In my kitchen I have previously mounted an Android Tablet for a physical dashboard to have quick access to Hubitat web dashboards. It works well using Fully Kiosk Browser to "wake up" the dashboard when I approach it. Two problems. First, as the Android tablet is always plugged in, I've had 2 LiPo batteries swell rendering the tablet dead. Second, could really use 4K resolution as some of the dashboards are big.
So looking at 4k touchscreen options - wondering if anyone else has accomplished this. 4K touchscreen monitors are expensive (but worth it if this works) - could drive with Raspberry Pi, NUC PC...
My wife and I were on vacation recently and the condo had a large dashboard, probably 16X24 inches. My wife could see it in my eyes and the wheels turning in my head. "It's too big." I have always wanted a large, mounted dashboard. Maybe someday.
Installing the Tasker app for about $4 on the tablet and plugging it into a Smart plug will solve that problem. I have one tablet and two phones on the wall set up that way. Let me know if you want details.
Tasker will allow you to do a whole lot of things with Android devices and is well worth the $4. That Will cover installing it on all of your devices, not per device,
Thanks for the link!
I'll give it a try on my older tablet that has a swelling issue.
Funny that my oldest tablet is fine after multiple years of constant charging.
