Lock device on which mobile app is running

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android
1

Use case: wall tablet running mobile app as a kiosk, provides a nice place to manage/monitor the house when home. When someone is home, I want the tablet to stay unlocked. When everyone has left the house (though device tracking) I want to automatically lock the tablet. When someone comes home, I want to automatically unlock the tablet.

Is this possible today?

it is not currently possible to do this, the app is not a device administrator

I’ve had an idea, I have a Pi within bluetooth range of the tablet. I should be able to automate Bluetooth on/off on the Pi based on presence, then use smart lock on the tablet based on Pi broadcasting or not.
