Is this the perfect standalone tablet for HA?

I may have created the perfect home assistant tablet, for anywhere but a wall. Actually, Lenovo created it, I just fixed their software, haha! [4dash] This post details a Home Assistant themed custom ROM for the ThinkSmart View 8" CD-18781Y. Installation info is below! The device was intended for enterprise video conferencing; the Qualcomm SoC is much more powerful than chips usually found in smart displays. It’s perfect for HA dashboards! (Or as an octoprint server, etc, etc) The form fac…

Tablet as wall panel

Hi, sharing a complete solution for wall panel using cheap Android tablet. I did a test drive of the solution I plan to implement in my new house (under construction). Here are the components I used: Ridiculously cheap 11-inch tablet. It’s quality is really poor, and it’s super slow. I wouldn’t recommend it for anything else, but all it does ultimately is just display the dashboard, so it is fine. Power supply: quick charge module 10V DC power supply (I had one spare at home, any LED or oth…

NSPanel Pro UI Design with Lovelace

[sonoff Medium] I wanted to create a suitable custom design for my NSPanel Pro, that is not just regular Lovelace squished into a square shape. [nspanel-pro-screens Medium] Also something in common style for the regular NSPanel. Mixing original Sonoff styles, some Lovelace, and some personal preferences from experience of years being a designer. [nspanel-screens Medium] I am currently in process of converting it into Lovelace (and in the future, also Nextion). If you would like to partic…

Another wall mounted tablet

I want to share my project of wall mounted tabled. It is fairly simple. I mounted it in a place where I had my heating controller installed (Danfoss Link CC), installed in regular electric installation box. As a tablet, I used Lenovo P11, which was good value for money, with 10" 2K display (2000 × 1200 px). I was also looking for some Chinese brands, but they were not much cheaper, so I decided it is not worth saving few bucks with questionable result. It also has battery saving feature, to ke…

Share your Tablet/Desktop Dashboards

I gave up in the end i couldn’t figure out where i was going wrong so i moved onto another version but that’s not working correctly now. I’m still learning all this so i’m making weeks works of mistakes before i get something done lol I did think about trying it without the decluttering but wasn’t sure how to. Thanks I thought

Installing a Home Assistant Control Panel

I finally got around to installing the Android Point-Of-Sale tablet I bought at the start of 2023. It was a little trickier than I expected, but I’m thrilled with the result. My wife and kids love it. [20231224_153146156_iOS] The tablet itself is a 15" unit designed for point of sale use, so it’s got a touch screen and some lights along the sides. It doesn’t have a battery and can be powered by Power-over-Ethernet, which made it really appealing to me! The only major downside is that it’s ru…

Wall Panel (Fire 8 HD tablet, Lovelace, CCH, MQTT Alarm and video Doorbell on ring)

Hi Everyone, This has taken me a while to get right so hope others can benefit from it. [Imgur] This shows an Alarm panel (most of my automations handle when my family come and go, but guests always create a tough situation, without capturing their phones, or giving them a BLE beacon). When you swipe the panel to one side, it shows a lovelace panel, and is limited by Custom Compact Header (CCH) and the user logged in on the tablet to prev…

Touchpanel for man cave (desk or door. Not decided yet.)

I have several wallmounted tablets around the home. Also a 3.5" screen connected to a raspberry as keypad for alarm. That last bit I am now in the process of upgrading to a 7.9" touchscreen. I secured one and it works like a charm. [ezgif.com-optimize (2)] It will be integrated into my desk or door. Not decided yet. But my own personal “Enterprise/Iron man” man cave is going to be soooooo friggin’ awesome. [20200721_174402] [20200721_174410] Only thing I am trying to work out is the Ch…

Modded NSPanel (US) with ESPHome and custom wall bracket

Hi! A few months ago, i bought a Sonoff NSPanel knowing that i would be able to flash ESPHome on it. I really liked the design of the display. What i did not like was the screw terminals for AC input on the relay box. They are not the best quality and i don’t trust them for installing inside the wall. Also, the switch i originally intended to replace controls an outlet and having only a 2 amp relay turning on an outlet is not a very good idea. I instead designed a wall bracket for the display …

Echo Show 15 hybrid Home Assistant Wall Panel

I’ve been a home assistant tinkerer for some time now, but this project is at a stage where the wife doesn’t struggle so I thought I’d share. It’s actually so easy and handy, that we’ve stopped asking Alexa to do stuff (often repeatedly) and just touch a few buttons on the wall panel. I’m using an Echo Show 15 as a wall panel with Fully Kiosk browser. A lot of stuff such as motion detection from fully doesn’t work with the Echo, however I’ve found some ways around it. The goal was to have a hom…

[480px_screen] https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256807420446535.html I have been seeing these a lot of Aliexpress lately for around $27. They check all the boxes for me Fast CPU Lots of memory Great format Easy wall mount as a wall switch 120v relay included Does not require programming another internal device for LVGL like NSPanel Many thanks to everybody on the ESPhome discussion board for helping me get this working. I initially tested it with the openHASP project. This works very well …
