WallPanel for Android Redux

You are confusing quotes with apostrophes. It’s contains an apostrophe.

Just leave the apostrophes out of the text. I doubt that TTS pays much attention to them anyway.

Yeah, not intentionally, a single quote is the same as an apostrophes. But yeah, my suggestion was to use “It is” rather than “it’s” but just using its is probably the same to TTS.

What is the command for changing the screen brightness? I can see the sensor setup, en mention of the ability to adjust brightness, but its not mentioned in the command list.

I updated the documentation, it was missing. It would be "{“brightness”: 1}. The value should be between 1-255. https://github.com/thanksmister/wallpanel-android/blob/master/README.md#commands

Would anyone be interested in a custom component like Fully Kiosk has?

I just stumbled upon this. I have tried it and I like it. However, I wish it has option to lock down the device in kiosk mode so that other users cannot exit the app and change the settings like how Fully Kiosk Browser is. Anyway, thanks for this app.

is there a way to configure mqtt to connect over tls using the ca-cert (mosq-ca.crt in my case)? for example, mqtt.fx has a tab when configuring connection for this…

I think to allow MQTT to use a certificate a new feature would have to be added to upload the certificate to use for the application. I use the Paho MQTT library and it has the feature, but I think it needs to have the certificate to allow this.

Here is the Paho library documentation: https://www.eclipse.org/paho/clients/android/

You can add a feature request to the Github project page https://github.com/thanksmister/android-mqtt-alarm-panel/issues. Here is the

I was using this Wallpanel since v.5x I think, and I like the thing.
Updated it to 0.8.5.6 few months ago and noticed it loses connection, every now and again when it wakes up I see Connection lost, reconnecting…
It is especially annoying as I use it to disarm my alarm and on few occasions it took too long for the panel to reconnect and it triggered the alarm :expressionless:
Downgraded it to 0.8.5.5, the apparent issue is it shows Network unavailable if I turn on Start on boot option and restart the device.
However, if I then click Back and Dashboard (or relaunch the app), everything works fine.

It would be great to sort out that frequent disconnection issue as I don’t really like using older versions.

The issue isn’t that is disconnecting too often, its that its showing the alert for the disconnected network. At some point your network is getting disconnected. Probably your device is turning off the WiFi when it goes into sleep mode or there is an extra setting on your device to keep the WiFi connection active.

Well, I set my tablet to keep WiFi on during sleep and disabled any battery optimisation from the start as it is plugged in 24/7/365.

I start using this today and loving it! I just have a comment and question.

  • when the room is dark dimming screen or turning off triggers the motion sensor and wakes the screen again, practically keeping screen always on but I understand this is not something this app can help
  • and my question is, is it possible to adjust multimedia volume of the tablet? Being able to Increase/ decrease volume with TTS or alarm sound would be useful.
    Thanks again, you are doing a good job.

Once I saw the same issue when I was typing in the code.
Apparently it has something to do with my access point.
Therefore reinstalled the latest version.

Any chance of this working on my galaxy note 10.1? Android 4.1.2. Can’t load ha dashboard.

You can try the legacy version https://github.com/thanksmister/wallpanel-android-legacy.

Dear @thanksmister.
I cannot reply to your question within the issue #64 as it says “You can’t comment at this time.”
It says the same when I try to create a new issue.

Is it just a glitch or you’ve consciously blocked me for some reason?

Im very happy with this app. It is perfect for wake screen of my tablet using the sensors of my alarm.
Thank you.

I just bought a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P7510) with Android 4.0. I thought it would work, but I couldn’t get it to load. I found a unofficial Android 8.1 Rom and I flashed it. The tablet is incredibly slow, but for wallpanel it works like a charm. Only my floorplan reacts with a small delay, but that might be because it uses big PNG-files.

You might be able to find something here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-1/development
