I created a MQTT Alarm Control Panel for use with Home Assistant’s new Manual Alarm Control Panel component. This project was built using a Raspberry Pi 3 and a 7" Touchscreen display running Android Things.
If the display is compatible with Android Things. Currently they have no list of supported displays so you will have to try it to see. It is also possible that interface needs to be tweaked to fit the display.
You have drivers in Android Things to communicate to the GPIO, this is how the 7" touch screen is attached, its not through the HDMI. Check out the I/O support for Android Things: https://developer.android.com/things/sdk/pio/index.html
Yes, working on that, it will support phones but in landscape. I also need to add some logic to wake the screen using motion detection for the camera, but that will be later.
Maybe I’m blind but I don’t see the APK for download. I don’t know the first thing about compiling from source. Would like to try and side load on an old tablet and the Play Store says none of my devices are compatible.
First i would like to thank you for sharing this nice piece. I just tried to setup it up on a raspberry pi3 with 7" touch, but for some reason I cannot get the MQTT broker ip address to save or better yet i don’t see any “save or ok” button to press on. Any ideas""""
