Fully Kiosk Browser

Does someone also have lots of lag using FKB?

No issues with a fire hd 7 though I don’t use anything else in the tablet

Im using a Lenovo X30L

That shows just blank remote admin page

Try changing your Remote Admin Password to something more basic. I had capitalized letters and special characters and couldn’t get it to work. I changed it to a basic numeric password and it is working!!

I’m using Fully Kiosk Brower on both a Samsung and a Lenovo tablets. When the tablets hasn’t been used for a couple of hours, they loose connection to HA and I need to refresh the web page before I can turn light on/of. I’m using Tileboard as front end.
Any hint to avoid this? Right now my page reloads every time the display is turn on, but this isn’t perfect as it not ready, when I want to use it

Can somebody tell me how to remotely stop playing video? without reload page?

same here. Need reload before I can tab to other tabs… or do some actions.

dont turn off the display at all.
some tablets go to sleep if the display is off, but when the display stays on they keep connection.

instead use screensaver or set brightness very low.

I have the same issue using Lovelace in Fully kiosk Browser on a tablet. I set mine to go into a built in screen saver and when it come out it then has to reconnect which is a pain. May try leaving in on see how that goes. It switched off over night and comes back on around 5:00 in the morning which once connected is ok.

I do the same as @ReneTode, I don’t turn the screen off or go into screensaver, I just set the brightness to 0 which pretty much means the screen is off.

I tried to keep screen on, no screensaver and even then its slow…

fully has no influence on speed.
things that influence your speed are:

  • your tablet
  • your wifi
  • the device running HA
  • etc.

but if you keep the device on, there should be no need to reload pages (unless your wifi connection is so bad, that the tablet cant keep a continous connection.)

and if its a bad connection troubling you then switch on the option:
auto reload on network reconnect.

also think about:
Force Wifi SSID (PLUS)

You can also try “CPU WakeLock” and “WiFi WakeLock” settings to ON.
And “Prevent from Sleep while Screen Off”
I am using Samsung TAB2 7 inch tablet with Cyanogenmod Android 6.0.1 and Tileboard as frontend. It works good (most of time :slight_smile: with timed screen off and screen on by motion sensor event.
As well as the pair of Amazon Fire HD tablets.

Hi All,

Do you know if anything was changed.

I can turn on the tablet see the status and adjust brightness.

Only think not working is the turn off tablet. Any ideas?

I have the similar issue on two tablets, battery status etc work but commands like restart fully, change page, and turn on screen dont work after upgrading to 1.06

going directly via a browser to my tablet ip address i can turn on the screen no issues, has something changed with rest commands ?

Thanks for making the guide.

I only need to get the turn off to work then I am happy. :slight_smile:

Hope one of you have just the right solution :slight_smile:

The code i use:

sensor:
  - platform: rest
    name: tablet_battery_level
    json_attributes:
      - batteryLevel
    resource: http://[IP]:2323/?cmd=deviceInfo&type=json&password=[password]
    value_template: '{{ value_json.batteryLevel }}'
    unit_of_measurement: '%'
  - platform: rest
    name: tablet_screen_brightness
    json_attributes:
      - screenBrightness
    resource: http://[IP]:2323/?cmd=deviceInfo&type=json&password=[password]
    value_template: '{{ value_json.screenBrightness }}'

binary_sensor:
  - platform: rest
    name: tablet_screen_on
    resource: http://[IP]:2323/?cmd=deviceInfo&type=json&password=[password]
    value_template: '{{ value_json.isScreenOn }}'
  - platform: rest
    name: tablet_plugged_in
    resource: http://[IP]:2323/?cmd=deviceInfo&type=json&password=[password]
    value_template: '{{ value_json.plugged }}'

rest_command:
  tablet_screen_on:
    url: 'http://[IP]:2323/?cmd=screenOn&type=json&password=[password]'
    method: post
  tablet_screen_off:
    url: 'http://[IP]:2323/?cmd=screenOff&type=json&password=[password]'
    method: post
  tablet_screen_value:
    url: 'http://[IP]:2323/?cmd=setStringSetting&key=screenBrightness&value={{states("input_number.tablet_temp_screen_brightness") | int }}&type=json&password=[password]'
    method: post
  tablet_url_bed:
    url: 'http://[IP]:2323/?cmd=loadURL&url=http://DashboardIP/{{ states("input_select.tablet_dash_select") }}&type=json&password=[password]'
    method: post

input_number:
  tablet_temp_screen_brightness:
    name: tablet_temp_screen_brightness
    initial: 128
    min: 0
    max: 255
    step: 1

Turn on Screen works fin with me. Do you have turn off working?

This has been on my list of things to check out for a long long time!
I’m finally going to give it a go.
Thanks Corona-Quarantine!
