Actions trigger the more-info window

[mgiako]

Hi,

I have this entity:

which checks the status and can restart an ESP32 on esphome

the code is:

              - entity: binary_sensor.trackerterrazzaconnected
                show_state: false
                icon: mdi:car-esp
                type: custom:multiple-entity-row
                name: Terrazza
                entities:
                  - entity: sensor.trackerterrazza_signal
                    state_color: true
                    name: RSSI

                  - entity: sensor.trackerterrazza_uptime
                    state_color: true
                    name: uptime
                    format: total

                  - entity: binary_sensor.trackerterrazzaconnected
                    icon: mdi:wifi
                    state_color: true
                    name: false
                    tap_action:
                      action: call-service
                      service: switch.turn_on
                      service_data:
                        entity_id: switch.trackerterrazzarestart
                      confirmation:
                        text: "Restart ESP Terrazza?"

Since 2021.12.b0 (and still now on 2021.12.0) when I click on the wifi icon the action is performed but it also opens the more-info window of the main element: binary_sensor.trackerterrazzaconnected.
The window opens even if I click cancel in the confirmation.

I have other similar entities, and it happens on all of them, except on those that have an input text as their main entity.

It did not happen with HA 2021.11.5.

Thanks

I have exactly the same problem, so I've looked for other options.

My temporary solution works only on desktop and it disables the more-info of the main element, but you can use the entities normally.

tap_action: none
hold_action: none
double_tap_action: none

Hope a more permanent solution is found.

[GuGu927]

Here's same problem.
Click entity at "entities" section dose not work.
Just main entity is poped up.

[GuGu927]

@bkbilly Thanks. Can use entities, but not entity.

[bkbilly]

Yeah, I couldn't find a solution for that. It disables all actions of the main element binary_sensor.trackerterrazzaconnected.

[gumileeev]

Same problem. When you click on an additional element, the main element window opens. When clicked, all elements of the group are selected.
This is true for the mobile version of the android, the browser is chrome.

[NickM-27]

I am having this issue as well, not sure if it is an issue for this plugin to solve or an issue for HA to solve?

[ildar170975]

The plugin was not changed.
HA changed.
Probably there are some general changes regarding handling actions.

[NickM-27]

Right, but it could be a bug introduced by HA update or it could be HA updated the requirements and the plug-in needs to accommodate that new change

[ildar170975]

Absolutely agree.
Let's wait for the plugin's author.
Hope he will help us.

[NickM-27]

I might be able to submit a PR if I find time tomorrow after work. I took a look tonight and I see the plug-in relies on custom-card-helper for clickHelper so it's possible that's where the issue lies. Can't tell if that comes from HA or somewhere else yet.

[NickM-27]

Looks like that is a dependency that comes from here: https://github.com/custom-cards/custom-card-helpers

[TobiasSchwarz74]

Hi,
i have the same issue, but found out, that as long, as the main entity is a switch or light domain, everything works fine.
As soon, as the main entity is any other domain (i.e. a binary_sensor), tap actions on entities are no longer working on touch devices.
On a desktop everything works fine with a mouse!

Example:
The first row uses a switch as main entity - tap_action works fine.
The second row uses a binary_sensor (i.e. a template sensor to customize the icon and state depending on the state of a different entity) - tap_action does not work since 2021.12.

type: entities
entities:
  - type: custom:multiple-entity-row
    entity: switch.switch_1
    show_state: false
    tap_action: none
    entities:
      - entity: switch.switch_1
        tap_action:
          action: toggle
  - type: custom:multiple-entity-row
    entity: binary_sensor.binary_sensor_1
    show_state: false
    tap_action: none
    entities:
      - entity: switch.switch_1
        tap_action:
          action: toggle

Switching back to HA 2021.11.5, everything works fine again!!

[NickM-27]

@TobiasSchwarz74 Wow yeah I see the same thing, that is very odd but a great clue

[TobiasSchwarz74]

@NickM-27 took me half of the day to find out in which situations this happens ;-)

[NickM-27]

I found something else interesting too. When I have the click action as more-info and I click on a sensor different to the main entity, the title of the more-info popup is the same as the main entity however the graph actually shows the correct information

If you wait a few seconds it will switch the graph to the main entity

[chengjwk]

It appears to be working for me now with 2021.12.2

[bkbilly]

I've also updated on the new version 2021.12.2 and I've reloaded lovelace, but I still can't get the more-info appear on the other entities.

[NickM-27]

I also updated and am still seeing the issue

[Arman-GeDon]

Of course updating HA will fix nothing. The card needs to be adjusted to HA changes in release 2021.12.x

[chengjwk]

I'm not sure what to say. I've upgraded and the card is back to working they way it was prior to this bug appearing.

