    Just getting into home automation with home assistant, and this has given me a lot of hope and excitement around the possibilities. Thanks for the quality content!

    OMG! I have been looking for the whole ID->Choose thing for ever. Never knew how to do it! Thank you Lewis! Oh and of course: Awesome video, as always!

    Thanks!! Really awsome info. I already had 2 tablets setup with Fully Kiosk Browser and is working great. However I did not know there was also a HA integration. I learned from your video I can basically use this to assign a button to open a different webpage. I now made a button to open google shopping list and a button to open my recipebook in the tablet in the kitchen. Game changer! :) 2 extra tips here: 1) You when you enable webinterface in settings, you can go from your pc to the settings and much easier change them and also backup/restore them 2) There are settings build in, so you can use the camera as motion detector to turn on screen for x seconds. Works great! I put some semi-transparant tape over the camera, so it will only see blur for extra security.

    I saw another channel using a pixel tablet to create some nice dashboards recently. Fully Kiosk Browser has been around for years and looks fantastic. I am not totally sold on wall panels myself. I prefer a dashboard to be near to where I am most likely to use it, which honestly is the coffee table near where I sit in the lounge, or the kitchen bench. I admit, wall panels use to be my aim, but I found, from personal experience, that in my use case, walking to a wall panel was, in the end, no different to walking to an old fashioned switch or thermostat.

    Awesome and very usefull info! I am currently using a couple of Fire Tablets with Sharptools and will be looking into going this route if it can do everything I am currently doing in Sharptools - since I am already licensed with Fully Kiosk on both of my tablets, this would actually save me money for not having to pay for Sharptools licensing yearly. Thanks for all the work you put into these videos!

    Always entertaining and useful to watch your videos. I have had a tablet in the kitchen working as a dashboard/music thingy for over a year, and I still managed to learn a few things. Namely the 'panel view' and the 'numeric state choose', which I had never used before. Also, I had the tablet plugged in to power for more than 6 months, and so far so good.
