Turn any Android device into a dedicated, local Home Assistant kiosk with voice and media support.
kiosk-satellite について
Kiosk Satellite is an Android application built specifically to transform consumer Android devices into full-featured, always-on Home Assistant dashboards. It runs in kiosk mode, hiding system UI elements to provide an immersive, focused interface for home automation control.
The app includes native integration with Home Assistant's Voice Satellite protocol, enabling local, offline voice commands without cloud dependencies. It also supports synchronized music playback via Music Assistant and displays photo screensavers pulled from local or Home Assistant-managed sources.
All functionality operates locally on the device and communicates directly with Home Assistant over the local network using MQTT, WebRTC, and other standard protocols — no external servers or telemetry are involved.