[TobiasSchwarz74]

No, still not working with 2021.12.2

[benct]

HA added a new action handler on the generic-entity-row which (intentionally or not) intercepts clicks on any additional entities added with multiple-entity-row. It still works as normal with some entity domains (like switch or light) because they disable this action handler for these specific domains.

Working on finding a workaround for this..

[TobiasSchwarz74]

Very interesting, why this changed behavior is only visible on touch devices and can't be seen on a desktop controlled with a mouse?!

[Arman-GeDon]

It's visible on a desktop controlled with a mouse

[tomlut]

Latest update fixed this for me. Thank you!

EDIT: Yeah only on desktop. Mobile still has the issue (iOS).

[NickM-27]

@Arman-GeDon Your code snippet does not show specific tap actions set for the entities (which might m be required for more info to show on switches). A screen recording might be helpful, otherwise it's not clear why desktop isn't working for you

[ildar170975]

Desktop, Win10x64, Chrome:
works fine

iPad Air 2 (iOS 15.x):
tapping on secondary entities leads to more-info for the main entity

iPhone 5S (iOS 12.x):
tapping on secondary entities :

• either leads to more-info for the this entity
• or does nothing

P.S. I stopped thinking about iOS companion app, it seems too buggy for me.

[Arman-GeDon]

@NickM-27
My bad, you're right. I was wrongly using attributes and not entities for sensors, which of course leads to main entity (attributes don't have history).
Desktop browser works

[kineticscreen]

Yep fixed on desktop, but not only does it still open up more-info on the Android app, but it doesn't also do the tap action.

[matze338]

Still Not Work on configurations with climate entities 😕

entity: climate.wohnzimmer_rechts
type: custom:multiple-entity-row
show_state: true
attribute: temperature
unit: °C
styles:
  width: 50px
entities:
  - entity: sensor.wohnzimmer
    name: false
    styles:
      width: 50px
  - entity: sensor.wohnzimmer_2
    name: false
    styles:
      width: 50px

[kineticscreen]

Oh yeah sorry mine was with a climate entity too.

[guidokieboom]

Does not yet work with 4.3.0 on mobile device (iOS).
Works different with 4.3.0 on desktop (Safari). Attribute result is now different. See screenshots (first one is from iOS; second is from desktop-Safari)

[j9brown]

Thanks for looking into this issue. I noticed that the paper-buttons-row plugin which is quite similar to multiple-entity-row seems to be immune to the problem. Perhaps we could learn something from how it wires up its action handlers.

[benct]

@guidokieboom Could you create a separate issue? That seems not directly related to this issue.

That card appends the content to a new row, and does so in a completely differently way than here, unfortunately.

[benct]

There will likely come a fix for this issue from HA, soon. See #10961 for more info.

[NickM-27]

Awesome, glad to see it.

[NickM-27]

@benct I see that the frontend fix mentioned made it into 2021.12.4 today. I updated but unfortunately am still seeing this issue on mobile, not sure if it still requires a fix on the this integrations side?

Thanks!

[benct]

... not sure if it still requires a fix on the this integrations side?

It does. Should be fixed in version 4.3.2 (clear cache, etc..).

[Arman-GeDon]

@benct Seems working on mobile after clearing app cach. Big thanks!

[Arman-GeDon]

@benct
What is not working is more-info on hold/double tap action when different than main entity is specified (desktop, mobile).
For example I'm expecting more-info on hold action for sensor.sensor3 but get for main entity (sensor.sensor1)

  - entity: sensor.sensor1
    type: custom:multiple-entity-row
    name: Energy
    secondary_info: last-updated
    show_state: false
    hold_action:
      action: more-info
      entity: sensor.sensor3
    entities:
      - entity: sensor.sensor2
        name: false

[NickM-27]

@benct works great! Thank you!

[NickM-27]

@Arman-GeDon as per the README, those are not supported for extra entities. Only tap_action is supported. So that's a feature request (I'd sure like to see too 👌) but not apart of this bug.

[Arman-GeDon]

@NickM-27
As you can see I'm using hold action for main entity and overriding entity-id as per the README

[benct]

What is not working is more-info on hold/double tap action when different than main entity is specified (desktop, mobile).

See #188.

Closing issue, thanks for all feedback 🙂

[guidokieboom]

works for me now (no more info popup). Thanks!! attribute results no longer different… so no separate issue created.

@benct Works perfect ... Thanks a lot!

[afarago]

Many thanks for your efforts, works fine now!

[poohbah]

Confirmed working again on android mobile but ONLY after clearing the app cache.

[mattthewclayton]

Sorry for reviving a closed issue, but I don't want to create a new one if I don't need to and I am just doing something stupid. My card works as expected on desktop, but not on iPhone.

In order for the toggle action to work on the entity (not the row) I have to do a long (3D?) press, and even then it's fairly intermittent if it works, you have to be very precise with your finger it seems.

Is this likely an issue with this integration (and I will open a new issue), or with the iOS companion app?
