Added tap_action support

[codemunkie15]

Added tap_action support using the below method:

https://developers.home-assistant.io/blog/2023/07/07/action-event-custom-cards/

I have not implemented hold_action or double_tap_action because they interfere with the video player and need more thorough investigation.

Note that on touchscreen devices (mobile/tablet) you have to set ui: true for tap_action to work otherwise the html5 video controls swallow the click events. If you don't want to see the custom UI like me, you can easily hide it with a style:

style: ".ui { display: none }"

I tested this PR on my install and it works great 👍

[AlexxIT]

Thanks. This really works for PC, but I don't like idea of different behaviour for PC and Mobile.
Maybe this should work only for custom UI.

That would be fine for me. Let me know what you decide and I can update the PR. Should I also add the changes to the documentation, or do you prefer to do that?

will this allow for showing the video in fullscreen with a single tap?

Yes. I use it with a fullscreen browser_mod popup with another webrtc-camera card.

Yes. I use it with a fullscreen browser_mod popup with another webrtc-camera card.

I have a static image 99.9% of the time (updated whenever) but a button at the bottom left of my cards to go live at any point.

I'm looking for this exact thing. However, I'm not a coder so I'm not understanding. Is there some YAML here I should add to the card, or does the developer have to add as a feature?

[Marmeladenkopf]

hello, i would be very grateful for help, it is not possible for me to get tap_action to work in a custom:webrtc-camera card.

What am I doing wrong here? I am on the completely wrong track?

type: custom:webrtc-camera
title: ****
url: ****
ui: true
style: '.ui { display: none } .mode {display: none}'
tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: browser_mod.popup
  data:
    ****

(please ignore formatting - did not know how to get this right in this post)

@codemunkie15 I copied your modified webrtc-camera.js over the /homeassistant/custom_components/webrtc/www/webrtc-camera.js and added tap_action to my config (I want to open a different Lovelace tab when I tap), but nothing happens. Any advise to make it work? Thanks.

type: custom:webrtc-camera
entity: camera.doorbell_generic_hd
tap_action:
  action: navigate
  navigation_path: /lovelace/gate

@uspino2
somehow it works now for me, opening the stream in a pop up. - maybe it will help you.

not sure what has changed?!?

type: custom:webrtc-camera
url: rtsp://***/mpeg/media.amp
style: '.ui { display: none } .mode {display: none}'
ui: true
title: Vordereingang
poster: https://findlogovector.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/doorbird-logo-vector.png
tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: browser_mod.popup
  data:
      dismissable: true
      autoclose: false
      size: wide
      content:
          type: custom:webrtc-camera
           style: '.ui { display: none } .mode {display: none}'
           url: rtsp://***/mpeg/media.amp
           ui: true
      style: '--mdc-theme-surface: transparent; '

@AlexxIT Can you let me know how you want to proceed with this, to get it merged please?

[AlexxIT]

A'll check when I have time.

[fuhckos-98]

I've added this to my personal HA, but having trouble getting it to work no matter where I tap.. Not sure if I'm missing something?

tap_action:
action: call-service
service: camera.turn_on
service_data:
entity_id: camera.front1

@codemunkie15 I understand this pr hasn't been merged yet... Does it work if applied to the latest releas? Thanks.

[codemunkie15]

@codemunkie15 I understand this pr hasn't been merged yet... Does it work if applied to the latest releas? Thanks.

Yes, still working fine for me on the latest release.

Yes, still working fine for me on the latest release.

I added these lines from your pr to custom_components/webrtc/www/webrtc-camera.js:

        const mode = this.querySelector('.mode');
        mode.addEventListener('click', () => this.nextStream(true));


        const player = this.querySelector('.player');

        // Tap action
        player.addEventListener('click', e => {
            if (this.config.tap_action && this.config.tap_action.action) {
                this.handleAction("tap", this.config);
                e.preventDefault();
            }
        });


        if (this.config.muted) this.video.muted = true;
        if (this.config.poster_remote) this.video.poster = this.config.poster;
    }


    handleAction(action, config) {
        const event = new Event("hass-action", {
            bubbles: true,
            composed: true,
          });

          event.detail = {
            config: config,
            action: action
          }

          this.dispatchEvent(event);
    }


    renderDigitalPTZ() {
        if (this.config.digital_ptz === false) return;

and then this to Lovelace:

type: custom:webrtc-camera
url: rtsp://10.10.10.44:8554/DoorbellWithMic?video=all&audio=all
ui: true
media: video
style: >-
  video {aspect-ratio: 4/3; object-fit: cover;} .pictureinpicture {display:
  none} .screenshot {display: none} .mode {display: none}
tap_action:
  action: navigate
  navigation_path: /lovelace/front

...and still no tap_action when pressed. Anything I might be doing wrong? Thank you!

[uspino2]

@codemunkie15 I correct myself: I had to clear the cache on every browser to make it work. Thanks!
