[Deprecated] Fully Kiosk Director

Introducing 'Fully Kiosk Director'
Take control of a Fully Kiosk device!

With my 'time off' I was able to finally look into using the Fully Kiosk Browser Controller driver to control my tablets. I wanted to show video from my cameras on my Fully Kiosk tablets when certain conditions happened and then automatically go back to Fully after a set time. The driver made it possible, this app makes it happen where and when I direct it to. :sunglasses:

Thanks to @gavincampbell for the awesome driver!

Features:

  • Control any Fully device based on Contact Sensor, Motion Sensor, Switch or Time.
  • Uses all functions available in the Fully Kiosk Browser Controller driver.
  • Can switch back to Fully after trigger ends or after a set time.
  • Ability to pause any child app
  • Parent/Child App structure
  • Create as many child apps as needed

Note: To be honest, I don't use many of the features available in the app. But they are in the driver, so I made them available. Please visit the driver post listed above for more details on what each option does and how to use them. Thanks!

Apps can be found on my GitHub or by using the Hubitat Package Manager.
(HPM is highly recommended)

When reporting problems...

  • Be sure you are on the latest version. I won't troubleshoot an older version.
  • Turn on debug and screenshot the issue happening in the log. One line or just the error doesn't cut it. I need a log.
  • Post the screenshot of the log with an explanation of the problem.

Thanks

Examples:
This is how I setup my Back Porch Camera to come on when there is motion...

  • Virtual Device: Living Room Tablet
  • Triggers
    • Motion: Back Porch Multisensor
  • Before Options:
    • Stop Screensaver
  • Display Options:
  • After Options:
    • Bring Fully to Front
    • Load Start URL

Done!

Note: In this example, the camera link is to my Blue Iris Server, specifying which camera I want to see. But you can load ANY url that you choose.

Bryan, hats off to you for another great and very useful app! It's funny that you spent your "time off" developing a new app :joy:

New version on Github...

V1.0.2 - 05/20/19 - Added Time to triggers

6

this is unreal. thanks so much.

I can't seem to create child trigger automation without entering 1-60 for Every X Minutes (1 to 60)*

I don't want it to run every minute - only when motion is triggered.

thanks

Sorry about that. Change line 94 to false... 'required: false'
or re-download the file.

Thanks

How do you use the Launch App Package option? Would this be for launching soemthing like the Rapid Ring app?

10

it needs an input like 'com.nest.android'

See more about usage here.

I believe I tried everything I can think of and I have left a post on the controller thread but thought I would ask here. I am trying to get my public Nest Hello Camera stream to display for two minute over my dashboard when it detects motion. I am using a fire HD-8 with the latest Fully kiosk Plus and believe I have all the recommended settings set properly (numerous times). I can't figure out what I doing wrong. Has anyone gotten it to work? If so can you share suggestions?

I just tried it with a Google Nest Public Test camera link. I don't use fire tablets but have some Samsung tablets.

I used a virtual test switch to turn this on/off. The only problem I came across is that the video itself doesn't auto play.

In the app:

  • BEFORE Display Options: Stop Screensaver
  • Display Options - Load URL: https://video.nest.com/live/wSbs3mRsOF
    -- Replace the last 10 digits with your code
  • AFTER Display Options: Load start URL

@bptworld That is exactly how I have set up Fully Kiosk director. I suspect that I have not set up Fully Kiosk or the Fire OS android settings correctly but I cannot for the life of me figure out what settings are incorrect. i have followed your setup instructions and looked at all Fully Kiosk settings. any suggestions on what I should check? Are you aware of anyone who is doing this that I might check with?

I'm running this app successfully loading up my web cams but I'm trying to create another child to launch an app on the kindle, the intent works fine as a dashboard tile but doesn't come up when triggering on FKD using the app section but dose as a url.
intent:#Intent;launchFlags=0x10000000;component=com.feng.ktcurtainscontroller/com.example.feng.ktcurtainscontroller.ui.SplashActivity;end

16

brilliant tool, I had it set to send a camera feed on motion which worked fine, but then I added a restriction ( latter settings) between 21:00 and 09:00 and now its not running. Is there an issue with time ranges overnight?

17

would need to see a debug log.

18

I've turned it on will see 2moz

19

The check time is showing false when should be true.
Because is using date as well as time in the equation?
