Any view, from any dashboard as a popup

Reference views from anywhere with service calls through tap actions or automations! A nice way to tidy up your dashboards and keeping clear of duplicate cards/views.

Opens any view from any dashboard in a sliding popup. The popup automatically adjusts its width based on content and height to fit what's inside. Works great on both mobile and desktop!

Call the service popup_view.open with these options:

action: popup_view.open
data:
  animation_speed: 300
  auto_close: 0
  background_blur: true
  popup_height: 90
  alignment: center
  transparent_background: false
  view: lovelace/calendar
  displays:
    device_id: person.batman
  title: Calendar

✨ Highlight: Transparent background is perfect for single card views	✨ Highlight: Height auto-adjusts to content

Popup View uses user-based targeting. When you select a device (like specificperson_pixelphone), the popup will appear on:

• ALL devices where user "specificperson" is logged in
• This includes phones, tablets, and browsers logged in as that user

This approach ensures consistent behavior across all your devices without complex device identification. (trying to figure out how to do device specific targeting)

• notify.mobile_app_batman → Shows on all Batmans's devices
• person.batman → Same as above Tip: Leave empty to show on current device only

The dashboard or view to display in the popup
Examples: lovelace/calendar

Header text for your popup. Leave empty for a clean, title-free look.
Example: "🌤️ Weather Dashboard"

The time it takes for the popup to fully appear

• Smooth: 300ms
• Snappy: 100ms
• Instant: 0ms

Popup closes automatically after this time. Includes idle detection that resets on user interaction.

Creates a frosted glass effect behind the popup. Adds depth and focus to your popup content.

Limits how tall the popup can grow. Content smaller than this will auto-fit perfectly.

Where the popup appears on your screen:

• Bottom: Easy thumb reach
• Center: Focused view
• Top: Notification-style

Removes the popup container background. Perfect for floating cards or minimal designs.

I keep all my views that i would like as a popup in a separate dashboard. This way i can keep things nice and organized.

Create dedicated room views with all lights, media players, and climate controls - then pop them up from anywhere. No need to duplicate cards across dashboards!

Have a security overview that pops up automatically when you arrive home (using automations). Check cameras, locks, and alarm status in one quick view.

Full media dashboard that's accessible from any room view. Great for whole-home audio control without cluttering your main dashboards.

Pop up your shopping list from the kitchen dashboard when cooking. Add items without navigating away.

Quick calendar view from any dashboard - great for checking schedules before leaving the house.

A popup with all your scenes for different times of day. One tap from anywhere to set the mood.

Quick popup to check if garage is closed, car is locked, or charging status - right from your bedroom at night.

Automation that pops up weather, calendar, and commute info when motion detected in kitchen between 6-9am.

The beauty is you can keep your main dashboards clean and minimal, while having detailed views just a tap away! Also works great with conditional cards - show different popups based on who's home, time of day, or device type.
