Use the custom:popup-card-runner dashboard card to show reminders or alerts as a popup on your wall-mountedd dashboard.
This system supports two kinds of popups:
You can create a todo list entity of tasks to appear as popup cards.
To do this:
-
Create a todo list entity using any integration
- Use Local Todo for simplicity, or use Google Tasks so you can add by voice using Google Home devices.
- Or use your favorite todo platform.
-
In your wall-mounted dashboard, add the following custom card:
type: custom:popup-card-runner todo_entity_id: todo.your_tasks
-
Optional: To automatically add an emoji for each todo (will be rendered as an icon in the card), add the following automation:
GenAI Emoji Automation
Change `your_tasks` to your todo entities. You can change to your favorite LLM. ```yaml alias: "Popup Cards: Populate todo emojis" description: "" triggers: - trigger: state entity_id: - todo.aviva_tasks - todo.dev_todo_system - trigger: time_pattern minutes: /30 conditions: [] actions: - action: todo.get_items metadata: {} data: status: needs_action target: entity_id: - todo.aviva_tasks - todo.dev_todo_system response_variable: todos - repeat: sequence: - variables: todo_entity_id: "{{ repeat.item }}" - repeat: sequence: - variables: details: "{{ repeat.item.description | default('{}') | from_json }}" generated_from: "v1: {{ repeat.item.summary }}" - alias: If we need an emoji if: - condition: template value_template: |- {{ repeat.item.status == 'needs_action' and ( 'emoji' not in details or details.generated_from != generated_from ) }} then: - action: google_generative_ai_conversation.generate_content metadata: {} data: prompt: >- Pick an emoji for the task "{{ repeat.item.summary }}". Your response should consist of one or two emoji characters and no other text response_variable: ai - action: todo.update_item metadata: {} data: | {# If I pass item: {{ template }} as YAML, the template result gets trimmed, which breaks if there is trailing whitespace. #} {{ { "item": repeat.item.summary, "description": dict(details, **{ 'generated_from': generated_from, 'emoji': ai.text | trim }) | to_json, } }} target: entity_id: "{{ todo_entity_id }}" for_each: "{{ todos[todo_entity_id]['items'] }}" for_each: "{{ todos | list }}" ``` </details>
Popup todo cards use the Due field to mean "Snooze until". If a todo has a due date/time, its popup card will not appear until after that time. For todo lists that don't support times (eg, Google Tasks), the system can store due times in the description field to allow time-based snoozing anyway.
Each todo card will offer buttons to snooze to any day in the next week.
You can also create an Input Select and/or a Template Sensor named Snooze Times with a list of times (eg, 8:00 PM; must have exactly this format). Todo popup cards will then offer a Today at... menu to snooze to any of those times (that are not in the past).
Use an Input Select to easily adjust the list of times. Use a template sensor (which must render an array in the options attribute) if you want to dynamically compute the set of snooze options in a Jinja template.
You can mark a todo as urgent from the action menu in the popup card (this is stored in the description). Snoozing a todo to a specific time today also marks as urgent.
Set show_urgent_todos_only: true in the card config (or for a specific browser in browsers:) to only show popup cards marked urgent.
You can create your own popup cards linked to entities, and provide a sensor that specifies which entities to show cards for.
To do this:
-
Create a template sensor (eg,
sensor.popup_cards) that exposes a JSON array of entity IDs that should appear as popups. -
Create a hidden dashboard with the URL
popup-cards(must match exactly) and add a card (I recommend button_card) for each of those entities. -
In your wall-mounted dashboard, add the following custom card:
type: custom:popup-card-runner card_list_entity_id: sensor.popup_cards
Template Sensors
Here are some sample template sensors to generate the list of active popup cards:
template:
- sensor:
name: Popup Cards
icon: "mdi:alert-box-outline"
state: |
{%- set ns = namespace(warnings = [
'cover.garage_door' if is_state('cover.garage_door', 'open'),
]) -%}
{%- if is_state('lock.front_door_lock', 'unlocked')
and (now().hour >= 22 or now().hour < 7) -%}
{%- set ns.warnings = ns.warnings + ['lock.front_door_lock'] -%}
{%- endif -%}
{# Automatically include all vacuums that have problems. #}
{# Use the camera entity with the map for the card. #}
{%- set ns.warnings = ns.warnings +
expand(states.vacuum)
| selectattr('state', 'in', ['error', 'paused', 'idle'])
| map(attribute = 'entity_id')
| map('replace', 'vacuum.', 'camera.')
| map('regex_replace', '$', '_map')
| list
-%}
{{- ns.warnings | select('defined') | list | to_json -}}
- name: Reminder Popup Cards
# Include all input_booleans named `Reminder: ...` that aren't turned on.
# Write automations to turn off each boolean to set a reminder, and click
# the popup card to mark it as completed. You can also combine this with
# the previous example.
state: |
{{
states.input_boolean
| selectattr('entity_id', 'contains', '.reminder_')
| selectattr('state', 'eq', 'on')
| map(attribute = 'entity_id')
| list
| to_json
}}
- name: Urgent Popup Cards
# Use this sensor to display a subset of popup cards on a particular dashboard.
state: |
{{
states('sensor.popup_cards')
| from_json
| select('in', label_entities('Urgent Popup Cards'))
| list
| to_json
}}Cards
Here are sample cards to include in the Popup Cards dashboard.type: custom:button-card

name: Take out the garbage!

display_mode:popup(default): Show a popup when there are any cards, as described above.vertical-stack: Show all active cards in a vertical stack directly in the dashboard.horizontal-stack: Same as vertical-stack, but show horizontally (wrapping to a new line if they don't fit).
-
move_to_list_ids: One or more todo list entity IDs. Todo popup cards will offer a menu option to move todos to each of these lists. -
reopen_delay_ms: If the popup is dismissed (by clicking the background), automatically reopen it after waiting this long.- If this is omitted or set to
0, the popup will not reopen until the dashboard is refreshed or a new popup card appears. - This has no effect if
display_modeis notpopup.
- If this is omitted or set to
-
browser_ids:A list of browser_mod Browser IDs (get these strings from the Browser Mod control panel). If specified, the popup will only appear on these browsers.-
Use this to make popups only appear on some screens.
-
You can also pass an object to customize behavior for some browsers (eg, only show urgent cards in a front hallway):
browser_ids: - Kitchen - browser_id: Front Hallway card_list_entity_id: sensor.urgent_popup_cards todo_entity_id: null # Don't show any todos # or show_urgent_todos_only: true
