Tablet on the wall

An old tablet in the hallway shows everyone the time, weather, appointments and open tasks – no account needed.

In wall mode, a tablet becomes the family screen: a big clock, the weather and the next appointments as notifications. The tablet doesn't need an email address – you connect it with a QR code.

How it works

  1. On your phone, open Settings › Family & people.
  2. Tap Connect a wall tablet.
  3. Tap Create invitation. A QR code and a code appear.
  4. On the tablet, open the camera and scan the QR code – or open huesli.app/app, tap I have an invite code and enter the code.
  5. On the tablet, tap Connect this device.
  6. From now on, the tablet shows wall mode. It's best to keep it plugged into the charger.

Settings

Under Settings › Device & wall mode:

  • Night rest: during this time (by default 22:00–06:00), the tablet only shows a dimmed clock.
  • Photo changes every: with the Photos add-on, your family photos run in the background.
  • Wall mode automatically: a device switches to wall mode by itself after 2, 5 or 10 minutes without being touched.

Good to know

  • The wall tablet sees the whole family's day and can tick off tasks, shopping and packed items. It never shows health or money.
  • Wall mode is available on any other device too: profile picture at the top right › Start wall mode. A tap brings you back to Hüsli.
  • Night rest and photo changes apply to all wall tablets. Wall mode automatically only applies to the device you set it on.
  • To sign out a wall tablet, go to its page under Settings › Family & people.
  • Wall mode is part of Hüsli Pro. During the beta everything is free.
