Hi, does anybody know if it is possible to switch off an android tablet via a flow? In my kitchen I use a tablet to watch tv and it would be nice to switch it off (just the screen would be ok) if we leave the house or go to bed. ---

That should be possible with the [Dashboard Controller app](https://homey.app/en-gb/app/nl.xseth.dashboardctrl/Dashboard-Controller/) in combination with Fully browser on the tablet. ---

Yep, that is possible with fully browser. But if I remember right, a license for fully browser is needed for remote control via the Homey app. I had an old automation app running with integrated webserver, so a http call from Homey could be used to trigger this app. But it’s not longer available. I can’t say if other apps like Automate can be remote controlled via http. So fully browser is the easiest way with a seamless Homey integration. ---

Ah okay. It’s another €11,- for a licence then 😬 ---

For all who are interested: You can use/test the fully browser with the dashboard app as trial with watermark without costs. The license costs 7.90€+VAT. Then all features are available without watermark. [https://license.fully-kiosk.com/license/?cmd=singleForm](https://license.fully-kiosk.com/license/?cmd=singleForm) ---

The app Macrodroid is also working. If you send a webhook to the tablet the screen can be turned off. So if you can send the webhook with Homey it should be no problem. Just tested is with my S7+and Android phone. Start the macro wizard, Connectivity, Webhook (url), enter a name at Identifier, copy the url, OK. Go to Actions, Screen, Screen on/off, screen off, ok, ok Save the macro. If you now paste the url at a browser and press enter the screen turns of. Don’t know if this also works with the free version of Macrodroid. ---

Thanks all for the help. Bought Macrodroid and I call the url-trigger from a logic-card. Works like a charm!
