It is really hard to say what could be closing the app. Usually when it works for long periods of time the closes, it’s related to app performance or network related.
The app could be out if memory and the system will shut the app down. It could be something with MQTT and connecting to the server fails.
You may be able to run tasker to launch the app again if it closes. I would also be sure the app is always the foreground app using a screensaver, there is one built in.
I have the same issue. It used to run fine (a year or so ago), but lately it will not run longer than a few hours to max a day I’m using the latest beta with new MQTT client (correct?).
I tried a lot. Running it as home app/launcher. Pinning it. Running it as full screen, etc.
I think I have all permissions set, although I can’t set “Display over other apps” for this app.
It might be google play notifying about any app update (which I haven’t set to auto update)?
The only reason why I’m still using this app over the standard companion app is that the command_screen_on notification just doesn’t work consistently in the companion app and using tasker and autoremote is also unreliable. The screen on REST API of this app is the best, but of course also breaks when the app crashes
What event should I configure in tasker to trigger it to restart the app?
Oops sorry, I wasn’t on v0.9.6-beta.0 yet, since that can only be side-loaded. I just did that. Let’s see if it fixes stuff.
Update: No difference with v0.9.6-beta.0, the app still crashes
Hi, I have two teclast p80 and p80h tablets. Both configured the same way (let say for 99%). Motion detection is Set to Front camera and same settings. When I go to test tab, both are showing motion detection. Later when their screens are both off, only one is waking up, the other is not. What can be the reason? Maybe anyone has an idea what a setting I forgot to set on one of the tablets? Thank you in advance!
I’m curious if there are any news as it is, Indeed much easier and faster than “fully kiosk”.
For me, it “loose” internet every day. The app warns there’s no connectivity (while the tablet has). A shut down of the app and restarts makes it worth again…
Try “WallPanel”. It’s made in a way that replaces Android’s home screen. I find it somewhat easier on CPU than Fully Kiosk. It also hase movement detection, like Fully.
I’m a software developer with 15 years professional experience, but don’t have any experience with Android development. I can’t pick this up for full-time maintenance, but would you accept pull requests to fix bugs?
Have you considered creating a GitHub org so you can add/remove maintainers as they come and go, rather than transferring the repo to one single developer?
Is there a reason the repo is a brand new one rather than moved from the old location (or forked from it)? It doesn’t have any of the stars of the old one
Would you consider moving the repo to a GitHub organization rather than passing it from maintainer to maintainer?
I considered it, but I don’t really have time to maintain my own fork. I do want to try and get the face detection working on Amazon Fire tablets at some point though.
The project was located to a new maintainer and transferred fully to that maintainer. However that maintainer totally abandoned the project and did not respond when I asked to return the project.
So we moved the entire project to a new repository and maintainer, breaking the connection to the previous project. We do not want to be dependent on the previous repository.
I’d you have some suggestions or want to contribute to the project rather than creat your own fork, post an issue on the new project site.
Face detection is a Google Play library and as far as I know it has no issues in Amazon tablets as those are the drives I used for development. The ML library is local. I’m the settings there is a setting to test your camera. Perhaps you have a Google Play library missing or out of date?
I have all the Google Play stuff installed, including Google Play Services and Google Play Store. I still get “Missing appropriate libraries to process Face detection or Barcode reading. These features may not work on this device”
There’s existing issues about it here:
I was using the camera for motion detection (without the face detection option) but didn’t find it very accurate - it would trigger if I turn lights on or off for example. I ended up installing a spare Aqara Zigbee motion sensor near the tablet and using the Wallpanel MQTT API to dim/brighten the screen based on the motion sensors. That’s working well.
has anyone figure out how to launch an external application?
Per documentation Using the url command {"url": "http://<url>"}, you can load other applications using the intent: scheme URL for that application. For exxample, to launch the Ring app, you would use this as the url schema:
Been using Wallpanel for a while and it´s working great, however, i´ve done some changes to my Home Assistant main page panel and Wallpanel is stuck on the old, is there a way to clear the cache? I don´t want to clear the cache for the whole of Wallpanel, just the main page.
I’m using the latest beta with new MQTT client (correct?).
