Go To screen action

Hello
My dashboard is pretty full already, and what I would like to do is automatically switch to another screen when some event triggers it.
Its to view a single camera full-screen on a smallish display for a short time before automatically reverting to the home screen.
Googling shows that this used to be possible in the distant past, but this feature seems to have been dropped.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this these days?

I did a quick test. Everything still seems to work:
To switch to a specific screen when a device changes (for instance screen 3), add the following to the block parameter:
You can also switch to a specific screen when a switch-like device switches to 'On' only with:
Sliding back to the default screen after a certain timeout can be defined in a CONFIG setting:
Code: Select all
config['auto_swipe_back_after'] = 10; //swipe back after 10 seconds

Thanks for taking the time to answer nicely, Lokonli. This was begging for a RTFM-type answer, and that's exactly where the solution was
I had started to play with ydotool to simulate keyboard entries, but this is easier by far.
Update: This worked, even when the screen was in Sleep mode.
And the same situation and solution was posted by
Sleth way back in 2019.
