Amazon Fire Tablet PLUS Home Assistant?

Ok, so it’s Black Friday… time to look again at tablets.

Simple question(s),

Does Lovelace work on an Amazon Fire Tablet?
I believe there used to be issues, especially with custom cards is that still the case?

Can Fully Kiosk be installed without rooting?

Given I will only ever have FK running on it as a wall panel, can it be configured to never sleep thereby stopping it from ever show ads?

Thanks…

I have 2x Fire HD8 tablets on the wall for about two years now.

It does for me. I am using custom cards for better control over the layout, but no fancy animated cards.

Yes. I download the package directly from the Fully Kiosk website. There is a special version for Fire OS.

It can be configured to never sleep. I dim the brightness and use the built in camera as motion detector to increase brightness.
I asked Amazon support nicely and they removed ads free of charge.

Thanks for all that.

I’ve read about this. Did you say anything in particular? Are you a Prime member? (I heard that helps).

Sorry, don’t remember the details. I think at the time I was indeed a Prime member.
