Pixel Tablet: howl.me/cjZ0hLVy62I UPDATE! I also tried out Google's new script editor for automations. Watch that video: ruclips.net/video/CaDGz8S7dvY/видео.html
Thanks for the video, i was verry exciting to see your solution for my pixel tablet, but sadly i get only a black screen when i select the fully kiosk app a the dockscreen screensaver.could you share your config?
new problem, volume button stops to work when i switch from kiosk user to normal user on google pixel tablet. When I disable "full kiosk lock screen" volume buttons work again. strange.
Reed, I think you forgot to mention an important aspect about FKB: it can integrate with HA exposing sensors and switches. I have a smart charging automation that turns on smart plug when the Fire tablets are at 10% battery and off at 90%. I also don't use the camera to turn on the screen as the camera cannot see in the dark. Instead, an automation uses a nearby motion detector to turn the screen on as I enter a room and turns screen off when the room is empty or I leave the house.
Hi! I was using FKB with motion detection from the fire tablet's camera but noticed a significant battery drain - can you elaborate how you used a motion detector to turn on the screen? Thanks in advance!
@@totallyfromearth-y8x In use Node-RED for my automations but the concept still works in HA's automations. Whenever the state of the motion detector changes from off to on, the automation turns on the light entity for screen which is provided by FKB. It then waits until off has been the state for ten minutes and then turns off the screen. (Repeated motion based keeps the ten-minute timer active.) In NR: events:state node, Motion Detector entity, is off, for 10 minutes, msg.payload = entity state. Connect both outputs to a Call Service node with the domain as light, service set to turn_{{payload}} and the Fire Screen entity.
lame, no wonder he didn't mention it. charging automation "feature" is stupid and not worth mentioning, look to wake idea sounds way better than using sensors. that's what everyone thinks of your comment
My favorite part about the Pixel Tablet has been telling the kids they can go use the tablet, and they can't find it even though it's sitting right there in front of them. And i guess it is time to download Home Assistant...
And then what? It doesn't stop working like the software things Google kills. Google has to update it for the promised cycle anyway, so the only thing they can kill is a successor, which has no impact on this device
Did you watch the video? He's using an app that Google didn't create to access a dashboard that Google didn't create. Even if Google kills the app store, they can't stop what he is doing.
I've been using Fully Kiosk Browser and ActionTiles on my Fire Tablets for years. They are not near as fast, but Fully works the same way as you showed in the video and I can put 5x 10" Fire tablets designated as smart home dashboards around the house for the same price as the Pixel tablet. But this is a great high end tablet if you want multifunction.
@@Koi-Koi-Koiyou can buy various tablet wall mounts. As for charging you need to install a socket there or a hidden one if possible and just use the cable. People mention they usually automate charging range from i.e. 70/89% to 98% or some less
This is exactly what I wanted to see! Thanks for showing that the Google Assistant still works with the dashboard displayed. Is there a way for Hub mode to still display your Google Photo gallery until you walk up to it to launch the HA dashboard - maybe swipe away the photos and instead of going to the Hub home it launches the HA dashboard?
just got this today. I'm stunned at how good it works so far. Just as fast as an IPAD with alot more customizations. The video screen quality is very good too.
One of the better reviews I've seen. One thing I'd mention though is that I've heard that it has the same speaker hardware in the stand as the Google Hub Max. Might want to confirm that as it take away one of your negative points.
Do you have a guide on your setup? I have the motion/over-lock-screen/etc setup, but I've noticed if I don't reopen the kiosk app prior to tablet going to sleep, it goes back to regular tablet mode.
where is the link you promised at 03:35 down here❓❔❓ Was expecting to see more on this, like 1. 2. 3. , how to setup this Dashboard. Just found what to use for Datapoints, not for the Dashboard on your website😢
I purchased the Pixel tablet because a tablet is the only device I didn't already own and I wanted one but didn't want to go off the reservation to buy one. I didnt know the debate about tablets was so fierce until I started researching them. The Pixel tablet for me is the perfect compromise as far as versatility and price is concerned because its just a toy for me to play with and nothing more.
I just don't get why the separate dock isn't like a pro dock, being sold at more than 100 bucks, it could compete with a amazon echo dot 5. It could be a standalone speaker, have temp, humidity, presence and matter hub. This would just make it perfect.
@@SmartHomeSolvergood one! By the way, what video camera feed was on your dash? Nest camera ? Or other- please specify. Would any IP camera be able to be shown on the dash or only specific ones/types? Thanks for a great video!
By only charging to 90% you are effectively reducing the charge rate capacity over time. Most chemical batteries enjoy a hysteretic memory which effectivly predisposes a decay rate that is fixed. By reducing charge effectiveness you are accelerating the decay process.
Same problem here, did even a full factory reset, i got a black screen but no home assistant screen when pixel tablet sceens locks.could you share your config please?
Disappointed to hear the dock speaker isn't as good as the Nest Hub Max, as I've been very happy with that speaker, which has plenty of power and lots of bass.
I bought the Pixel tablet for several reasons. I have noticed that if the tablet does not broadcast voice notifications from Home Assistant. For example, when the ring camera detects motion. It sends a broadcast to all the speakers alerting us. It is not coming across the tablet. Have you noticed this? Would you know of a fix? It would be cool if the base still worked as a speaker when the tablet is not docked.
Hey Reed, I've been searching for your tutorial on how you created and setup the Fully Kiosk Browser Dashboard. Can you please send me your link for that so I can setup my Pixel with my smart home devices? Thanks in advance
