Hey I’m a student that has just recently started diving into home assistant. I recently used an old tablet as a way to control lights and view streams from a doorbell press. Fully kiosk would be one of the final pieces in the puzzle to get the tablet working seamlessly.

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Nice one!

[@joes_drone]

I'm new to Home Automations and am really getting my teeth into it. My 11 year old son had an old Harrier Tab which he no longer uses so I'm going to set this up as a wall panel in the kitchen so my wife can control the lights and also view CCTV from the cameras around the outside of our home.

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Nice project, good to reuse some tech

[@joes_drone]

Definitely... I do like to re-purpose tech if it's still got life left in it

There's this esoteric card game that my extended family plays at get-togethers. There's a game called Trickster Cards which is the only game that allows the rules to be tweaked in order to closely approximate our ruleset. This game is native to windows, and also can be played in a browser. The app is not available for any other OS. I plan to use Fully Kiosk in order to render the tablets I'm going to buy and distribute to the family into a single-use device. Until this video, I thought this would be impossible. The licenses aren't even that expensive and aren't subscription based. I'm pretty excited right now.

Thanks Viper!

I'm moving into a new home and planning to setup fully kiosk on a fire tablet I picked up back on Prime Day, would love to get a license for a full version!

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Congrats on your new home!

[@InrDmons2011]

Video for Kindle Static IP would def help. I am in advanced mode and unsure about the specifics. I have Starlink as well as a TP-Link router

[@soubhikkhan6239]

Great tutorial! I just got a fire 8 and wanted to start with the fully kiosk browser! Having some trouble with setting up the password!

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Are you adding special characters in the password? Thanks for checking out the video!

[@onnodekker6799]

Hey Gio, thanks for another great video! We just bought a new house, which I'm planning to make a real smart home with my Home Assistant server and your video's. I'm definitely going to install a tablet to control the house. So a Fully Kiosk license would be great.

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Sounds great!

[@ThatChrisGuy]

A really useful video. It showed me just what I wanted. Thanks!

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Glad it was helpful!

[@KLRCAT]

So the Full Kiosk Browser just uses a URL? I am looking to set up a couple Wall mounted tablets in the venue I work at, that will be running bitfocus Companion (which has its own url dashboard and is mainly URL/browser based).

[@SmartHomeMakers]

That is my understanding too

[@KLRCAT]

@@SmartHomeMakers that's pretty neat, I'm gonna get a fire tablet first and do some testing, but my main issue is finding a secure wall mount for the tablet (I can only find mounts for Samsung or Apple), any recommendations?

[@akitoueu]

Very nice fully kiosk browser. Thanks.

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Thanks Miguel!

[@hildalopez1252]

Awesome. Im too green and stuck at the instance page on HA. I have also tried the Start URL on Fully Kiosk and stuck there too🤦‍♀️ I need HELP!!! BTW love your channel, its at least helping me, i just don't fully understand.

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Would you be able to share you start url? (remove IP address) ?

[@keithcroshaw]

Good video. I've had this running on the side of my fridge for over 6 months now. I'm really torn about paying for it though, and it's not even Fully's fault. Lovelace can not maintain connection to my HA camera feeds, even my new UniFi Protect one that only shows one frame per second (my choice to try to fix the issue). After about 15 minutes on any browser, any device, they just loose the feed. I'm switching back to my wife's iPad with the Apple Home app. Only issue there is no motion/sound detection. My goal is to turn an ESP32 into a BT keyboard and unlock the iPad that way when a motion sensor goes of, or a soldered motion detector triggers it, but I've had issues trying to get PIR working on ESPHome (probably a me problem).

[@SmartHomeMakers]

I'm thinking of trying to get my front door pop up when the doorbell rings! I noticed that camera feeds are not great, what about with the unifi protect url?

[@keithcroshaw]

@@SmartHomeMakers I've had a hard time getting lovelace to redirect like that or to host it in an iFrame. Any suggestions? I also just want to see it when I walk by tbh...

[@pedrotomaz5259]

Hy, love your videos. Very good and learn a lot. Nice job.

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Appreciate it Pedro!

[@Um.Senhor]

Great vídeo! 👍 Can i use Fully Kiosk without Home Assistant, just to use the Wakeup call to unlock the Sreen and use the normal original Amazon HD Dashboard? Thanks!

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Yes, absolutely

[@heyitsyang]

Nice video! I'm not familiar with the latest Kindles, so a couple of questions: Is there a specific generation of Kindle tablet or Kindle OS required? Will an ad supported Kindle version work?

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Nello! This kindle is a couple of years old, with the "flashing part" you can also remove ads, I can't remember which one I purchased :)

Do you know where is the storage option to get the fully kiosk setting

[@danuuc99]

Ordered my screen today,....PoE is in the wall for it. Ready to add an interface to my various home automation and security systems.

Hi, does kiosk turn the screen on using motion detection? Thanks..

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Yep it does!

I realize this is an aged video, but I am running into problems where Fully Browser is adding HTTPS://x.x.x.x and I only want it to be HTTP, not HTTPS, but it keeps defaulting. Is there some other toggle I need to turn on/off within fully browser to

[@Max-ph5in]

Any good links or recommendations to decent wall mounts? And a licence would be awesome!

[@nielskuijper2119]

Hey man, thank you for all your great video's. I'm thinking about building a wall mount dashboard for a while now. In just a noob in this, so it takes me some time. The kiosk browser would help me a lot. I'm thinking to use a samsung A7 tablet for it.

Nice which version of the A7?

Thanks. Thanks a lot for this video. I want to use it at home but at this time it won't work. with the options i made it will Not unlock the Screen. Will BE nice to have a plus license, If i im one of the 200

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Hi Christian! If you active plus features you should get a watermark but still usable!

I would love a free license as I got a nice deal on a 10 inch lenovo tablet and I am planning to do the same also made a wooden frame to match the house furniture.

Are you making the wooden frame yourself?

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Hi Jonas! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jonaslewin]

@@SmartHomeMakers I also enjoyed the Debloat and Google Play store part. It scared me a bit to see that the browser opened up ports on the device, and glad that you informed about it so that I know that I need to put the device on the correct VLAN.
