Store listing

Full description
Simple and lightweight companion app for wall mounted or stationary devices used in home automation. Yakk can turn your device into both a security camera and a motion detection sensor. Yakk runs in the background, parallel with your primary content provider app (e.g. Home Assistant Companion app) and provides management functionalities such as waking up the device when motion is detected. It does not try to embed or render the content leaving that to other apps that are better suited and purpose built to that task. Features: * Motion Detection - Let the device turn off its screen and allow it to enter low power mode but wake it up when movement is detected. The device MUST have an unsecured (no pin/no gesture) keypad in order for this to function. This is typically not a big deal in residential applications. * Auto Start - Automatically start Yakk and an optional companion app after device boot. * MJPEG Streaming - Turns the device into an MJPEG capable security camera. The stream can be accessed at :2112 and can be added to your home automation platform. e.g. using Home Assistant's MJPEG integration Please visit our website and read through the documentation and FAQ section to make sure you can get the most out of Yakk. Some devices are finicky and require special configurations outside of the app! Yakk stands for "Yet Another Kiosk Companion" due to lack of imagination to come up with a better name :)

What's new

New features: * Add Folio, OnviFer, Thunderbird, and Google Calendar to list of supported companion apps
