i dont think so.
i dont believe its android driven.
it might work if you have a tablet that is mirrored to it. but as i see it, it more like a kind of touchscreen beamer. it needs some source that has the pages to view.

Thanks @ReneTode!! Was thinking of hooking up a RPI to it, but I recon that can’t be made Android driven either? Maybe I should try to create something similar with AppDeamon?
I have a perfect wall in the kitchen to integrate a vertical large home control screen on:
On it I would like to have (a) a calendar for the family, (b) a control panel/button tiles for the house and some central graphs, and © the opportunity to put on a stream. And maybe also have some rolling pictures on from the family album, the weather, maybe some news headlines and stock readings. A black board? Stuff like that. A lot would fit in on a screen that size – if the software was flexible.
an RPI with appdaemon and using HAdashboard could indeed by an option.
with HAdashboard you can do everything if you know a bit of javascript programming.
without that its going to be a challange.
fully can help a small bit to give commands from automations to the screen, but most of it is not really needed or can be done by appdaemon/ha itself.
but explore if there are not other touchscreen monitors you could consider.

Thanks again! 
I will look around for other type of screens with Android, just that I could pick up one of those Samsung Flips at a very good price.
screens with android are hardly out there.
i got a 17 inch tablet, bigger is hardly available.
i ment normal touchscreen monitors (because you are going to treat it like a monitor anyway)

Ok, perhaps someone who KNOWS what they are doing can help me here, because clearly I do not…lol. I want to be able to monitor the battery level of my Fire HD tablets I use around the house as HA panels. I’m pretty sure I have them configured properly for MQTT. I stole some code in an earlier post to create a sensor but all I receive is: Unknown…Below is the code I dropped in my YAML config…Any thoughts?
sensor:
- platform: mqtt
state_topic: "fully/event/onBatteryLevelChanged/tablet-bedroom"
name: "Tablet Bedroom Battery"
value_template: "{{ value_json['level'] }}"
unit_of_measurement: "%"
device_class: battery
its easier to listen to the state topic:
fully/deviceInfo/your_deviceid
where your deviceid is the id that fully uses, not the name you gave it.
if you want to see more from what is happening on mqtt i advise to install a program like mqtt explorer.
if you got the right deviceid then you get json data like:
{
"deviceId": "xxx",
"deviceName": "tulip-ads",
"batteryLevel": 100,
"isPlugged": true,
"SSID": "\"xxx\"",

}
if you want to listen to that event youll also need the device id, that is in your fully settings
its something like xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx
Ok, well I got the deviceID from the MQTTT logs…however I’m completely confused as to how to create a sensor from a state topic? Does this go in the YAML config?
probably something like
sensor:
- platform: mqtt
state_topic: "fully/deviceInfo/your_deviceID"
name: "Tablet Bedroom Battery"
value_template: "{{ value_json['batteryLevel'] }}"
unit_of_measurement: "%"
device_class: battery

I do try to restart FKB on regular times using:
- platform: command_line
switches:
restart_fkb:
command_on: /usr/bin/curl -k "http://192.168.2.211:2323/?cmd=restartApp&password=MyPass"
command_off: /usr/bin/curl -k "http://192.168.2.211:2323/?cmd=restartApp&password=MyPass"
friendly_name: Restart FKB
That is 9 out of 10 times not working. and giving an error in HA log.
I do think that it happens because the screen is not on?
Any Ideas?
Is it possible to use a command to put screen on first?
Thanks in advance
i think that your problem is that when the screen is off the tablet falls asleep and loses connection to your network.
that happens to a lot of tablets.
thats why i always keep the screen on and only reduce brightness to a minimum.
Thanks for the answer.
Is that not draining battery?
Is at alos possible to do a “wakeup” command?
dashboards that are used as wallpanel are normally always on power. (mine are all always powered.)
on some i had to reduce the brightness a bit, because my animated backgrounds asked to much energy, causing that the power wasnt enough to keep the battery full.
at night i set brightness to zero. (screen keeps on, but you depending on the tablet its almost black)
its also possible to switch to an all black page with only 1 button.
most tablets that fall asleep are hard to wake up from anything else then manual commands.
mostly because they are designed to be used as tablet and not as wallpanel 
Thanks again. I undertsand what your saying.
But with the remote controll app it is also possible to restart or approach the tablet, even when screen is switcht off.
So I do believe it must be possible to wake it up
EDIT:
I did found the solution (I think):
diningdashwakeup:
command_on: /usr/bin/curl -k "http://KioskIP:2323/?cmd=screenOn&password=KioskPassword"
command_off: /usr/bin/curl -k "http://KioskIP:2323/?cmd=screenOff&password=KisokPassword"
friendly_name: Front Door Dashboard On
if you can send the screenOn command the Tablet isnt sleeping.
but if the restart isnt working 9 out of 10 times, then i suspect that the screenOn will fail the same amount of times.
I tried it now 10 times when the screen was of. It worked all the times.
But your right. It need time to be sure, it will working all the time.
I will inform you if not

did you ever figure this out? I’m having the same issue all that is in the developer tools states section is the friendly_name: office_tab
I’ve spent all day unsuccessfully trying to simply get motionDetectorStatus from my A7 tablet into HA 2021.4.3 running on a networked NAS. I’ve tried about 150 variations of this and this is the best I’ve come up with.
sensor:
-
platform: rest
name: kitchen
json_attributes:
[‘batteryLevel’, ‘screenBrightness’, ‘isPlugged’, ‘motionDetectorStatus’,
‘lastAppStart’, ‘internalStorageFreeSpace’, ‘internalStorageTotalSpace’,
‘ramFreeMemory’, ‘ramTotalMemory’, ‘isInScreensaver’]
resource: http://192.168.1.123:2323/?cmd=deviceInfo&type=json&password=[notarealpassword]
value_template: “{{ value_json.ScreenOn | default }}”scan_interval: 1
-
platform: template
sensors:
kitchen_motion:
friendly_name: “kitchen motion”
value_template: “{{ states.sensor.kitchen.attributes.motionDetectorStatus }}”
The log error is:
Template variable warning: ‘mappingproxy object’ has no attribute ‘motionDetectorStatus’ when rendering ‘{{ states.sensor.kitchen.attributes.motionDetectorStatus }}’
The tablet and Fully Kiosk are set up fine, the souce data is there when viewed through a browser but HA will not see it no matter what I try. What am I doing wrong?
i dont see the error, but then i dont use rest sensors in HA.
but 2 remarks:
- you really dont want to have a rest sensor with a scan interval from 1 second to a fully tablet. even 10 seconds is already a lot for a good tablet with fully.
- use MQTT
OK, thanks. I solved my problem by removing the brackets [] from the password.
I can now get motion sensor status (is the motion detector feature enabled in fully kiosk?) but it looks like I now need to use MQTT to get the useful value motionDetectorState (has motion been detected by the tablet).
