Hello, i want to make something similar like this: https://youtu.be/l7FkoDgWB28?si=K3nFxqFPv7OKtnx8

But where i live i can not order an Amazon Fire HD tablet. They don’t deliver them to my country. Is it only possible to make use Home assist and Fully kiosk on those tablets or can it also be installed and set up the same way on different tablets with Android for example?

Fully Kiosk Browser on Amazon Fire Tablet and in Home Assistant

We’re setting up the Fire HD8 tablet with Fully Kiosk Browser for a wall mounted dashboard; not only will it display my lovelace dashboard, but we can also integrate it into Home Assistant for additional control!

For the integration to work; make sure you enable remote access in the settings

Any tablet could reasonable be used

#

But you want to pick one which can be put into some form of constant / safe charge mode so that the battery doesn't go whacky

#

The kiosk app used however is a bit sketchy and may not work properly with all devices or android versions

Thank you, i just bought a Samsung Galagxy Tab 8A. Will see what it is capable of 😄 Just gonna experiment with it. Maybe there are better alternatives to get a nice GUI on the tablet for in the living room. Does Home Assist not have one that could be used so no other apps are needed?
