Does anyone know what I need to mount my tablet and wire it in to constant electric.
I have a Amazon Fire 7" and I have a live, neutral and Earth wire at standard UK 240v. I am replacing my light switch with a minted tablet so there is a back box in the wall.
I have an electrician, I just need to find the right hardware for him to fit.
I really would like a tablet just hovering on the wall with no cables on display at all all fully powered and just haven’t found a way of doing it.
Here in Australia you can buy this type of USB charger that you would normally put behind and integrate into a power point. Maybe you can find something similar in the UK?
I’m guessing the simplest route would be to get a USB wall socket. I’m not in the UK but it looks like a variety are available: USB Wall Sockets and Modules at UK Electrical Supplies It will be ideal if you can get the electrician to install it recessed a bit for cable space.
There are wall-mount cases available for Fire tablets that have built-in channels to hide the charge cable. Some even come with custom cables, like this one (not an endorsement; I haven’t used it): Tablet Wall Mount for Amazon Fire | Makes by Mike
I soldered wires to the input and output, then used terminal connectors to connect to the 240v AC in , and to the + - 5v out to the usb lead that goes to your tablet.
