Freekiosk anyone?

I’ve never heard of of freekiosk until now and after reviewing how freekiosk compares its self against fullykiosk… free does not give me the warm and fuzzies. While i’m a big fan of open source and having good app selections there are somethings freekiosk gets wrong/purposely incomplete about fully.

  • Fully supports more Android OS versions. Fully just dropped support for Android 5
  • Fully IS free but if you want advanced features it’s only ~£8 per device forever.
  • Fully added MQTT support in 1.3.4 ~2019
  • Fully reports its privacy in the play store, it’s not unknown
  • Fully provides complete lockdown: no status bar, no notifications, no navigation buttons, automatic restart on crash, and no way for users to exit the kiosk… w/o the need for device owner.

From the use case you posted about:
Fully can use the android camera as a motion detector and turn the screen on w/o an extra device or hubitat. It’s a setting in the app and is a plus feature.

Plus this community driver exposes the camera as a motion sensor and SO, SO much more

If you are looking for a project, something to expand your tech knowledge Freekiosk looks perfect, though i’d hold off on the MQTT bits till those MQTT bugs are fixed in GA from the release notes.
