Is there a way to control an Android tablet from HA?

I successfully use a 24/7 plugged in tablet with WallPanel for Android as a control panel for my HA.

Now I have another Android tablet roaming around the house, which often leads to it left completely discharged.
Ideally, I want to get the battery charge level from that tablet and to be able to control it from a HA automation (when the level drops below 50%, for example) by displaying an alert on its screen or switching it off completely (that’s what I came up to so far to avoid deep discharges).

WallPanel is a nice app that among other things (with MQTT enabled) can send battery level as a MQTT message, but there are 2 problems:

  1. It needs to start on startup, but on that tablet there is no need for it to be in foreground as I only use its MQTT features here (it’s not a HA fronted device)
  2. It does not allow me to shutdown the device

So it looks like WallPanel is not the best tool for the job, but I am not familiar with anything that can send battery charge level to HA somehow (MQTT?) and has HA-supported remote control (MQTT/REST?) to perform shutdown/display an alert on the screen.

Any suggestions on app/approach?

For battery monitoring (and other things) I use Fully Kiosk Broser

Hello AhmadK,
take a look at the “Ariela” App in the Play Store. You can see the battery level in HA. Is a great app and has a few other games in stock

Thanks for the hint.
I know about Ariela as an alternative to WallPanel but haven’t tried it yet.
It might be a bit too much for my mere needs though… and is it possible to run it in background by default?

To display the battery status in HA, the app does not need to be open, it only needs to be set in the app that the sensor data is transferred, in HA. Also a sensor must be created to display the status. But that’s easy and described in the app …
