I'm looking for advice on setting up kiosks for a smart home.

I'd like to have 2-3 touch screens setup to control devices from.

I've decided on the following:

  • preferably plug in devices/screens (with no battery)
  • e-ink screens would be preferable but not a must
  • cost is a factor

Anyone had success in setting up something similar?

With my particular unit? Its not going to get any updates ever, the only way to install is over ADB, and changing the running app requires script changes and a reboot (or changing things to allow the on-screen navigation buttons, but that comes with other annoyances).

So sdk version isn't changing, which is a potential compatibility issue going forward.
