I have a Samsung Android tablet (running LineageOS) in the kitchen.

What kind of App is recommended as of today? I want it to automatically come on when there's movement detected in the kitchen and display the weather forecast, the calendar, birthdays and so on. Remind me to put the trash out and have the most important buttons and switches for the house. Ideally also double as an internet radio and a digital picture frame.

I've tried WallPanel and the HomeAssistant Companion App.

Are there alternatives? What do you use? Do you integrate your Dashboards/Wallpanels via MQTT?

I just have a home assistant dashboard running as a full screen webpage. I don't have auto wake on movement but it works great otherwise.
