I have the Home Assistant Web Page on an ancient iPad that I’d like to have on all the time. But I’m worried about screen burn in. iPads really don’t support screen savers, so is there any way to either auto-rotate through the tabs or some other anti-burn-in settings that can be used in Home Assistant to help with this?
Thanks
I can’t say for sure, but I’m fairly sure the types of displays used in iPads aren’t susceptible (is that the correct word?) to burning in. Plasma TVs ond OLED display have that problem. But iPads use regular LCDs.
I’ve seen a number of posts regarding image burn in on IPads another Apple LCD displays. It’s not the same as a CRT, but it still happens.

I use Tileboard on my old iPad, it has a screensaver feature and it much nicer to use compared to the Homeassistant UI
Even with autorotate you will get burn in long term.
Many displays shift x1 pixel up down per frame or some other method to reduce burn in but I forget how to check for such features. Even these case burn in will occur.
Only prevention is blank screen or maybe drastic brightness reduction when not required. Maybe some motion detection plus change to blank input or change to screen mode set to low brightness.
Anyway, this takes long time (yrs mostly) and depending on screen may not matter much
EDIT
Since it is iPad. Can you just let it go to sleep.
Or just keep brightest at low comfortable level to reduce this. Dark mode maybe?
