I will hang 2 tablets on the wall in my house (I have to buy them yet, so I can still choose bewteen android or ipad)
I use the dashticz dashboard. What I want is that when a z wave pir sensor sees me, the tablet wakes from stand by, and shows the dashticz dashboard.
So that when I am in the room, the tbalet is on.
Anybody got an idea how to do that?

My plan (didn't work because Tasker had an issue with notification titles in older Android version of tablet):
Install domoticz lite app on tablet
Install Tasker (not free, but I used the same Google account as on my phone, and there I paid)
Send specific notification with lua/blockly/dzVents as soon as the pir is activated.
Create Tasker task to act upon this notification only.
Other option is to buy full kiosk browser, which can be switched on with a json command. This is shown in another topic about turning tablet screen on remotely.

I use this tablet,
https://banggood.app.link/xdve65ATSK
Android full kiosk browser, includes front camera to wake up the screen.
No expressive z wave pir, no difficult tasker jobs
Dashticz works great, not 100% smooth but that is dashticz problem, sliders little laggy

Just control your tablet's power.
By default (on Android) when you connect charger to your tablet the screen must turn on.
Simple condition:
when MOTION IS DETECTED then
TURN OFF CHARGER
TURN ON CHARGER
end
This power switching will turn the screen on.
