I have some old phones mounted on my walls in various locations as control panels for Home Assistant. However every now and then one of them gets hot and its battery starts bulging, and I have to toss it. It's a problem even though they are (old) flagship phones.
I'm looking for some kind of tablet that is wall-mountable but doesn't contain a Lithium battery. Some other kind of safe battery (NiMH?) that can last through momentary brownouts and power cuts of a few minutes would be nice.
- spockz 3y agoHow are you powering the server running home assistant and all the smart devices during the brown out? Can you hook up the tablet to the same power source? Or if they are not powered, what do you expect to manage during the Brownout?
- dheera 3y agoThe server is a VM on a rack-mounted machine with a UPS. The tablets are wall-mounted in multiple places elsewhere in the apartment. I don't want them to go into a full reboot cycle if power is lost only for a couple of seconds or even minutes.
