path | Views to which it refers |
|
|
| - | - |
|
|
| `image.actions` | `image` |
|
|
| `live.actions` | `live` |
|
|
| `media_gallery.actions` | `clips`, `snapshots`, `recordings` |
|
|
| `media_viewer.actions` | `clip`, `snapshot`, `recording` |
|
|
| `view.actions` | All |
|
|
|
|
If an action is configured for both the whole card (`view.actions`) and a more
|
|
specific view (e.g. `live.actions`) then the actions are merged, with the more
|
|
specific overriding the less specific.
|
|
|
|
!> The card itself relies on user interactions to function (e.g. `tap` on
|
|
the menu should activate that button). Card or View actions are prevented from
|
|
being activated through standard interaction with menu buttons, next/previous
|
|
controls, thumbnails, etc, but in some cases this prevention is not possible
|
|
(e.g. embedded WebRTC card controls) -- in these cases duplicate actions may
|
|
occur with certain configurations (e.g. `tap`).
|
|
|
|
!> Card-wide actions are not supported on timelines nor when a info/error message
|
|
is being displayed.
|
|
|
|
