Hi All,

Is it possible to add a pop up key board to shopping list when using a touchscreen on kiosk with home assistant?

any help on this would really be appreciated.

Did you ever solve this? I’d like to do the same with the ToDo list.

Bump. I have the same issue.
I know there is an on-screen keyboard installed, because it pops up to enter a password, but won’t pop up for any of the fields in an HA card. Any ideas?

With help from another site, I added Onboard on-screen keyboard to my run stack, and that did the trick.

sudo apt install onboard

DISPLAY=:0 onboard-settings

Select “auto-show when editing text” and hit close. If it asks you to enter gnome accessibility mode, click yes.

Add this to your bash shell script before the line that opens Chromium:

/usr/bin/dbus-run-session /usr/bin/onboard &

Don’t forget the & at the end of the line. And that should get you going!
