Best tablet

@ispaapen

Just checked my Lenovo + Vogel wall mount combination; no issues here!
Bear in mind; it is not wall mounted yet, I just clipped on the tablet holder on the back.

Unfortunately uploading a picture fails atm.  I will try again later today.

It happened as soon as i clipped the tablet holder on the tablet. However i can't remember it happened the first time i clipped the holder, maybe i was too excited to notice

Let me know how it is when the tablet is attached to the wall.

@Eternity @ispaapen
it is indeed an combination thing with lenovo and the vogel wall mount.
i have the same, solved by sticking some rubber feet/pads i found between the wall and the mounting to release the pressure on the tablet

Can you upload a photo to show how you did it?

@Eternity
seems like you are not the only one that can't upload a picture, seems like an issue for @Annemarie

@ispaapen

it's not the fanciest solution, still looking for another option that is more clean, closer to the wall. something like a normal bumper-like case screwed onto the wall

My situation:


I am trying to upload a better pic....

Eternity

Yes, tried and tried ...still uploading fails. At first I thought I was doing something wrong, so I scaled the photo's down. Still no luck.


I guess I shouldn't question myself ;-)

@Eternity
it is the size of the image, made it smaller and it uploads a-ok
time for an image re-sizer build in to the uploader

@caseda good solution, i will try that too. That also solves the "problem" of rotation when pushing the button at the side.

@Eternity nice, i think it's the best wallmount available at the moment. I will purchase another one and add spacers like caseda did.

I was just looking on the Doorbird site (for the DoorBird itself).... and stumbled across this DoorBird Tablet Wall-mount mini 4.. Absolutely beautiful... but what a price...

I am using a 27" LLyama touchscreen with an Android Box glued behind it, in my kitchen.

- controlling Sonos, family calender (Google), weather, browser, viewing my security cam's around the house, all android app's like games (angry bird with touch) and ... Homey Dash until the real Homey Dasboard app's comes out. Works great, the family loves the touch and screensize.

@Justjomi
Sounds great! What Android box do you use (drivers needed for the Llyama?)

Ugoos UT3S. It worked all out of the box including touch

Just ordered a new Vogels wallmount at mediamarkt, it is 13 euro cheaper compared to coolblue where i bought it last week. Hopefully the trick with the spacers will work.

Kindle Fire is only £34.99 today on Amazon UK! Great price for a device to run Homey Dash!

does anyone know if this works properly?

If you have a lot of info on your  screen i doubt if 7" with 1024x600 resolution is big enough

I'm thinking about buying a Android tablet to use with Homeydash. I don't need overkill, but I want the dash to run smootly. So I'm curious, what are the minimal (or optimal) specs for a tablet to use with HomeyDash?
- Android version
- CPU/RAM?
- Resolution
- Screen diagonal in Inch
- Browser

ispaapen

I, and some others, use a Lenovo tablet for HomeyDash ( lenovo tab2 a10-70f )
Price for the white version starts at 189 euro

See for details my posts at page 1

Ok, I take the specs of this tablet as starting point!
- Android: 5.0
- 10,1" diagonal
- 1920x1200 resolution
- 4 cores (MediaTek), 1,5Ghz, 2GB DDR3 RAM

Edit, with these specs, I only find Lenovo's for under the €200,-. I guess the Lenovo TAB 3 is also a nice choice: https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/compare/733331;458705/
Edit 2, I read that the Lenovo TAB 2 doesn't get an update to Android 6.

ispaapen

Is it important what Android version it runs when you only use HomeyDash?

I am using a old samsung Tab 2 GT-P5110 android version 4.2.2 and it works ok

Just to be more future prove. What if Homeydash needs a more modern browser in the future, but the Android version doesn't support te latest Chrome... I don't want to spend €200,- every 2 years for a new tablet.

I bought 3 of the 7" Amazon Fire tablets when they were on sale at £39.99. They needed rooting and an AOSP ROM to get the best out of them as the stock browser sucks. I'm using then with Fully Kiosk and very happy (particularly the price!)

Going to run some tests in the future with amazon fire tablets as well. That price is allmost unbeatable....
