I am asking because although every tablet would “in theory” work. I first tried with the Amazon Fire, and that was a mess. I also tried with the latest Samsung 14.5” flagship tablet, and although it works. It has some features that the Fully Kiosk app cannot bypass, and it makes for a somewhat bad experience. Also, I am not hanging a $1,200 tablet on the wall so that everyone can play with it. Any suggestion that Fully Kiosk fully supports? ---

Why do you need Fully Kiosk? Homey has its own kiosk mode. ---

Auto start app on reboot, motion trigger the screen, lock the tablet down etc. ---

You apparently know something I dont. It has been that way from the start? Homey having a kiosk mode? How do you enable it? ---

I run mine on an old iPad Air gen.2, which is slow. But have read a lot of users recommending: - Galaxy Tab A8 / A9 / A9+ - Lenovo M10 / M11 ---

> [@djvagnetti](#): > > Homey having a kiosk mode? I just checked it and I would say that it’s very insecure. It is very easy to escape it, without the password that it usually needs (long click a device → click Flows → New Flow and you can do pretty much anything you want without the password). So I wouldn’t recommend it if security is the top priority. ---

Dashboards was introduced in version 9.0.0 of the mobile app. Soon after, Athom added the kiosk mode in version 9.0.4. We are currently at version 9.6.7, so it has been available for quite some time 😀. ![IMG_2348](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/b/5bffb0f421d204d83e81ad1134e1ba0f8aa33dea.jpeg)
