Doorbell Popup

"I also have popups triggered by the Reolink video doorbell being pushed and Frigate detecting a person or animal. This triggers the Bubble Card popup via a boolean helper."
Curious for more details

What do you want to know? There's a fair bit of detail in that.

I have never used a boolean helper to create pop ups and was wondering how.

Ah, that's part of the bubble card popup functionality. Check it out, it's excellent!

In the popup, you can specify a Boolean to trigger the popup. So I do that for front door cam that announces someone seen at the front door and then shows the popup which is a bigger version of the camera view. That's managed by a simple automation which then sets the Boolean to false after x seconds and that then causes the popup to hide again. Really powerful.

I've not updated the code on here for some time though, so some of that has changed a bit.
