Using A Wall Mounted Tablet As A Smartthings Hub

Brianjhagopian i did a very similar thing using an older 10 1in lenovo thinkpad tablet running windows 10 as well.

Using a wall mounted tablet as a smartthings hub.

I hear you have to take all the crap off the fire tablets to use them properly. We re loving this thing so i highly recommend doing it if you re on the fence. It s also great for displaying recipes via the plan to eat app we use for meal planning. The multi tasking on windows is superior and when using security camera nvr dvr is a great example of it.

To use the kindle as a kiosk i had to solve a few things. The three that i m looking at are. The biggest issue for me was to figure out a way to mount the tablet securely. Okay so i m still learning so go easy on me.

I have a 10 inch lg tab e and it came with a flap cover type case. The tablet is firmly mounted using two key hole hangers1 attached to the back of the frame which rest on screws inserted into dry wall anchors. Interface the interface consists of a dashing12 installation running on a free heroku16 instance. I m looking to wall mount a tablet have not purchased yet and have direct to router connection charging and have all wires concealed.

And you can t just ad the adt security hub as one of the devices on your network. I cut off the flap and screwed the case to the wall. Hello i am planning to use 3 4 approx 10 tablets wall mounted in my house for integration with smartthings and other smart home apps such as ecobee thermostat ring doorbell august doorlock harmony hub surveillance etc i would like to determine which tablet would be best for the above. The one in the picture above is in a 3d printed mount but these are pricey 30 and can be mounted on the wall with plenty of permanent and temporary mounting options.

I was wondering which was the best for the least money and most usable. If you have a hub like smartthings wigwag relay or logitech harmony home hub then setting up your universal remote will be easily since you only need one app. Does poe mean that the device is receiving only low voltage power through the ethernet cable or is it receiving internet from the router as well. Is there such thing as a tablet with ethernet connection.

I was thinking of getting a tablet to mount on the wall for control of smartthings. Just finished my wall mounted tablet project and wanted to share it with you for inspiration. It would be great if this kiosk mode could be customized. This way we could simply mount the apple or android tablet on a wall or leave it as a portable device.

Amazon fire hd 10 1 galaxy tab a 10 1 and ipad pro 10 5. I tried the adt security hub and it didn t work for me. I used these dockem mounting brackets which worked fine instead of building a custom frame. I had to countersink the holes and use flush trim head screws so the tablet would fit back in the case.

It is also very limited on use.
