I’m displaying a local Aqara G410 camera feed on a SharpTools dashboard using go2RTC running on a Mac. The dashboard is shown on an Android wall tablet through Fully Kiosk.
The feed works, but periodically the SharpTools media tile changes to “web page not available”, blank, or loading.
What I’ve established so far:
- go2RTC itself can still be running when the SharpTools tile fails.
- A manual dashboard/browser refresh usually restores the feed, although sometimes it takes more than one attempt.
- SharpTools Media Auto Refresh is ON every 5 minutes.
- Force Refresh is ON.
- I also have a Homey flow that reloads the whole dashboard periodically.
- A 5-minute full-dashboard reload was too frequent and could overlap while the previous reload was still settling.
- 30 minutes worked as a fallback but recovery could take too long.
- I’m now testing 20 minutes, which seems slightly better.
- Since using the media auto-refresh plus periodic dashboard reload, the feed has always recovered eventually.
So at the moment the system is usable, but only because of these refresh workarounds.
Has anyone found a more reliable way to keep a local camera stream alive in SharpTools without needing periodic full-dashboard reloads?
In particular, I’d be interested to know:
- Is there a preferred SharpTools Media configuration for local go2RTC streams?
- Could this be related to Android WebView or Fully Kiosk handling of long-lived local connections?
- Is there a way to refresh only the camera/media tile when it fails?
- Has anyone run go2RTC successfully in SharpTools for long periods on a wall-mounted tablet?
- Are there Fully Kiosk or Android WebView settings that improve this?
Many thanks
Gareth
