Hi guys, just wanted to share my new prototype iPhone wall plate with HAdashboard, anybody would be interested in the final product?
This is only a low quality printed prototype, square hole not there in final product!

i could imagine doing this with a cheap 25 dollar phone, but not with an iphone

How are you going to fix the charging? I want to do something similar with a cheap Android tablet but I’m struggling with the power source. Most ideal would be to place this over an outlet and to have 230V to USB/lightning solution where you can connect it constantly. Unfortunately I did not find that solution yet…
It’s an old iPhone 4, not that expensive

I’ll use a 120v/5v power supply mounted on a PCB, and mount this plate next to a regular light switch where I’ll get the power
How do you turn the display on if the home button is covered?
Consider a Android phone/tablet with WallPanel or Fully kiosk browser , those apps can use the front camera as motion sensor and then automatically turn on the display.

Its always on, and I’ll look at what deuntje says about detection with cam
How did you do that?
I installed an app called kiosk pro lite , it keeps the screen always on, full screened and hides everything else.

Thanks. I have an old iPad that I could use for this.
What country are these plates for? Guessing US.
Almost! Canada
Very nice Chris !
Is it a 3d model that you did yourself ? Is it available on thingiverse ?
Did you paint the plate or you get this white color directly from the material you used ?
What’s the interface that you’re running? It looks nicely optimized for the small screen.
Hi, yes it is a 3D model I designed myself, did not find any on thingiverse, I printed in white and layed a white vinyl on it to get a better finish

Nice! Since your pulling power from the light switch, may be a good idea to incorporate the switch cover with the iPhone cover.
