| Lenovo Tab M9 wall tablet | Works | Used as dashboard with Fully Kiosk, presence-based screen wake; battery protect modeSaved copyLenovo Tab M9. Got two of them for £80 each during an Amazon sale, the 64gb versions. They work great, built in battery protect mode that keeps the battery at 50% ish. Have them running paid versions of Fully Kiosk Browser using the camera and audio to detect presence and turn the screen on from a dimmed screensaver clock. Attached with magnets to the wall.

| Fully Kiosk on Fire tablets / Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE | Partly works Local | Connection stops responding; tablet freezes until reloadSaved copyNot really anything we can do from the Home Assistant side for this, as the tablet is not responding. I've seen this happen a lot on slower Android tablets (like the Amazon Kindle's) or if the tablet has been running for a long time. Try force-quitting and re-launching the Fully Kiosk app on the tablet, or power-cycling the tablet. Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #136165 · 2025-01 | |
