Wall mount tablet

Anyone here used an Amazon tablet as their wall mount display? Tomorrow is Amazon Prime Day and I am sure the deals will include a tablet.

Would love to see some pics of the setup!

Still hoping to see some people post their setups :slight_smile:

I am redoing some of my kitchen and looking to mount my tablet somewhere. Can’t wait to see how others are doing it.

I use a combination of the following for my HA “control center” in the kitchen:

  • Nexus 7 tablet
  • Google wireless charger
  • a Koala-brand mounting kit I bought on Amazon
  • A 1/4" sheet of black plexiglass
  • Command hook adhesive strips

I could have just mounted using the mounting kit and plugged it in with a wire, but I liked the idea of being able to slide the tablet out for streaming, recipes, etc. The 1/4" plexiglass is cut to size and glued to the back of the mounting kit pieces.

The charger and the mounting pieces are both affixed using command hook strips. Not the prettiest when the tablet is out, but it looks pretty good when everything is all in place, I think. The wife at least doesn’t hate it, and she’s an interior designer.

This is my setup in the hallway.
I bought a cheap tablet and mounted a wooden frame on it.

The frontend is hadashboard that @aimc ported from dashing.

That looks great! What tablet did you go with?

Its an i-onik TU-1201A with an 10" screen.
The performance is not the best but it works to brows a webpage on the wall.

Yeah I’m guessing if it’s just running Dashing the most important thing is screen resolution, rather than processing power?

Yes exactly :slight_smile: the resolution on this on works fine for me i don’t have that many tiles.
But sometimes it feels a bit slow but i can live with that.

I am interested in having 2-3 wall mount tablets throughout the house that will wake via the camera and wifi to HASS. Does anyone have any recommendations? I have an older Acer 10" Android but it does not seem to be compatible with the wake function.

I may or may not eventually link to HaDashboard as well not that it should really matter for general requirements.
