close popup after time x

[simaovienna]

hello, is it possible to call the browser_mod.close_popup service with a delay when opening a popup to auto close it when its not closed by the user?

thanks

That would be very cool indeed

Outline for how this could work (from someone who doesn't know how browser-mod works at all):
When the popup is called, setTimeout is called. It has a reference to the popup object. If the user closes the popup, or another popup opens, clearTimeout is called, using the timeout's id.

Since the auto close feature was added way back when... I have been using the browser_mod.close_popup service at the end of my popup scripts with a delay of 'x' minutes and also browser_mod.close_popup at the beginning of each popup script so they don't have any conflicts when the new one is called. E.g. a motion sensor triggers, fires script for camera popup with auto close, then delay kicks in for preset minutes, then closes if no one has manually closed it. Simple, but effective.

browser_popup_2:
  sequence:
    - condition: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.disable_inside_popups
      state: "off"
    - service: browser_mod.close_popup
    - service: browser_mod.more_info
      data:
        entity_id: camera.entry_hall
        large: true
    - service: tts.google_say
      data:
        entity_id:
          - media_player.pixel_fully
      data_template:
        message: "Entry hall motion detected!"
    - service: input_select.select_option
      data:
        entity_id: input_select.alert_type
        option: alert
    - delay: "00:00:20"
    - service: input_select.select_option
      data:
        entity_id: input_select.alert_type
        option: stop
    - delay: "00:02:00"
    - service: browser_mod.close_popup

thanks for your replies - is there a way to call a script here?

action: fire-dom-event
browser_mod:
command: popup
title: >
[[[ return entity.attributes.friendly_name; ]]]

or do i have to put the whole code in a script? i am a little bit lost here...

[Dino-Tech]

I have always used scripts for my popups. The only time I have used fire-dom-event is when there is a need to open a popup from a popup that is already opened. Anyone feel free to correct me on this...I'm a bit rusty here. There are plenty of structured examples of almost every possible type of popup located within my repo. I think I was around 100+ various types and styles of popups listed and still used in my HA setup at home.

Thanks @Dino-Tech I will give it a try...

update, for me this additional code does the trick:

tap_action:
  services: >
    [[[
      hass.callService('script', 'turn_on', {
        entity_id: 'script.close_popup'
      });
    ]]]
