Look for app to keep screen on when in the room.

[Mitri1138]

I have two tablets mounted in my kitchen that display weather. I would like to find an app that would keep the tabs screen on while I'm in the room and turn off when I leave. Back on when I enter. Thank you.

I’m guessing that a first requirement would be that you would need to wear a device of some kind.

One workaround but which is not that automatic is to link their power cables to the same switch as turns on a light in the kitchen then configure the tablets to keep the screen on when charging and to time out when not (*). Or maybe there is a motion sensitive plug you can use with the chargers?

(*) I use the Stay Alive! app which has a setting to allow you do this. Ah! No longer on the app store but there seem to similar apps with names like Screen Alive to look at.

Hello all, I am the original poster, I registered.

Mustang7757 - Junkie no name. I rooted and stripped them of all apps but two, browser & weather. I am open to getting better tabs if need be.

Gomez - That is an interesting idea, put them on a motion sensor plug or switch, I'll have see how I can do this.

Last night I stumbled on a ipad forum where he was needing something similar and was suggested Kiosk apps, Fully Kiosk is one app. I might experiment with just for the fun.

The reason for all this, I'm afraid of "screen burn in" if left on 24/7. I have a few Galaxy S2 that I would like to use but don't want to ruin them.

Thanks all.

Dang it! Sorry for the double post, Mod, you think you can delete one of them please, thank you.

You know this motion switch would be the easiest solution, get one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Westek-MLC12...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU7120776

Any other ideas. Is there a tablet with built it. How about a ROM.
