Interesting! Ha app or fullykiosk would be the ideal outcome, or a port of lineageos or something…

Yeah I haven’t been able to pick up an xx60 for cheapish yet to mess with, I’ve been trying to get stock u-boot to work on the 752 but they either enabled code signing or do something special with hardware initialization that I haven’t been able to figure out yet.

if you had a 1060 are you confident you could build an android for it or something ? 
how are we doing with the LED Bar control? I have two panels here with LED bar I would love to get working with home assistant!
Looks like its split across a few posts; maybe it can be combined into a hacs integration?
It’s best to use SSH for LED control, as it works more consistently and can be sped up.
I have pretty much all of the steps outlined in this post. It’s slightly involved, but most of the work would be needed to make it work whether or not you had an integration—it’s mostly the effort of setting up SSH keys.
Once you get SSH set up, the [rest of the commands are super easy to enable, which I have all outlined here.
For me, this pretty much covered everything I wanted to do with the screens.
(Edit: I had the wrong link for the LED controls.)

Just a heads up to anyone looking at these displays: I have the 7" display and it seems to be too small to be usable with the default UI; the font is tiny. Home Assistant does not seem to have an easy way to increase the overall font size without the HA companion app and the display itself does not have font size settings. I would go with the 10", knowing this.
I’ve tried a few things to work around the font size and the best thing I could do so far is a set of custom cards with a much larger font size.
A direct integration to control the displays would be nice.
Not 110%, I can probably get stock linux running on them assuming they didn’t enable hardware level code signing, but I’ve never built a custom Android ROM before. I’ll get my hands on one eventually to mess with.
Hello All.
I have TSS-770 and it’s been great so far.
I use it via EWS service to display the dashboard and Wallpannel+Browser Mod to control idle_time and screensaver.
How is everyone dealing with screen timeout?
I would like the screen to go to sleep instead of keeping the screen on all the time and showing black wallpaper.
FYI, ~$30 1060’s with light bar and angle mounts on ebay. I bought 2 each they are both booting up and running HA dashboards.

Thanks. That’s cool.
That seller have different lots for different prices.
15,25,50 plus shipping.
Beat me to it, I was just about to post this here for the group as I purchased and the item finally arrived. Bought 2 and they arrived and I wasn’t sure what I received … lol …didn’t realize it had the light bar mounted too!
I can’t figure out how to pull that angled mount on the back off tho.
It took me a minute to figure it out, you have to put your fingers between the screen and light bar and wiggle them apart, rock back and forth, top and bottom all the way around. It’s only friction fit in the mount. It’s going to feel like you’re going to break the light bar but keep working it and it’ll come apart.
Where do I put this code please in HA and how to implement it…
Bit new to HA, not to Crestron!
I have a 1060 and if I use the standby within the TSW itself, it has to reload the layout each time…
Hence why I would like to learn more…
Oh thanks for that! I dig up pdf for the multi surface mount and used a plastic putty nice to reach in and pry. But you are right, it did feel like I was gonna break something
crazy I saw this listing a dozen times but I thought it was an ancient screen from the angle of the photo
I know this has been mentioned previously, but is there any hope to be able to use the older TSS-752 Scheduling panels? I didn’t even know it was possible to run stuff outside of a vision tools project (or fusion). At the moment I’ve just made my own dashboard on vision tools and using a plugin I made, which works really well, but if I ever change anything on HA, I have to come over into crestron and re-design my UI, and also program it all in SIMPL.
If anyone is interested, heres the project I made that allows crestron to HA communication.
A better option is to ditch the controller code altogether, and use a server with connects to the panel itself.
Here is an example:
What this does is that it responds to commands directly from the touchpanels.
So all you need is to build the project in vt pro, and intercept the joins…
my vtz file for 752: < I have no clue how to attach a file, let me know, and I will post my project file here>
Just curious. Have we got the ‘Button’ / lighted Icons on the side bar accessible / working. It’ll be cool to have those. I just got a couple more and as I was resetting them I noticed the keys on the right.
Those go into the SSH integration, which I linked to. You need to add it to Home Assistant.
It’s a bit of a process, so you’ll have to read through my posts and see if you can figure it out from there. It’s not something I can provide a perfect guide for.
Hey were you ever able to figure this out? I got a panel and ran into the same issue but your post is what gave me the ideas to cobble together a fix and upgrade from 1.0 to 3.0.
