I am stuck (?) with this problem: I have a RPI running NR. It is the central hub of things happening. Other machine access it via the network. I do most of my work on a NUC with a nice 16x9 monitor that is 1368 x 786 (or something like that) resolution. Things look nice. But I am going to get…

That's ok. I appreciate it is sometimes needed to "think outside the box" for a solution. I should know. (wink)

Plenty of usb 90 connectors to take cable behind fairly neatly

I agree that an old tablet might be a much cheaper solution - I actually also used an old nexus tablet for this - but I admit that I am still having problems with that: Note that I wanted to have a node-RED dashboard running 24x7 hours that I can consult quickly at any time but I never managed this…

There is a usb to ethernet adapter and use to work with all tablet, I have tested years ago... however I guess you should check in advance if is mandatory in your case. Regarding the cable supply you can let tablet connected to power the same way that you will have to have theraspi, is what I did i…

Janvda Really I had same issue, I'm using chrome at full screen to display the dashboard 24x7 and after long time gets disconnected, you see the dashboard however to use it you need to slide finger down over the screen to force it to refresh and takes a few seconds...

On the picture you can appreciate a top white 10" tablet with node-red dashboard, this is ok but on normal conditions you just use a few buttons or gauges, on the bottom I have a 8" 30$ tablet with one app called "MQTT dashboard" which give you capabilities to create buttons, switches and gauges wi…

[image] BartButenaers: Yep, but all tablets - that I have seen - have all their connectors at their border. So you see all cables hanging, which is never going to be approved by my most lovely wife... Perhaps some nice cases exist, but never seen one... All of the smaller tablets are powered…

[image] janvda: So @davidcgu , did you succeed in a stable setup running 24x7 hours ? If so, I would be very interested in knowing what you did to achieve this. Assuming the tablet is running Android (though just as easy on Windows), use an automation tool to do something to keep the tablet a…
