Fully Kiosk Browser integrates with Home Assistant to turn Android tablets into smart home control panels. The integration provides screen control (brightness, on/off), device sensors (battery, charging status), camera access, and motion detection — turning a wall-mounted tablet into both a controller and a sensor.
Fully Kiosk is the standard solution for Home Assistant wall dashboards. It keeps the browser locked to your Home Assistant dashboard URL, prevents accidental app switching, provides screen wake on motion, and reports device health back to Home Assistant.
HA DocumentationHow Fully Kiosk Browser Works with Home Assistant
Getting Fully Kiosk Browser connected to Home Assistant and running reliably.
Connect & configure
Add Fully Kiosk Browser through the Home Assistant integrations panel. Cameras, sensors, and alarm panels appear as entities you can control and automate.
Live feeds & alerts
View camera streams directly in your dashboard. Set up notifications for motion events, door openings, or alarm triggers.
Cross-device automation
Build automations that coordinate Fully Kiosk Browser with lights, locks, and speakers. Motion at the front door can trigger a light, a camera recording, and a notification — simultaneously.
Common Fully Kiosk Browser Issues
The problems installers run into with Fully Kiosk Browser and Home Assistant — and how a managed setup prevents them.
Screen burn-in on OLED panels
Tablets displaying a static Home Assistant dashboard 24/7 are susceptible to screen burn-in, especially OLED panels. Without proper screen management (dimming, screensavers), burn-in can appear within months.
Battery swelling from constant charging
Tablets plugged in 24/7 for wall-mount use can develop battery swelling over time. This is a fire hazard and a known issue with repurposed consumer tablets.
Motion detection sensitivity
Fully Kiosk's camera-based motion detection can be overly sensitive, waking the screen for shadows, pets, or lighting changes, which wastes energy and can be annoying.
Why installers choose managed Fully Kiosk setups
- Screen management with automated dimming schedules and screensavers to prevent burn-in
- Battery health monitoring with alerts for swelling detection
- Motion sensitivity tuning for reliable screen wake without false triggers
- Automatic app and firmware update management across all wall panels
