      Cheers for the Video clip! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you thought about - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (do a search on google)? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for building better sheds and woodworking minus the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my best friend Jordan after many years got great success with it.

    On a 15 minute automation check if the tablet >80-90% full and switch off the charger.
    Then (/15min) if the tablet is

    Having a smart home dashboard is really cool. I love having that "birds eye" view of everything at a glance... especially late at night or early in the morning when I may not want to use smart speakers to control things. My kid has also used it. I have found my daughter using the wall-mounted iPad to make FaceTime calls to grandma in the past lol.

I'd like to use facial recognition to login however does anybody know of a way to get it to recognise my face when the tablet is landscape? i.e. the camera sees my face as 90 degree rotated? I'm using a Samsung Tab S2 at the moment. Is that even possible?

    I’m going to look at the price of a large touch screen and the price of V. R. Goggles along with how much each fame costs, to compare prices, but I think I need a script from an eye dr?

It works fine but every three days or so I find the screen off and when I turn it back on it's popped up again asking if I want to always use Wallpanel for the home app or just open it once. I hit always, and then a few days later it does it again.
