Installing a Wall-Mounted Tablet for Home Assistant

I recently installed a new wall-mounted tablet in my home and I'm so glad I did!

It's now much easier to manage my Home Assistant setup, I can adjust lights, covers, and everything directly from the tablet, without having to fumble for my smartphone.

In this article I'm going to describe you what I did / what I bought so that you can follow this guide to reproduce the same setup or even doing better at your home.

Hardware configuration

Lenovo Tab M10 Plus 3rd Gen.
It's a 10,6" tablet equipped with 4GB di RAM LPDDR4x + 128GB ROM and a 7.700 mAh battery.

The integration is quite complete right now and allows you to control several parameters of the Fully Kiosk but not everything. For example, at the moment, it is not possible to enable / disable the acoustic detection as it is done for the motion detection.

Software configuration

In order to use the tablet as a Home Assistant kiosk when it is mounted on the wall, I installed the Fully Kiosk browser on it which, thanks to the Home Assistant integration, also allows a full monitoring and control of the device itself.

It's a super minimalistic solution for mounting your tablet and securely displays it with all mounting hardware hidden behind, while enabling continuous charging and it perfectly fits for this tablet. 

During the purchasing process, you can easily select all the options to make your purchase perfectly tailored to your needs.

The tablet's power supply is ensured via USB cable I've connected to a USB socket. Thanks to the battery optimization feature, the battery is automatically maintained between 40% and 60% so I don't have to worry about checking the charging process and stopping it.

The alternative was to use another Shelly Qubino Wave to control the socket to which the USB cable is connected to.
