Would it be possible to add support for the Lovelace assist tap action?

Hi, I have a feature request for AlertTicker Card.

Would it be possible to add support for the Lovelace assist tap action?

At the moment AlertTicker supports actions like more-info, navigation, URL, scripts, services, etc., but it does not allow opening Home Assistant Assist from a tap.

Something like this would be very useful:

clear_tap_action:
  action: assist
  pipeline_id: YOUR_PIPELINE_ID

or for individual alerts:

tap_action:
  action: assist
  pipeline_id: YOUR_PIPELINE_ID

This would allow users to directly open their preferred Assist pipeline (for example Google AI conversation, local Assist, etc.) by tapping the ticker.

I think it would be a great addition because action: assist is already supported by other Lovelace cards.

Thank you for your work on this card!

Hi @matte86m, thanks for the suggestion!

assist action is nexts v1.3.7 — you can set it on any tap/hold/snooze slot:

tap_action:
action: assist
pipeline_id: "" # leave empty for the HA-preferred pipeline
start_listening: true # true = mic opens immediately

Works on all action slots: tap_action, hold_action, double_tap_action, snooze_action, clear_tap_action, clear_hold_action, clear_double_tap_action, group_tap_action, group_hold_action.

Both pipeline_id and start_listening are also configurable from the visual editor, with translations in all 12 supported languages.
