Fully Kiosk Failed to connect

Configuration
1

Hey Folk, first time posting here, but searching online came up short with answers.

I just purchased a 10.1" Fire Tablet (2019) that I am going to use as a Fully Kiosk for a dashboard, etc.
When adding the ‘Fully Kiosk Browser’ integration I’m getting a error ‘Failed to connect’

  • Everything setup on the tablet just fine, I have a Fully Kiosk license with remote enabled
  • From a browser on my PC i can access remotely just fine at http://192.168.3.62:2323 (password works)
  • Adding the Fully Kiosk Integration, I get a generic ‘Failed to connect’ error
  • Using terminal from within Home Assistant I can ping the endpoint just fine.

Ideas on how to debug this connection?

Fully Kiosk Version: ver. 1.49.1 (101105)
Home Assistant Version: 9.2

The HASS default port is 8123. It maybe this integration is trying to use the default port, rather than your custom port 2323

Thanks, but :2323 seems like the default port that Fully Kiosk is running on the tablet, it does not seem configurable either. The Host that I am putting in here is the Fully Kiosk endpoint.

After digging through the code this afternoon, I discovered the issue is on my input validation and misunderstanding host as needing to specifically be the IP address without http://

when you copy/paste the IP address from a browser, it automatically submits the ‘Host’ as ‘http://192.168.2.249’ - The integration expects this without the http:// as just the IP address. I was able to get the integration to work by using only ‘192.168.2.249’ as the host without the PORT either as the Port is defaulted in the code to :2323

Same problem here with a Samsung A8 tablet. Remote admin works fine when accessing through browser, but it’s not working with the home assistant fully kiosk integration. I am using the ip without http://.

Samsung A8 SM-X205
Android version: 13 (SDK 33)
App version: 1.52-play

Home Assistant 2023.8.3
Supervisor 2023.08.1
Operating System 10.5
Frontend-version: 20230802.1 - latest

Be sure that You have the latest version of FullyKiosk. For me an upgrade was a soultion.

I still had the same issue with the proper formatting of the ip. I found on other topic that it is best to change the MAC of the device to static instead of random. This did the trick for me. Mind that the device probably simulates a new IP as it did with me, so remember to check this as well.
Also i did not see this in any topic, but be sure to edit in fully kiosk in the settings that you want to enable remote administration and add a password!
