Utilities

DashPad Kiosk

Display a chosen dashboard website full-screen on iPad with optional presence/schedule wake behavior.

Our take

Useful for households testing a non-critical wall dashboard

PIN, idle brightness and favorites provide basic kiosk controls.

Keep in mind: Any-site/no-escape/reload claims are not a certified device lock; camera presence can miss people and Guided Access is a system setup. Not a security/safety control.

What you can do

  • Full-screen URL browser and reconnect reload
  • Local camera presence or fixed schedule/always-on
  • Idle screen/brightness, favorites and optional PIN

Good for

  • Users controlling their own dashboard and device access

Consider alternatives for

  • Guaranteed child-proof lockdown or life-safety monitoring

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.0.
  • Any-site/no-escape/reload claims are not a certified device lock; camera presence can miss people and Guided Access is a system setup. Not a security/safety control.

Privacy & permissions

Publisher says frames analyzed/discarded locally; the loaded website still makes network requests and may expose home controls. Restrict dashboard account access.
