Using HA to update Message box popups with input text Manually or with automation.

[stovedoctor]

Thought I would share on how I use popup message boxes.
by manually displaying a message via HA dash board using a input text box.

or using event triggers to display a pop up message. such as if a door is open for a set amount of time.

I also have one if my Power usages is more than my solar production.

Thanks to @fvanroie for the help with how to clear a popup when events are done.

This all works great for me to get Barbara's attention by having pop ups on the panel connected between to her two computer monitors. (hard to get her attention when she is in Team meetings)

Automaton for having a HA text box in a HA dashboard create a message box. by adding {{ states("input_text.ha_panel_popup_text_box") }} where you normal put your message text.
this automation also clears the message box when the input text box is cleared.

Using a event trigger such as if a sliding door is left open for a few minutes (damn cat!)
This automation will show a pop up if the door is left open for 2 minutes and clear it after the door is closed.
YOU NEED THE ABOVE automation first for this to work........

alias: slider open popup
