WallPanel for Android [Formerly HomeDash]

Hey so ive been checking wallpanel
Im using browser mod to popup a camera screen when motion is detected
I managed to get the popup to show the camera feed but i have to manually press the “play” button to get the feed going

Anyone have an idea what can i do to bypass this?

Hello, I have installed the Wallpanel system on a tablet to act as a remote from my HA server, it is going very well, fantastic job, but I would like to know if it is possible to randomly play some different mp3s each time an automation is executed.

now I use the following system …
payload: ‘{’ ‘audio’ ‘:’ ‘http: //X.X.X.X: 8123 / local / xxxx.mp3’ ‘}’

and I would like to know if there could be a template that randomly reproduces other mp3s

Thanks for helping, greetings

Hi
I set up WallPanel on my tablet and got the mqtt sensor entities into Hass, but there is no brightness entity. I want to control the brightness of my tablet via NodeRed but I could’nt find out how to do this. (I know, still have to learn a lot…:wink: Much appreciated, if anybody could help me with this.

Brightness does not create an entity, but can be controlled by MQTT.

service: mqtt.publish
data:
  payload: '{"brightness": 1}'
  topic: wallpanel/mywallpanel/command

Changes the screens brightness, value 1-255

Thank you

I’ve had a similar problem with my Galaxy Tab S8.4 tablet. Though I’m not sure if it goes into the background, or crashes, or what? I was wondering if it there was some memory leak in there, making it slow down or exhaust memory and swap? I tried simplifying the dashboard, dropped some custom cards that were complex to reduce the pile of javascript the poor thing has to deal with.

I ended up testing Fully Kiosk, which seems to continue to run for days and weeks at a time. However, it’s got an issue trying to use the camera in the tablet and I liked the screensaver clock display that WallPanel has…

I think I had read somewhere that both of these use the Android WebView component to render the HTML and Javascript, so it’s probably not the complexity of the Home Assistant dashboard that’s the issue.

I may try to re-install Fully Kiosk to see if I can get the camera motion detection to work, but I’d really like to continue to use WallPanel. Any suggestions for debugging this further? Are there some logs somewhere that might provide some hints on what’s going on?

Is it possible to have multiple wall panels in one house? With only one it was working fine, since I have add second one, one of the two always has problems, hanging, not showing anything etc. At the beginning I through it is happening just randomly, but now I’m almost sure this is hapend since I add the second, and only one at a time is working, while the other not

That is like asking if more than one web browser can access the www at once.

I have two identical tablets. With only one there Was no problem at all. Since I have the second, non is working fine, always in or the other is crashing… It also make no sense to me, but both are after factory reset and randomly crashing the way, that only one at time is working fine…

They haven’t accidentally got the same ip address have they?

The problem was propably same setting for MQTT. Now both are working fine, but the motion detection from camera is waking up only one of them. However in camera test they both say motion is detected. What can be causing the issue?

Hi guys.
I cannot find Wallpanel on Google Play. Is it only me?

You are not alone. Here is the answer

Thanks for info.
As it is my favorite one, it scared me a bit :sweat_smile:

For the love of everything holy on this earth, can somebody please tell me how to access wallpanel settings? I cant figure out how to do it! I may have changed some option that hid the settings or something.

If you are using the version where the setting is activated by a password, you have a symbol in one corner which, when clicked, will prompt you to enter the password.
If you hid the symbol still there is a corner. The default password if you have not changed it is 1234

Is there any news about that? i restored my smartphone and need to install this app again.
