Hi,

1st - thanks. Nice stuff!

the kiosk mode does not work on my echo show 15. Any idea why?

Thanks!

Hi @jkoenig72! I think you misunderstood what the kiosk mode actually does. When KIOSK_MODE is set to True, it just adds "?kiosk" to every URL. This way the header and the sidebar are hidden, if you have installed the kiosk mode frontend addon via HACS. Have a look at the image in the kiosk mode repository; I think it illustrates quite well what is actually hidden. The browser bar can't be hidden unfortunately; this is a limitation of the Silk browser.

Thank you so much, I installed it and it's working like a charm. Is there a way to hide the alexa internal browser address bar? Kiosk is ok, but still some room in the page is kept by the address bar.

Hi @divirg! Glad that the skill works for you. But unfortunately there is no way to hide the browser address bar. That's a limitation of the browser on the Echo Show that I can't do anything about.

Hi Every one. I use this Hacs addon to work in full screen https://github.com/j-a-n/lovelace-wallpanel Once installed, just follow the addon tutorial. image To configure, just add these lines to your dashboard. Once configured on the dashboard that will send to Alexa, just adjust the link to direct to her. Just be careful, when opening on a PC, it will always force the full screen once configured, to do this add "?wp_enabled=false&edit=1" to the end of the link to be able to access it on your computer. After everything is ready, just tap on the dashboard, and it goes to full screen, there are several parameters within this integration, it is very complete.
