more info for different entity

[pmansvelder]

I have what seems to be a simple question: in the docs for lovelace (https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/actions/) it states that you can use the more-info action with the parameter entity to get more info from a different entity than the one you are clicking on:

entity string (Optional, default: none)

Overrides the default entity to show when the action is defined as more-info

When I try to do this in the yaml file for the floorplan:

                - entities:
                    - switch.ikea_of_sweden_tradfri_control_outlet_switch_3
                  tap_action:
                    action: more-info
                    entity_id: climate.freya

I still just get the info for the main entity (switch.ikea_of_sweden_tradfri_control_outlet_switch_3) , not the one I want (climate.freya). I get no error messages in the log or console.

What am I missing here?

Any help would be appreciated.

Might not have been implemented in ha-floorplan @exetico ??

Possibly. I'll need to check the code, before I'm sure. @pmansvelder fell free to raise it as a possible bug in https://github.com/ExperienceLovelace/ha-floorplan/issues

I'll close it again, if it's due to something else, and follow up in this thread, no matter what.

Please link to this discussion in the issue, too :-)

I can't promise anything about a timeline, but I'll check as soon as I get some time to look at it.

Thanks.

If it's still relevant, please do what I've described. I'm marking this as the answer right now.

                - entities:
                    - switch.ikea_of_sweden_tradfri_control_outlet_switch_3
                  tap_action:
                    action: more-info
                    entity_id: climate.freya

Is climate.freya is the entity correctly named or is it switch.climate.freya instead?

[pmansvelder]

No, it is indeed climate.freya, and I used this entity in another place in the svg file, and that works. I have tried other entities (and also switches), but they are all ignored.
