Automating/integrating Kiosker iOS App?

[sebbaT]

Hi all,

Pretty new to home assistant and this community so a big shout out to everyone for all the useful information. Hopefully in time I will be able to share my projects and assist others!

I am testing Kiosker.app on iOS for my HA dashboard. It has a screensaver functionality which uses the camera to turn on/off with proximity.

They have Javascript Integration (https://docs.kiosker.io/#/javascript) which enables the different functions to be controlled in-browser.

{
    "event":"pauseScreenSaver",
    "data": {"state": true}
}

Is there anyway to bring this into HA so that I could call a script (?) to automate this?

What I’m trying to create is:

• if no HA dashboard input for 30s --> turn on screensaver.
• camera motion trigger --> turn off screensaver…delay 10s…turn on screensaver.

I’ve attempted a few methods, including node-red, to try and gain control of Kiosker through JavaScript but I haven’t been able to do this.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Possibly using browser mod:

Browser_mod - turn your browser into a controllable device, and a media_player

Ok… so here’s my first ever custom component It does what my lovelace plugins lovelace-player and browser-commander used to do, but with backend support. From the readme: Make the camera feed from your front door pop up on the tablett in your kitchen when someone rings the doorbell. Have a message pop up on every screen in the house when it’s bedtime. Make the browser on your workstation switch to a specific tab when the kitchen light is on after midnight Play a TTS message on your work c…

Thanks for the suggestion!

I have played around a bit with trying to get it to work but can’t figure it out. I’ll pop a message over in that thread.

Did you ever figure this out? I’m trying to achieve the same thing with the screensaver…