So I recently just purchased the pixel tablet for our house. I would love to set it up similar to what you have done but am not as tech savvy. How do I go through setting it up (home assistant to Google home etc ) and then getting it to be home hub mode screen? Any links to videos that do a step by step would be greatly appreciated
I am really leaning towards Amazon echo shows because they have native multi cam views that can be programmed by triggers. Is it possible to build a dashboard like that which shows multiple cameras at once? Then, can you trigger different dashboards with different triggers? Example the look trigger showing the main dashboard, but the camera dashboard if an alarm was ringing or certain sensor went off? I am guessing it would get tricky because the look trigger might take precedence
I really love the concept of the Google Pixel Tab but I wish that Apple would do the same, while improving on it, as I also wish it have : 1. 120Hz Always-on (1Hz) tandem-stack OLED display (always-on is very important) 2. Airfuel (Witricity) (and maybe also Qi2) wireless charging to be able to recharge by « sticking » the device to a dock (speaker, but also VESA dock,…). Airfuel wireless charging allow for more positioning freedom and higher distance (a few inches) wireless charging. 3. Multi 10Gbits/s and low latency 60Ghz WiGig (802.11ay) wireless docking functionality to wirelessly access to external I/O (USB-C, USB-A, Ethernet, HDMI,…) 4. Several types of sensors integrated (temperature, presence detection,…) 5. It would be cool if the base still worked as a wireless smart speaker with assistant and cast functionalities, when the tablet is not docked. The base should also have a small screen (but as big as possible like 4 to 6 inches) to indicate date, time, weather and music playing to still be usable on its own as a bedside smart alarm clock,… and be easily readable from afar… This would open plenty more use cases….
Went out and got this setup because of this video! Thank you! Trying to figure out how to expose the microphone in HA through kiosk browser so I can use the HA voice assist…… Any Ideas??
I decided to give this a try. I like it, but I can’t figure out why some of my colors are totally different. Like yellow shows up as almost black. It’s only like this in the Fully browser.
$120 dock that has much worse speakers than the cheaper stand-alone smart speakers but doesn't even work on it's own like a @20 mini can is a stunning miss. I'll wait to see what v2 brings (though they will cancel it by v3).
Great Video and very nice Dashboard I like it !! Quick question since you are using a third party app from the play store does this mean any android tablet can do this? I'm trying to see what google pixel necessity is with this setup.. of course a cheap android tablet will have worse performance but this is beside the main question now... Thx keep these videos coming , cheers !
I'm a firm advocate for Amazon fire tabs. I'm currently using my son's old tab 7 kids edition as my main hun. Works perfect for that and you can find them for like $10 or cheaper used.
i wanted to like Amazon products. But they are just too ugly to me. The ring doorbell, the dashcam, seem to be designed by someone who know nothing about design.
Thank you so much for this idea, and your tutorials on Home Assistant. I am looking to jump into the Home Assistant environment in 2025, so this could work out perfectly.
thinking about home assistant and this setup looks truly awesome. However, my big thing is trying to stay away from subscriptions, but it seems if I want to use home assistant with my google speakers, then I will have to pay the home assistant 7 bucks a month subscription (hard me to justify that) to link the two services. Is this how you have your system set up so that home assistant works with your nest speakers/google assistant?
Can you tell me why if I put the HA lovelace on my Google nest the menu that shows me the other tabs doesn't appear? Everything else works fine: buttons, etc.
GrapheneOS is also available for it pretty soon - which is another awesome usecase! I REALLY like this thing and once I can, I intend to buy it. As a second _SpaceDesk screen, HASS dashboard or just a beautiful notification center for all the stuff that comes in. It seriously is a great piece of kit. And, if your usecases change, it's a Pixel device - ready to reboot, root and do things with!
Don't use GrapheneOS, the developer is a narcissistic, cr@zy, mentally ill person. You don't want to use this kind of person's code on your device. It is not safe. Use LineageOS or something else, but not GrapheneOS.
I have an automation challenge for you, which I'll call 'Field Trip Pickup.' Scenario: A child is on a field trip, and I need to meet them at their school when they return. I'm looking for a solution that can track the travel time from the field trip location to the school and my travel time from home to the school. Then, when the bus is approximately my travel time plus 5 minutes away from arriving at the school, I would like to receive a push notification or have a smart assistant announce that it's time for me to go pick up the child.
Home Assistant is usually run on a Raspberry Pi or virtualised in a container (Docker/LXC) on your pc. Regardless of setup, it exposes a web user interface in your local network, which tablets and any other browser can access.
@SmartHomeSolver can you give us your Fully kiosk json settings ? I'm in the same use case as you but I have trouble to configure settings of it correctly. Thx
It is, but it requires you to do a bit of research and run your own server (like a raspberry pi) if you haven't already dipped your toes into home assistant.
Is there a way we can get the dashboard, so we can load it onto our own tablets? Without configuration/creation (a file or a folder that can be copied?)

I really gotta get into Home Assistant. Love that dashboard. And upgrade my light switches to smart dimmer ones too. Great video as always!
I’ve had mine set up for a few years and my switches CONSTANTLY disconnect or Alexa can’t find them. Very frustrating
So glad you are keeping the little gags at the end. Love them!

This! The way Google teased it last year is that it's going to be better than the hub max. It turns out to be a regular ol' android tablet.

So do you recommend this vs. the max nest or echo?
...and for iOs?
