I reboot my tablet every night.
I have done the same thing setting it to 0. It's a quick solution for keeping the screen in full screen mode but comes with other disadvantages, calendar and weather things are not updated any-more. Would be nice for the next update, if full mode is switched that it stays in full mode after refresh...
Unfortunately that's not possible for a normal browser window.

Fully Kiosk will stay full screen.

The new weather module (3.8.2 beta) will update by the way. Also calendar info is refreshed automatically, unless the refresh parameter is 0 or false.

Is this also applicable for Buienradar ?
It looks this only refresh after a reload

Now I'm confused, are we talking about the same thing here? I'm aiming at an dashticz without the normal browser tabs and address bar etc, the view you get when you hit the button top right corner near the settings.
But once the dashticz page refreshes the screen goes back to normal browser size.
We can avoid that with setting refresh to 0, so far I have replaced the OWM by weather widgets what was mentioned by HansieNL this does work in my browser and is refreshing. For the rest I have to refresh the dashticz manually, ill have a look tomorrow if the calendar is updated over night.

Yes, we are talking about the same.

Chrome and Safari normally don't start full screen. Dashticz refresh is a kind of reload. It's not possible to reload a URL full screen without user interaction (security limitation of Chrome/Safari)

As an alternative:
On Android install for instance Fully Kiosk Browser.
Or add the URL to the start screen. (this works on Android and iOS). Then the App will start full screen, and will stay full screen, also after refresh.

The screen comes on when it detects motion with the build in front camera, or when my front door opens using the http command. It's all working really nice.
Can you tell me a bit more about this feature? I've tried to Google it but I cannot find it.
I am using Dashticz on a Samsung Tab with the Fully Kiosk browser. I would like the screen to turn on when my front door camera detects motion (this is already a Domoticz device). So this means when a Device is 'On', the screen of the tablet should turn on.

I use the following DZvents script:

Code: Select all

return {
	on = {
		devices = {
			'Voordeur'
		}
	},
	execute = function(domoticz, switch)
	    if (switch.state == 'Open') then
		   domoticz.openURL('http://192.168.1.AAAAAAA:2323/?cmd=screenOn&password=BBBBBBBB')
		end
	end
}
Replace 'Voordeur' with the Domoticz device name of your front door sensor
Replace AAAAAA with your Samsung tabs IP address (use a fixed IP or use DHCP reservation)
Replace BBBBBB with your FullyRemoteKiosk password

Try using the URL (http://192.168.1.AAAAAAA:2323/?cmd=scre ... d=BBBBBBBB) in a browser in your network first, to test it.
