Hi, I really donā€™t know what to do anymore! I followed the guide https://smarthomescene.com/guides/wallpanel-home-assistant-screensaver-for-your-wall-mounted-control-panel/, created a new panel, then ā€œEdit control panelā€ ā†’ ā€œEditor settings codeā€ and I put the code right above in the settings code editor, but the app doesnā€™t load it at all :-(. Only the basic things set in wallpanels.js are displayed.
I add this code:

wallpanels:
   enabled: false
   hide_toolbar: true
   hide_sidebar: true
   fullscreen: true
   enabled_on_tabs:
     - tablet-wall
show_forecast: true
info_random_move_interval: 5
info_move_fade_duration: 2
control_reactivation_time: 1
black_screen_after_time: 120
info_animation_duration_x: 15
info_animation_duration_y: 15
info_animation_timing_function_x: ease-in-out
info_animation_timing_function_y: ease-in-out
cards:
   - type: weather-forecast
     entities: weather.home
   - type: custom:sun-card
     showAzimuth: true
     showElevation: true
badges:
   - entities: person.pato88
   - entities: sun.sun
title: Tablet on the wall

Can you advise?

I installed WallPanel on one of my dashboards. It worked great but I couldnā€™t figure out how to exit that mode. I pulled up HA on a couple tablets, browsers and platforms. There was no way I could find to get to settings of other dashboards. I read the docs and didnā€™t find the answer. I managed to get to settings on one device and remove the WallPanel integration.
How does one get out of it?

129

You can add ?wp_enabled=false or ?wp_fullscreen=false to the url.
Maybe I should add the possibility to exit fullscreen mode by tapping/clickingā€¦
Any suggestions welocme.

There are some problems with your configuration.
First of all, the key must be wallpanel, not wallpanels.
The indentation is incorrect.
Please start with a simple configuration and add more settings step by step as needed:

wallpanel:
  enabled: true
  hide_toolbar: false
  hide_sidebar: true
  fullscreen: false
  cards:
     - type: weather-forecast
       entities: weather.home
       show_forecast: true
     - type: custom:sun-card
       showAzimuth: true
       showElevation: true
  badges:
     - entities: person.pato88
     - entities: sun.sun

Thanks for the help, it was really bad formatting of the code. I checked with www.yamllint.com but it didnā€™t find any error. Do you have a tip for a better code validator?
Thanks again!

EDIT: I think I found a quality validator https://jsonformatter.org/yaml-validator

Hi all,

Iā€™m using wallpanel, and it used to work just fine, but after updating HA I canā€™t hide the toolbar any longer. I thought I would find more people running into this issue, but I havenā€™t. Now Iā€™m wondering if this is something in my config that isnā€™t working anymore.

I have updated wallpanel addon as well, but to no avail.

Does anyone have any insights?

This Wall Panel is pretty decent.

I have set up a family calendar and its all working perfectly.

I am wondering if I can point the screen saver to one of my personal google photo folders, so that I can scroll family photos instead of the random ear of corn or the 1960ā€™s footbal stadium etc :slight_smile:

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated

TIA

Rob

Itā€™s possible. Have a look at GitHub - Daanoz/ha-google-photos: Home Assistant Google Photos integration

Calendar as screensaver? How did u do that? =)

136

not as a screen saver, but using the wall panel addon, the calendar card can then have a screen saver that comes on.

137

Thansk j-a-n.

Do you know if it also possible to add a clock to the weather card on the screen saver, or add a serperate clock card?

138

I am using GitHub - wassy92x/lovelace-digital-clock: A custom digital clock card for Home Assistant

139

Thanks j-a-n

I have this clock in my dashboard, I am wondering if it is possiible to put it on the screen saver

Thanks Rob

Yes, you can add it to the cards in the wallpanel configuration. For example:

wallpanel:
  cards:
    - type: custom:digital-clock
      dateFormat:
        weekday: long
        day: 2-digit
        month: short
      timeFormat:
        hour: 2-digit
        minute: 2-digit

anyone get wallpanel working with firehd10 camera motion detection using fully kiosk? i have everything working even created helper for screensaver but can only manually turn it off/on as HA dont seem to see motion detection it just sees on/off(motion detection switch from FK) i do have tablets camera in HA but generically so again not option for motion detected or cleared.

142

I got it sorted out with help of mqtt explorer! The motion sensor from FK is not visible but explorer saw it. Now I just need to find my 7 second delay in automation. HA can now see motion instantly from firehd10 but takes 7 seconds to trigger helper for some reason.

144

I got everything working great! Even with multiple wall mounted tablets thanks to this thread. Is there anyway to dim the screensaver when it turns on? cant seem to find that option. but so far got 3 wall mounted tablets all working with FK, camera motion and browser mod for tablet IDā€™s what a great integration!

Hello,
Iā€™m having trouble with the tags. Iā€™ve got no problems displaying the default ā€œ$DateTimeOriginalā€ but I canā€™t get $keywords to show up (i looked at the js and saw keywords as an option). I used Exif Pilot to create the tags, but under multiple different tags I still canā€™t get the tags to show up. Any recommendations on how to get the keyword tags to show up?

Thanks
