I have an automation I run where when someone is approaching the front door my reolink will open. I can do this with Fully Kiosk or with TTS command to open it up. The problem I have is on a tablet I want it to be in landscape mode, but it keeps opening it up in portrait because it is re-opening the app. If it were just to bring it from the background it would be in the last position it was before. It’s weird because sometimes it will do it and sometimes it won’t. With fully kiosk if I use the universal launcher to open reolink it will just bring it to the foreground if it’s already open. FYI yes I know I can intergrate reolink into home assistant, but there are still issues with audio, microphone etc… Anyone have any thoughts?
I have the exact same question/issue except that I would like to bring the Eufy Security app from the background to the foreground.
@Bunjo: Have you managed to solve the problem?
If not, maybe somebody else can jump in here?

Hi @Nick4, many thanks for you reply.
I am already able to start the eufy security app on my fire tablet using the uri value “intend:…” with the package name as described in the link you provided.
But I aim for a dedicated camera to be displayed. Since eufy does not support a deep link to be used I tried this workaround:
I manually opened the eufy app on the fire tablet, navigated to the intended camera and switched the HA companion app back to be in the foreground again.
Calling the uri with “intend:…” and the package name would always start the eufy app from scratch and the context of the opened camera in the back is lost.
So I am wondering, if there is a way to control / switch already opened apps on the fire / android tablet to the foreground.
