I then measured up the Koala tabs, drilled through into the wall, put in the drywall anchors, and mounted everything. I measured it up to just cover the extra holes I had to the left so thats why the wire/center screws are offset. Used some 6" diagonal cutters to cut off everything raised on the back so it would sit flush against the wall: I opted for the screw in since I figured it would help hold the access panel to the wall: They make a double sided tap version for $20 and a screw in version for $15. To that end I bought a cheap ($12) Watts 8" x 8" access panel to cover the wall and some Koala tablet holders that suggested. I hate patching drywall so I was determined to cover all the holes at once and give the tablet a good base. Plus I had a old sensor to the left with some holes. To start when I pulled the old keypad off it was kinda a mess: Today I got my Fire HD8 tablet mounted and powered. I’ll post a final picture once I get the tablet mounted decently. I have some other “views” setup for everything else but don’t plan on using them on this tablet. I only put my doors statuses and locks on it along with SHM and a couple routines that made sense to click when going in and out.

Firefox auto loaded in full screen view with my ActionTile “Tablet View” panel displayed: This way it will also look just like the EcoBee with its black face and white mount which is right around the corner from the tablet.Īnd here is the tablet and what it boots right into (after you swipe the lock screen). The only other thing is the old panel was slightly taller then the tablet when on it’s side so I’ll either have to fix the wall or what I’m going to try to do is find a small white plastic/abs panel thats slightly bigger then the tablet and put that behind it as a mount. I’ll just hack open a micro USB adapter, cut out the data wires (usually white and green) and use the power (red and black) to get the tablet powered from the panel in the basement. My existing wire from the alarm panel to the old keypad was 22ga which is kinda small but that gauge is rated for up to 3 amps so even for the distance (around 30’) it will be more then fine for powering the tablet ( ). Also added a “auto launcher” to launch Firefox when the tablet starts up ( ) and a FireFox add-on that makes it run in full screen ( ).

Found some stuff online to remove the ads that come on it ( ) and install Google Play ( ) which was pretty nice. I also purchased the subscription to ActionTiles ( ActionTiles (formerly called "SmartTiles V6")). For those following this thread I just wanted to say I’ve ended up with a Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet when they went on sale for $55 ( Amazon Fire Tabs on sale for Prime Members 7" $35 8" $55).
