Hey, could you drop me an email so I can help you troubleshoot this better? Swipe screen should be dismissed but I’d need to gather some more info about your device and your settings.
Make sure you have a green checkmark next to “Background Access”, not excluding the app from battery optimizations could cause the lock screen to get stuck.
The behaviour changed several times - I am sure I haven’t changed any settings meanwhile - the tablet has been lying on the table. Not sure what causes it.
-
Tablet started to wake on motion, not showing the lock screen anymore - showing HA app - just as expected. But - the issue is that the tablet went into a state where Android navigation does not work: e.g. I cannot go back to the Home screen - swiping up does not bring out android “back / home / applications” buttons. Swiping down does not bring Android options. HA app is shown permanently without an obvious way to close it.
-
I restart the tablet via Power button.
-
After that it seems to work alright - just what I had right after the installation: display goes into sleep, motion wakes it up and HA App is displayed.
So I am not sure what triggered the behaviour I witnessed:
- lock screen is shown after wake-up, which requires swiping up,
- Android controls go missing, the only remedy is to restart via power button.
Sometimes a restart is the best remedy for everything
I have had issues with the Amazon OTA updater that caused similar symptoms for me in the past (e.g. swipe or navigation not working, apps can not be opened until restarted). Unfortunately unless you completely airgap these devices (a.k.a. remove internet access altogether) the Amazon updater will do its own thing anytime it wants to.
Anyway, I’m glad that everything is working once again. If not feel free to reach out and I’m happy to assist.
Hello @Balint133 and many thanks for your app, it’s working just fine!
I was wondering whether it could expose some entities in HA in order for example to record the video when nobody is at home but the tablet webcam spots a motion, just like a sort of “alarm” system with recording capabilities and then send a notification or trigger an action.
Do you think is doable??
EDIT: after 5 days I had to uninstall the app as the battery drained very fast. Without the app: standy time around 3-4 days
With tha app installed (no camera stream enabled): less than 1 day.
I have a quick question, does this enable me to use the camera in frigate somehow?
That would allow me to get rid of the android ip webcam app that is so nosey that it even asks for a stool sample
I am playing with it right now and dont get past:

The yaml go2rtc part looks like this

and the camera section like this

Nice work
But I tried on Android 7 but there don’t really wanna connect to the camera unfortunately
But the streaming is working
Thanks
Excellent app. works well on a 2021 FireHD10
Thank you for a really great app.
I installed it on my FireHD 2019, direct download. Some gymnastics was needed, because Silk browser didn’t want to open the .apk. Then I clicked ‘open in new tab.’ and it asked me if I want to download from untrusted yada yada.
The video stream works great.
The screen is turning on as expected.
The only thing I can not resolve is the FireHD lock screen. Whe the screen turns on, I have to slide up to get rid of the lock screen.
So I can’t get rid of FKB yet.
Or, do any of FireHD users have an idea how to get rid of the lock screen? I have already tried everything (fire tools etc.).
I got it working with friagte:
table_cam:
ffmpeg:
input_args: -avoid_negative_ts make_zero -fflags nobuffer -flags low_delay -strict experimental -fflags +genpts+discardcorrupt -use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1

Hi Balint133,
Thank you very much for your application, it works perfectly on my Samsung tablet! I’ve also tried FullyKiosk, and yakk suits my needs better.
Can I suggest setting up a password or access key for the camera feed? It seems that the stream is open to everyone and that there is no privacy protection in this case (maybe I’m wrong?).
Thanks again for your very good app!
THANK YOU! I’ve tried Wallpanel and Fully Kiosk, and this is much closer to what I was looking for, this is awesome!
Another thx a lot for this awesome tool…
Runs great on my Lenovo Meeting screen…
But is there any way to rotate the picture?
The screen on the Lenovo shows it correct, but the stream is 90 degrees tilted…funny wise, it is following the tilt of the screen…so if i flip it to landscape (the device), it will also change the picture on the screen so that it is again 90 degrees off…
This app looks amazing and perfect for my use case as well – simple, and no fuss.
But I’d love for a way to get the Motion Detection status into HA. Right now I can only get the camera feed. And I’m trying Motioneye/Frigate to see if I can make it detect motion from there.
Having the app simply send the Motion Detection status to HA would be so much simpler and make this feature-complete I think. Thanks!
This is great, thanks!
This method solved the problem for me! Fire HD 10 11th Gen, Fire OS 7.3.2.6.

Summary in case the original gets lost:
Install “Activity Launcher” and use it to launch com.android.settings.password.ScreenLockSuggestionActivity. There, you can fully disable the screen lock. It’s persistent across reboots.
I prefer this over wallpanel, fully kiosk etc. - now if we could remove the battery, it would be perfect
Really excited to use this but I keep getting an error- MJPEG streaming port is already in use. Any one else having this error?
Tried to use it on old Samsung tablet with Android 7 (SM-P555) Not connecting to the camera. Will try on different OS
Great project, thanks a lot. One question, Audio ist not available in the audio stream right? i didnt get any sounds from the stream. Would it be possible to get a rtsp stream?
Iam asking because i would like to use it for stream assist / voice assist with openwakup.
thx & br
This is exactly what I was wanting. Now need to finish work to get it installed and tested
Got it installed and seemed to work when set for 15 seconds but now not working (set for 10 minutes) I have reinstalled, rebooted etc. any suggestions at all please for me to try when I get chance ? do I clear the data from the app and reinstall and try again ?
also set to launch on boot and each time I have to manually start the app. Will have another tinker as just seen about activity launcher above and will see if that helps in any way
