Your setup for a wall mounted tablet

here it is someone asked about it already in unrelated thread:

Hi Chris

The charger is connected to a KNX actor wich turns on for 30 minutes after the presence detector detects a person. It would also be possible to activate the panal via OH item but I want the charger to turn off the most of the day too.

I hope that was understandable.

Thanks for getting back to.
I’m sorry, but the widget / setting I was asking after was the topbar if you could call it that. The one showing the Room Name / Time and Temperature.

it was there in the 8 point thermostat thread

Here is the code.

<div 
        style="
               position: absolute;
               background: rgba(0,0,0,0);
               top: 15px; width: 100%;
               height: 60px;
               border-width: 0px 0px 1px 0px;
               border-style: solid;
               border-color: #666666;
               font-size: 2.3em;
               font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, sans-serif;
               "
         />

<div class="row" style="font-weight: bold;
                        color:#cccccc
                        " >
  <div class="col-md-4" style="top: 2px" >Entrance </div>
  <div class="col-md-4" style="top: -3px">
    	<div ng-init="clockmodel={
                'mode':'digital',
                'font_size':24,
                'digital_format':'HH:mm',               
              }"><p class="text-center"><widget-clock ng-model="clockmodel" style="padding: 0px;" /></p></div></div>
  <div class="col-md-4" style="top: -4px; font-size: 24px;">
    <p class="text-right" style="-webkit-margin-after: -2px;"> Outside: {{'%.1f °C' | sprintf: itemValue('G_Temperature_t2q_Gardenbox')}} </p>	 
    <p class="text-right" style="-webkit-margin-after:  0px;"> Pool: {{'%.1f °C' | sprintf: itemValue('G_Temperature_wn8_pool')}} </p>

Hey guys,

So I finally have my cheap Lenovo tab 3 on the wall with power source. I’m using FKB for displaying my habpanel.
Now, what do I need to do, in order to just “dim” the screen as someone mentioned, but go back to habpanel as soon as someone pressed or motion is detected.

Currently I also experience the everytime motion is detected the webpage is being refreshed. Even though my connection is good it still takes a few secs to reload which I don’t like. I don’t want to wait for being able to turn on lights etc.
Any good conf solutions to that?

Habpanelviewer is the best answer I believe.

Hi,
it seems the settings in FKB have what you ask for:

The screensaver would dim your Tablet to e.g. 10% with „dim:10“ after X minutes of inactivity. You can choose whether to reload the page after screensaver stops etc.

cheers,
Stefan

Hi @zacofunny,

I was looking into this and it looks promising. But is it available at Play Store yet?

You can install it either manually by downloading the app https://github.com/vbier/habpanelviewer/releases (app-debug.apk)
or wait few days for the updated app in playstore as it is going to be updated soon.

Thanks man… Will wait for the app on play store.
I hope you guys will post in here when available :slight_smile:

Do you have a link for that tablet stand?

if you want the screen totally off its “dim:” (don’t forget the “:”)

There’s one area of the settings that contain a few conditions where it’ll reload, just make sure they’re all off.

if you have cameras another idea would be to make a panel with all your cameras on it and use that as the screensaver URL

good luck

Hi @waspie,

I do have cameras, so that could of course be an idea. But I’m just wonderring, if the screensaver then uses a panel named “Cams” or so, and then as soon as it detects motions or I tab the screen on the tablet, wouldn’t it then need to “refresh” the default pages for the panel? Then I would end up with some refresh-wait-time again?

It’s not been my experience that the panel in the background has been out
of date and i do not use any of FKB’s refresh settings.

Nice! I Will give it a try.
Is it possible to dim the display even though it shows another panel as a screensaver?

i’ll get back to you on that.

Thanks :)!

Hey waspie,

So - did you get the dimming tested when showing another panel in screensaver mode?

there’s one brightness setting for the entire thing, unfortunately. i would also like separate brightness settings. oh well, not that big of a loss in my estimation.

what i do instead is say run the panel, set the screen saver for 60 seconds (or whatever) and then set a 10 minute timeout. after ten minutes the screen turns off. turn on motion detection and vibration detection. when you touch the panel or move near the panel it wakes instantly and goes to the main panel. that seems to be working well in my case.

That’s a nice solution!
I’m not 100% sure what my goal is - whether I want to show the live feed from the cams.

Eventually I would love if my Xiaomi Sensor could trigger a “switch” and when the switch goes “ON”, then the Tablet would wake up and show the cam panel.
