Modo Tab Mount – Magnetic tablet wall mount designed for EU wall boxes

Hello,

You're project seems really interesting, well done !

Is the Modo Tab Mount Smart compatible with Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+ 11" 6 Go/128 Go WiFi ?

Thanks in advance,
Best regards

Hello,

Thank you :slight_smile:

Yes, it should be compatible, size and weight are definitely within the supported range. I have not yet tried this model, but I believe it is similar to Galaxy Tab A9+ in form factor.

Hi @Modestas_Maumevicius !
I want to buy it, but my country is not on list on modoco.io. Can you help me?

Hi @YanchikAmb,

What country are you from? I need to check if shipping is possible..

Unfortunately, I don't currently ship to Belarus. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello! Have you moved forward with the new version with the USB-C to USB-C connection option for charging? I am interested in your purchase. Thanks for your contributions.

Yes, the current revision supports USB-C to USB-C charging.

At the moment, however, I am still waiting for a new batch of USB-C to USB-C cables to arrive, so orders are currently shipped with the previous cable version (both are supported).

Once the new cables are back in stock, I will be able to include the USB-C to USB-C option with orders.

Just replying so that later i'll be able to find my way back here.

This project is exactly what i'll need later on (1y+ as the property is still being built).
I agree that some magnetic connection would be cool, when i could just simply grab the tablet from the wall and take it, and no wire would be left hanging from the wall. :slight_smile:

If i purchase a smart version, will I receive the USB-C to USB-C version?

Finally got round ordering one of these, all going well I will come back for more. Many thanks for responding to my initial enquiry.

Hi,

I am waiting for batch of 20 cm long type c to type c cables, should arrive next week. I currently have few 15 cm cables, it is long enough for 10-11 inch tablet, I could include it, just mention in comments.

Hi,
Do you have an estimated release date for the PoE+LED version?
Will it be possible to order additional magnetic mounts separately?

Hi,

I haven’t been able to get both Ethernet data and power working with the tablet yet, but I’m hoping the next hardware revision will solve that.

In the meantime, due to the number of requests, I’ve created a hidden listing for a power-only PoE version. If powering the tablet is all you need, you can check it out here: Modo Tab Mount PoE – modoco.io

Since the point of your (excellent) mounts is to enable the tablet to be easily removed and remounted, data over PoE (imo) is not really something I desire, since it’ll need to switch to WiFi when I remove it from the mount.
PoE power only is perfect!

Hello,
I have few question if I may:

Will this work with Ipad mini 5 or 6 and newer please?
Is charging cable interchangeable? So I have lightning and in future change it to usb-c?
Also does smart charging mean, that it will charge automatically as needed to preserve battery?
And if I understood correctly, cables from wall are standard power cables?

Thank you

Hi,

Yes, it will work with both the iPad Mini 5 and iPad Mini 6, but

The charging cables are interchangeable, so if you’re using a Lightning iPad today and switch to a USB-C model later, you can simply swap the cable. If you change to a different tablet model, you’ll also need the a new tablet plate.

Regarding battery preservation: not by itself, but the Smart versions include an integrated eFuse that is controlled by the ESP32 and acts as a charging switch. It’s exposed to Home Assistant, so it’s very easy to create charging automations. For example, you can automatically start charging when the battery drops below 20% and stop charging when it reaches 80%. Many users use this approach to reduce the time the tablet spends at 100% charge.

And yes, for the Smart AC version, the wires coming from the wall are standard mains power wires. The mount has a built-in AC-to-DC power supply that converts 230V/110V AC to 5V DC for the tablet.

There are also other versions available:

  • Smart LV – powered from an external 5V USB-C power source.
  • PoE – powered directly from an 802.3af PoE switch or injector.

One thing to keep in mind is that the mount provides standard 5V charging at up to around 1.5A and does not support USB Power Delivery (PD) negotiation. For wall-mounted dashboard tablets this is usually more than sufficient, as the tablet is continuously powered and not expected to fast-charge from a low battery level.

Hi

How are you getting on with the POE version - power & data?

If i purchased the power only version now, can this be updated when the data model is available?

My house is being re-wired and i can’t decide if POE or simply AC mains is best

Hi,

I have a working prototype. Will order first larger batch this week, should be available by end of this month.

thanks for the update, appreciated.
