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.
Dear @thanksmister.
I cannot reply to your question within the issue #64 as it says âYou canât comment at this time.â
It says the same when I try to create a new issue.
Is it just a glitch or youâve consciously blocked me for some reason?
I just bought a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P7510) with Android 4.0. I thought it would work, but I couldnât 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.
Just would like to say thanks. I have fully kiosk thingy but it was just a lot of stuff and didnât really work as i wanted. This one seems to be just fine.
Having the screensaver on with the timer is the assumed method to keep it always on i presume?
Since having the screen totally disabled is not the case right? I have it now dim to 0% and only show the clock. When i walk next to it it will turn on.
Do see on mqtt that the face is going from false to true constantly if i am in front of it.
Yeah using screen dimming with the screensaver or using Google Daydream is the way to keep the application running. You canât really turn off the screen so dimming is as good as it gets. I prefer Daydream but not all devices have this feature. I think Daydream uses less energy and you donât have to dim the screen with this option because Daydream does that for you. The built-in screensaver is for devices that do not support Daydream like Amazon tablets.
I looked into the daydream, i presume your referring to the normal screensaver of android, just bougth a galaxy tab a 10.5 so pretty new. I see now random colors (dimmed) and donât have to put the app in âalways on modeâ if i wave my hand it turns back to my home assistant screen.
That said, is this for every screen saver i would install and does this impact the live span of the device with such a screensaver? (i would think it would be ok, its not like back in the old days)
Daydream is the way to, it was built by Google and will take care not to burn your screen. It has other options, such as a clock I believe, which is also nice.
Gotcha, took https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.ultimateDayDream which has a clock in it too. Clock is fine, donât need fancy stuff on it. A calendar would be nice but it would disappear anyway if your in front of it. (home assistant doesnât has a good calendar overview function)
And here is my current setup now. Samsung galaxy tab a 10.5 with a vidabox wall mount. Made pictures with and without the cover so you can see clearly the tab tucked away in it.
I think overall it could be done with a cheaper tablet too like a firehd one but i cannot order those in .nl and though having a proper tablet would last a bit longer for now.
I like it the size of the screen and the mount. I have a Fire tablet, but like you, I had trouble getting it here in AR. The Fire tablets donât have the best version of Android in my opinion, it would be better to have stock Android on the device.
Good to know, sometimes getting something cheap isnât always the right choice. In this setup everything works as it should.
Does anybody have a package or examples where they jump to an alarm panel tab and goes back to a normal tab if the alarm is turned off?
If the misses or me comes home it will detect the phones and disable the alarm, if we come in it shows a normal panel with information. If somebody else comes it can display a screen with only an alarm panel. After the alarm is disarmed by means of a code it will jump back to that same panel the misses and me had. (i presume this is how someone would use it, correct me if i am wrong)
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: alarm_control_panel.home_alarm
to: 'disarmed'
Which would do an mqtt action to change the view to the normal one. Have to work this out a bit more, hence if someone has something like this would help a lot
