Thank you DrMor, for your detailed instructions. I am a newbie in this area. However, I have managed to install HA and fully kiosk. I have also integrated eufy into HA. However, I didnt get to set it up with the two requirements you listed. For point two I can’t find the REPO “Wallpaper”. What I have found is “Wallpanel” from HACS. Is that what you mean? Can you please send me detailed instructions on how to set this up? I can adjust the entity so that I don’t have a doorbell and I only want an image to be displayed in HA when motion is detected. Is it still possible to set that if the image is displayed in full screen when motion is detected?
Do I still have to integrate Tasker into HA?

This guide here is not about WebRTC and it is not about showing the Eufy video/images in Home Assistant. I’ve given up on the ability to do that reliably. So instead, this guide allows you, when an event happens such as a doorbell ringing, to automatically open the Eufy app on the Android tablet, and to immediately show the live feed from their own app, and not through Home Assistant.
You’ve previously said that your tablet goes into sleep mode and you therefore cannot see the video, and my suggestion to you back then was to not use a screensaver in the tablet at all (in the tablet setting you completely disable the option to turn off the screen after a timeout). Instead, in the Fully Kiosk Browser app, you have a setting in that app to define a wallpaper. If you define a fully black wallpaper as per my instructions then you get the feeling of a blacked out screen after inactivity but in a way that it can be woken up easily when the automation needs it to wake up. I suggest you go back to my guide in the blog post that is linked to the first post here, all the information is there.

So bottom line:

  1. For this particular guide, you need tasker, which is not integrated in HA, it’s just an external application installed on the tablet.
  2. The Tasker app is responsible to launch Eufy application that is also installed on the tablet.
  3. For this guide you do not use any cards on the Home Assistant dashboard.

Good luck.

ok understood. I can imagine that you have given up integrating into HA.
I have adjusted the black wallpaper in fully kiosk and adjusted point 7 in tasker so that fully kiosk is relaunched.
However, I’m still not quite sure how to create the automation in HA? Should the automation be created for eufy or fully kiosk. According to your instructions, it says “close eufy app”

Can I then use your script and maintain it with my entity? I am unfortunately not familiar with the automation.

I do not have a sensor on the door, so I would then use moition detected.
Thank you very much for your support. I think I have then managed with your help

The goal of the automation in Home Assistant is to basically detect when Fully Kiosk Browser is no longer in view (because the Eufy app was launched by the AutoNotification process), and if it happens, to wait a bit, and then to relaunch Home Assistant. This is my automation in Home Assistant:

alias: Turn off EUFY app when door opens
description: ""
mode: single
triggers:
  - entity_id:
      - binary_sensor.front_door_contact_sensor_sensor_open
    from: "off"
    to: "on"
    for:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 0
    trigger: state
conditions: []
actions:
  - if:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: sensor.wall_mounted_tablet_foreground_app
        state: de.ozerov.fully
    then:
      - wait_for_trigger:
          - entity_id:
              - sensor.wall_mounted_tablet_foreground_app
            from: de.ozerov.fully
            trigger: state
        timeout:
          hours: 0
          minutes: 0
          seconds: 20
          milliseconds: 0
        continue_on_timeout: false
  - data:
      message: command_launch_app
      data:
        package_name: de.ozerov.fully
    action: notify.mobile_app_sm_p610

It gets triggered when the front door opens (you can modify it to whatever you want), then it check to see if the Fully Kiosk app is in the foreground, eventually launching it if it doesn’t happen by itself within 20 seconds.
You can obviously adapt this logic to whatever you want. This is not critical to the entire process, I just like to re-show the Home Assistant dashboard after the Eufy app is no longer needed.

Thanks, what is the action in the last line for your cell phone? what do you need this action for?
