Action to fire Javascript command

See original GitHub issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I use Fully Kiosk Browser on wall-mounted tablets for my Home Assistant UI. Fully has custom javascript functions (like fully.setScreenBrightness(123)) you can call to manipulate the device, such as setting screen brightness, turning the screen off, etc. I would like to make use of some of these functions from the HA UI.

Describe the solution you’d like A new type of action that will fire a specified javascript function when the button is tapped

Describe alternatives you’ve considered Have not seen any alternatives. Currently using TileBoard which has this capability, but am trying to migrate over to Lovelace for my wall-mounted tablets.

You could even call multiple services doing so:

tap_action:
  action: nothing
  multi_calls: |
    [[[
      hass.callService(
        "light",
        "turn_on",
        { entity_id: "light.my_light", brightness: 200 }
      );
      hass.callService(
        "switch",
        "turn_off",
        { entity_id: "switch.my_switch" }
      );
    ]]]
