Thank u for the guide on how to install, I struggled a bit with windows 11 and signed drivers, but well… reading is hard sometimes 
Gonna see if I still got WiFi drops on lineageOS, but for the rest good guide and worked perfectly.
Only thing that happened to me, changing over usb cables and ports to get connection (skipping the signed driver part), I couldnt get a connection after restarting windows with using unsigned drivers, I had to reboot the tablet an extra time.
I have seen WiFi dropping out and not restarting, but only on devices where the signal is quite weak. Unfortunately the device has to be restarted in that scenario.
Well got a bluetooth error on display, and then indeed WiFi not being able to see any network.
Resetting the settings or trying anything in the settings app returns an error that “settings isn’t responding”
I’m not sure that its a weak signal, im running a UniFi accespoint in my house, and no other devices drop out of WiFi, for testing my tablet is on my table which the accesspoint is right above.
Sadly for me after a reboot (full power off) WiFi doesnt turn on, and using the toggle buttons anywhere in settings doesnt work, so no more WiFi 
Thank you for your hard work!
Got it working within an hour, really detailed guide.
The device feels really snappy, gonna test it for stability.
Hey, do you happen to know how to start the squeezelite from termux? i installed it and launched it just by typing squeezelite, LMS detected it as player, can play media, but there’s no sound coming out.
I can see when i try squeezelite -l (which will list the available output), i get OpenSL_ES_sink and OpenSL ES Output, none of them worked. Can you tell me what output did you use?
Thanks
Maybe you guys saw this already but there’s a very neat solution to get voice assist working on this alongside the dashboard on the Lineage Android 8 ROM.
@randomuser123 made a thread here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/how-to-run-wyoming-satellite-and-openwakeword-on-android
definitely going to give this a try, that looks pretty sweet
Can you do the same process to the never lenovo smart display 8?
thank you for the guide, Got it up and running within an hour. Now I need to make a new dashboard for it
Thanks a lot @mattmon for this thread and the idea of using this device with HA. 
I never liked the look of a real wall-mounted display and this device will now replace our clock on the sideboard in the living room without looking out of place.
I created a dashboard that acts as a screensaver for that use-case and a click reveals the real dashboard to control the house.
That looks clean! Would you be willing to share your dashboard’s yaml and how you covered out the ThinkSmart logo?
Thanks, will share the whole config as soon as I have the large clock ready for upload, which is a custom dashboard card I created based on the “PQINA Flip” web component.
The top cards are Bubble Card seperators with some CSS to enlarge the front and hide the background.
Simply because tweeking bubble cards with the embedded editor and the custom CSS and JS capabilities more fun than with other cards.
The covered logo is a simple 0.5mm thick 3D-printed part with some sanding for a polished look.
I’m using FK on a Fire10 (looking at changing to one of these Lenovo tabs). The white spash screen is super annoying, especially at night, since everything I use is in dark mode. The white screen is the HA screen with the logo, not the FK screen. I’ve put a direct page in the StartURL (including the actual file name) but I still get he white HA splash.
Am I missing something here?
I just bought a refurbished lenovo view for €50, planning to flash it this weekend. Would you guys recommend using lineage OS or the custom ROM from mattmon?
Was planning to do the flash trough windows, but after reading for some time maybe its better to install linux on my old laptop and flash it from there?
Any more suggestions before i start?
I have 2 of these, One using the Mattmon ROM, and one on Lineage, and I’d dare suggest Lineage as it just seems smoother and more well rounded. I’m actually considering swapping my first Thinksmart View from Mattmon to Lineage…
Not tested PMOS, but I’m using lineages with wallpanel. Runs very smoothly with wake up on camera.
Not suited to dark rooms like bedrooms.
Trying to install lineage OS right now, getting stuck at the QFIL software, giving me Sahara faultcodes. Tried different USB ports of my pc. Dont have any other USB-C to USB-A cables here. Any other suggestions?
UPDATE
Tried 3 different cables and all my pc usb ports, but all giving the same error:
main:320 Uploading Image using Sahara protocol failed
I followed the directions: used the EDL tool to flash the files located in the OP’s post, but I always get to the screen on the main menu that says “note” “can not find configuration”.
I tried to follow flashing LineageOS, but the recovery file at: https://s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com/rom-release/LineageOS/15.1/starfire/lineage-15.1-20240531-UNOFFICIAL-starfire-recovery.img
provides nothing to me in the US. Does someone have that file, or can someone help with the “can not find configuration” screen? There’s literally no hits on Google except this Discussion page.
I have one up and running with lineage 15.1 and it runs smooth, if the wifi keeps connected.
I use this one as an alarm clock and when my alarm goes off I want to use it slowly turn up the volume of the music I have set.
I use an automation to turn on/off the screen that is working fine, but the wifi drop outs (disconnects to ha) are making it quite unreliable.
The wifi drop outs are the only thing that keeps me from implementing more of these around the house.
Are there “best” settings to pretend the wifi drop outs or make it a bit more reliable
I have seven running around the house. Six are fine and never disconnect. One does but that’s a newer install and I don’t think I set the same FKB settings. I’m pretty sure there was a setting in FKB to keep it connected when the screen was off but I’ve not had the chance to go through it again. Worth going through the settings in detail if you are using FKB.
I also developed a custom dashboard for a bedside unit with a fully featured alarm clock made from automations and popups. I discontinued using it though as the screen backlight was too bright even with min brightness and a darkening overlay. I wanted an always on clock display. Unfortunately as Lineage doesn’t support tap screen to wake, turning the unit on was clumsy (using the vol buttons). I did think about maybe using a separate proximity sensor of some kind but haven’t gone down that route yet. This unit never had a problem with WiFi disconnects.
