Everywhere¶
- Screen off: a touch turns it back on. So does a knock on the case, while the device switch « Tab5 Tap-to-Wake » is on (it is by default), and « Okay Nabu », while « Tab5 Rallumer l'écran à Okay Nabu » is on (it is by default). It goes off by itself only if you pick a delay in « Tab5 Extinction auto de l'écran » (« Jamais », never, by default): after that long without a touch, but never while the alarm rings, the voice assistant is busy or a game is open. At night, the « Tab5 · extinction de nuit » list in Home Assistant (00:00-06:00 by default) turns it off after 1 min without a touch, and back on in the morning. These four settings and the brightness are also in the settings of the tablet.
- A window (lights, climate, calendar…) closes with its ×, top right, or with a tap on the dark area around it. Left alone 45 s without a touch, it closes by itself; a game never does.
- Another forecast page comes back to the home page after 25 s without a touch.
- What you don't have is not shown: no TV, no remote on the long press of the gamepad button; no solar production, no Energy window on the long press of the Home Assistant button; no conversation pipeline, no Domo / Discu buttons; no greenhouse sensor, a carousel icon in its place, still switching the area left of the clock; no plants and no sensor line, nothing under the clock.
