New Guy here with a general question about HE

[erktrek]

Are those running on your RPi? I am curious about how those 7" screens are working. An alternative that I've been discussing with people in some other threads is using an inexpensive tablet like the Amazon FireHD and running an application called "Fully Kiosk". I was able to purchase the tablets in the US for around $50 with special offers and then root/disable most of the apps and change the launcher.

Here are some threads on the subject:

Wall Mountable POE Tablet for Dashboards?

I know some people have fit other tablets to their walls for a control dashboard, but I was wondering if anyone has looked at getting a wall mountable tablet from alibaba or such. They seem to do pretty cheap android tablets that can even be POE powered. Example Glenn.

Wall Panel App for Android

I have found a new app on the play store that I really like so far for displaying a dashboard on my wall-mounted tablet. It's called, intuitively enough, Wall Panel. Seems to load a lot better on my very old tablets (1st Gen Kindle Fire and Samsung Galaxy Tab 3) than Fully Kiosk does. Liking it so far. It works great for Sharptools.

Fully Kiosk: Dashboard not updating changes in status

I am running two fire tablets with fully kiosk. I am having an issue when I turn a switch on from the outlet or from one of the other tablets, not all of them will update. It will show switches on that are not and vice versa. If I get out of the dashboard and go back in it will show display correctly. Any ideas?
