It has 136 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated October 19, 2026. Dashie is an integration that connects Dashie tablets and kiosk displays to Home Assistant over the local network. Devices on the network are found automatically through zeroconf, and Home Assistant offers to add them, with manual entry by host, port and optional password also available. Each tablet appears as a device with switches for screen, screensaver, kiosk lock and dark mode, number controls for brightness and volume, and buttons to reload the dashboard, refresh the web view or bring the app to the foreground. Sensors report battery level, brightness and memory use, and binary sensors show whether the tablet is plugged in or the screensaver is active. The tablet's own camera and a screenshot of its display can be exposed as camera and image entities, and RTSP feeds such as Frigate cameras can be sent to the tablets. An option sets which media folder supplies screensaver photos. Automatic summary of the README and code of jwlerch78/dashie-ha-integration.
