Thanks, let me test this and I will get back to you tomorrow with my results.
Hi! i have an update, got the TTS to work, it was an issue in the phone itself. but still no luck regarding the QR
What was the issue with the phone? I think the QR code isnât getting sent for some reason, this was already reported and I will investigate today and hopefully issue a fix.
the galaxy s6 had samsung set to TTS provider and not google, when i changed it the function started to work. the tablet has to old Android system.
aha, hoping for progress 
I verified that the QR code is being sent as an MQTT message. The default topic is alarmpanel/sensor/qrcode and the payload is something like {âvalueâ:âhttp://bit.ly/GiraDischiâ}. Is it possible that the value not being parsed properly in the configuration yaml? Maybe âvalue_template: â{{ value_json.value }}ââ is not working on the json.
I have now tried again with no luck. when i try in Camera test mode, i get a note on the tablet with the adress that the QR code i pointing to. ( nothing on the MQTT ) then i start the dashboard and the other messages start to appear but when i hold the QR code at the exakt same place there is no registration of the QR code and nothing on the MQTT, i have added a picture when i MQTT.fx sniffing at the same time.
Same behavior on both devices

Yeah, sorry, I was testing the Alarm Panel application which worked, but I donât see the QR code is being detected on the WallPanel application. Let me get back to you, thanks!
I pushed out a new release with a fix for QR Code reading, look for update v0.8.3.9.
I have tried it now and itâs working, awsome! And thank you!

After following this thread I have managed to disable the lockscreen on my 7" 5th gen Fire Tablet. Having used the old WallPanel until now I tested that, and everything was working fine so far. I then chose to switch to your version, but encountered a problem.
I worked through most of your beta-releases (is there a reason why you donât publish APKs of the stable releases?). The latest version that is working for me is 0.8.1.7.
Every version after that seems to work fine at first sight, but fails at waking up the screen. I am not sure if the device crashes or if itâs just the screen that wonât come back to life. But the only thing I can do at this point is holding the power button, which eventually leads to the device booting again. Unfortunately a sideeffect of disabeling the lockscreen is the loss of ADB. For that reason I donât really have a pointer what the issue may be, and if the the device is crashing or if itâs just the screen that does not light up.
Anyhow, the older beta is working, so I donât ask for any bugfix here. Just wanted to notify you that such an issue exists with those old tablets, and the source of that problem was introduced after 0.8.1.7.
Why do you have to restart the device, why canât you just pull up/down the Android controls and clear the app from the tasks? Itâs not disabling the android controls, its just a fullscreen application.
Most likely its not initiating the camera on your device. I am using the Google Vision API to do motion and face detection which was added after 0.8.1.7. Have you tried the camera test after turning on the camera and face or motion detection? Was there any issues at that point? Thatâs my first guess, the second is that something with wake look and your version of OS. What version of Android are you specifically running?
To answer to your first reply: the screen is off at that point in time. So thereâs nothing to pull down. The only thing to revive the device is using the power button.
Generally the camera is working. If I move my hand in front of the camera just as the screen turns off it turns back on again. So it seems like after the screen turns off it first goes into some screen-off-idle-state, and after some more time it goes into a depper sleep from which it canât wake up. Donât know if that makes sense, but thatâs how I observe it.
PS: Fire OS 5.6.1.0 is the version.
Thatâs the correct behavior for Android, so when you devices goes into deep sleep, its unable to awake using the wake lock. It could be your device requires a certain type of wakelock, but I would need your Android version to attempt to duplicate the issue. You may try to turn on Daydream, this is what I have on my older devices to prevent deep sleep. This is part of the device settings and I set mine to Daydream (with the clock or colors) after about a minute. It seems to work on my older Nexus 7 (2009) which is running Android 5.0.1, a pretty old tablet.
Stupid me. I didnât have the device attached to USB-power. With attached power it doesnât go into deep sleep. In fact, it only dims the screen instead of turning it off completely. Which is fine I guess, since in that case I can use the latest version.
To fix that, use Daydream feature, itâs the default screen saver.
I donât have that on my Fire Tablet. Not sure if thatâs bacause of Amazon, or just because itâs too old. Itâs 5th gen, so a few years already. For me itâs fine like this. Thanks for the effort.
Iâm having trouble getting the battery sensor to work. I just see a â-â in the battery sensor
My configuration
sensor:
- platform: mqtt
state_topic: "wallpanel/mywallpanel/sensor/battery"
name: "WallPanel Battery Level"
unit_of_measurement: "%"
value_template: ''
I have the sensor reporting turned on in the wall panel app. My Mosquitto QTT log shows my tablet is connecting
1538113488: New connection from 192.168.1.215 on port 1883.
What am I doing wrong?
I figured it out. I was missing the value template
- platform: mqtt
state_topic: "wallpanel/mywallpanel/sensor/battery"
name: "WallPanel Battery Level"
unit_of_measurement: "%"
value_template: '{{ value_json.value }}'I feel stupid for asking this but, i cant find the settings for this app after the initial setup! Cant find any buttons to get out of the fullcsreen. Cant find anything in the android settings. Havent used this tablet for a long time. Help?
