Action tile

A button that sends one command, such as a scene; it shows no state.

In a dashboard file: "type": "action", with the options below. Every tile also has the fields under Every tile.

Example

A tile, as it goes in a screen’s tiles:

{
    "type": "action",
    "label": "Charge now",
    "layout": { "x": 1, "y": 1, "width": 1, "height": 1 },
    "dataSource": { "connection": "demo", "params": { "device": "ev-charger" } },
    "options": { "command": "mode", "argument": "now", "icon": "car-bolt" }
}

It reads the demo home: in a dashboard with the connection "demo": { "driver": "demo", "config": {} }, it works as it is. To read a device of your own, its data source names one of your connections, with the params of that connection’s driver (Connections and data sources).

Options
