Análisis de la app KioskHQ: Kiosk Browser para 9 de noviembre

KioskHQ turns any Android tablet or phone into a locked-down, fullscreen web kiosk — perfect for Home Assistant wall panels, digital signage, point-of-sale, info displays, and dedicated single-purpose devices. The full kiosk browser, lockdown and screensaver are FREE. A single one-time unlock — no subscription — adds the automation and integration layer (REST API, MQTT, Home Assistant, the JavaScript interface, motion detection, dashboard rotation, remote admin and tablet care). KIOSK LOCKDOWN • Fullscreen immersive WebView with the system bars hidden • Lock-task / screen-pinning, with full device-owner lockdown when provisioned • Status-bar swallow, hardware-key blocking, and a watchdog that restarts the app • PIN-protected exit via a configurable corner multi-tap • Optional launcher (HOME) replacement so the kiosk owns the device WEB BROWSER BUILT FOR KIOSKS • Start URL, URL allow/block lists, custom user agent, zoom and desktop mode • Auto-reload on a timer, on screen-on, and on network reconnect • Multi-tab support and multi-dashboard rotation • File uploads, camera/mic access, and fullscreen HTML5 video AUTOMATION & REMOTE CONTROL (one-time Pro unlock) • Built-in REST API on port 2323 — query device info and drive the device remotely • MQTT: publishes device state and events, with Home Assistant MQTT auto-discovery • A JavaScript interface so your web app can control the device directly • Wire-compatible command, event, and JSON formats — existing Home Assistant and other integrations work unmodified SENSORS & MEDIA • Camera motion detection wakes the screen and resets the idle timer • Face/presence detection, QR/barcode scanning, camera snapshots and screenshots • Text-to-speech, sound playback, and volume control • Screensaver and Daydream with image, video, website, or true-black playlists ALWAYS-ON TABLET CARE • Scheduled screen on/off and brightness control • Battery alerts and best-effort charge limiting to protect long-lived wall tablets • Self-healing restart and network-reconnect handling KioskHQ is a from-scratch native app built for reliability on devices that run 24/7. Set it up once, mount it on the wall, and forget about it.
