The Pixel Tablet is a great smart home dashboard, but it took some work to figure it out.

UPDATE! I also tried out Google's new script editor for automations. Watch that video: https://youtu.be/CaDGz8S7dvY
can i do that on a samsung tablet like samsung a9+ ?
Soz does the nest doorbell finally works eith the pixel tablet docked?
I just need to figure out how to configure Home Assistant…
Nice video. What video doorbell camera do you use? Can you share please? Thanks!
Sorry I may have missed, but for a static non-interactive dashboard use-case, can any tablet with the Kiosk browser be used? Any reason to specifically use the Pixel tablet?
A great add on for ioT 👍
So I am JUST beginning to look into making a dashboard. I have a Samsung Tab 9 Plus coming in the mail. Primary use would be to have a dashboard to display our new Ring cams when motion is detected, but also would like to display family calendar and local weather. So would I sign up for Home Assistant and create an account there, customize a dashboard on their site, and once I get Fully Kiosk installed on the new tablet, it'll show everything I have set up on the HA website? Or do I need to wait to set it up on the tablet? I'd like to have everything ready when the tablet arrives. Thanks for the video, from a complete noobie to this topic!
Is it possible to enter dock mode without having the dock? Like when charging with the cable, for example?
Couldnt you do the same with an iPad in guided access mode?
Hahaha…someone is watching you…bad idea to have the motion detection….FAIL…especially if you walk naked in your house
1.) can you integrate YouTubeTV into this? How does it flip back and forth from both apps?
2.) can you so you same set up on an ipad?
Can you do a calendar with profiles like the "Hearth Digital Calendar"?
But do you have a "set the mood" button which dims the lights and plays Barry white? 😏
can i get this to work on my Galaxy Tab S7 too?
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.
if i use fully kiosk app or wall panel? Can I background use google home in the background without letting users exit the kiosk app?
2 Flies with one shot, Google Pixel Tablet and Fully Kiosk in one video, just warn us this is an Ad and of no value to people who are not in the market!
I love your videos and they have been very helpful in learning HA. This video was a great way to get an Android dashboard going on a tablet. My only issue, and it's a big one, is that the Fully Kiosk… app, in auto wake mode, seems to kill the fully charged battery on my new Samsung S9 tablet in about 8 hours. Any ideas or fixes?
Where is the link to the Home assistant dashboard or any video link to you setting it up!? Am I blind or the only one so tired of people claiming its linked then they never do it OR REMVOE IT LATER.. For no damn reason.. But to be unbearably annoying .. Or to charge for it… Or other BS
Anyone?
Now I subscribe on your channel. 🙂

Google listening to everything you’re doing? Check 😂
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
