A card that simplifies TV interaction from HomeAssistant

Touchpad Card for Homeassistant for samsung tv

With this card you can control your samsung smart tv like with your normal physical remote.

Take a look:

Features:

• Functional touchpad;
• Customizable doubleclick and hold actions(using ui-editor);
• Haptic feedback;
• Anything can be changed using the ui-editor;
• Every icon can be changed trought the ui-editor;
• Holding on volume or channel buttons will trigger the action repeatedly until stop holding;
• Double click or hold action can be a script or a automation and can be selected using the editor;
• The card will change the top icon to the current source image if available;
• Double click on top part of the card to open more info dialog about the media player entity;

New features:

• One card, multiple remotes;
• Add/Remove/Move entities to the card;
• Swipe on top part of card(name area) to switch to next entity;
• The card can now work with the default homeassistant integration, thanks to the remote entity created by homeassistant;
• Now you can change click action,and because of that you can now integrate tv's that dont work with service calls like remote.send_command || media_player.send_key, by creating scripts and setting them as click action in the card editor;

note

1. Create a separate view for the card, and set it to panel mode(1 card) (VERY RECOMENDED)
2. No need to write any yaml,all settings are available in the ui-editor(:sparkles:)

Request for help

Request for help. I know this is probably not the place I should write but I don't really know where to write. The card looks very impressive, I would love to use it, but my knowledge is still probably too small. I installed the Samsung Smart TV repository. I configured them with the TV's IP address, name and token generated as instructed. And the integration works I installed your add-on. In configuration, I selected an entity from Samsung Smart TV Integration, but I have information about setting up a custom component, and how do I configure it? Sorry for my english and please help me. I will just add that my TV is a Samsung series 7 and was produced after 2016 and it is Tizen

The dropdown list not working

The dropdown list to choose the entity not working
Even when you edit with yaml not working.

New Remote UI

Hi iablon, I wasn't sure how to contact you, so I opened up an issue to get your attention.

Before you released your Touchpad Card, I was looking for something very similar to work with the Samsung TV Smart Integration; I'm also using Ollo's fork. As there wasn't anything available, I made a remote UI myself with mushroom template cards as I still need to learn how to make full-blown integrations or custom cards. Thus, since I already went through the long process of testing, designing, etc, with my own remote UI. I hope sharing my code will help you with your custom touchpad card.

Selecting an entity from the dropdown does not provide any options

Selecting an entity from the dropdown does not provide any options to configure, it provides a message to say i must define a entity even if a entity is selected

Does not show up on lovelace

Hi @iablon ,

Thanks for your work. I just installed and enabled Ollo's integration and then added the card from HACS Frontend. It looks like it installed properly, but I cannot find it in the list of cards in Lovelace when I click Add Card. I think I probably might be missing something.

Touchpad on iOS devices

The touchpad doesn't appear on my iPad in iOS companion app. And on my iPhone the touchpad area is very small.
