Hi ! What I can see most of you mounted tablets on wall. That’s what I want to do so :slight_smile: Question is how have you solve charging ? I have two cat5 cables on the wall, so I am thinking about docking station which I can remotely power on via those cable. Advantage of such installation i…

Just run your charging cable in the wall and into the tablet. The wall mounts hide it all nice and clean. Don’t use “wireless” charging as it will severely decrease your battery life and damage it as it is not a solid constant trickle charge. I also recommend against magnetic mounting for obvious re…

I don’t need 30Amps as power supply for tablets :slight_smile: Solution with proper mount and connecting std charger is not inline with take it out from the wall. It will be not convenient.

It looks that even std Qi charger can keep Nexus on it: [Stick your Nexus 7 to the wall - wireless charger] [image] Nexus Wireless Charger (2013) Review: You Get What You Pay For Question is: Is it enough to keep it on the wall, even when we using i…

You do if you have a lot of devices running off of it :wink:

I think I have done it :slight_smile: So I decided to go with used Nexus 7 2013, due to fact that it has build in wireless charger. In the beggining I was thinking to use OEM charger, which is magnetic and it should be able to keep tablet on it (attached video above), but I can not find such charge…

This is what I am missing :slight_smile:. Up to now when motion is detected I got main page of Openab’s app, but it is not nice and not easy to read just the most important parameters. I have tried with some remote controler app, and Today I have found Rotini. Looks very promising, even I have regis…

I tried to install the coil inside the LG but it wouldn’t charge, I think the coil is just too cheap :slight_smile: So the coil is just stuck to the back of the tablet with tape and it’s working really well, even with the screen on full brightness it does not drain the battery at all while charging…

It could be the coil but I found the distance an issue. I had the coil inside a Nexus 7 2012 with velcro on the wall. when it was stuck on you had to give it a little push to get it closer to start charging. Josh

That’s why finally I decided to buy Nexus 7 2013 due to wireless charging. I had this silicon cover, it is 1-1.5mm thin + ca 2-3 mm distance inside charger and it works, even on charger for few Euros :slight_smile: BTW. Do you use something like motion detection to wake up device ? I have tried mo…

Looks great! I spent a while trying to buy a 2013 Nexus 7 but could not find one. I ended up with a LG GPad 7 mounted using velcro strips for now with an after market Qi receiver for wireless charging. Have you tried Rotini as an interface for openhab? It’s pretty cool!
