Hi All,
so I'm thinking about running the GHL interface on a tablet and mounting it on the wall next to the tank,

is there anyone on here that's done this, I'm keen to understand if it will auto refresh? also if you are doing this what are you running it on there seems to be plenty of cheap tablets around at the moment with the January sales going on?

Thanks for any help

Any tablet (iOS or android) should do the job. :)

Within the app, there is a setting which keeps the tablet screen ON as long as you have the app open. That option is called, Disable auto-lock. Regardless if you keep it on the dashboard or another page (dosing pumps, general, etc.), the tablet's connection to your device will remain active.

The app "keep screen on" works too.

Mine runs on a old ipad mounted on the wall next to the tank
It does stay refreshed

Sorry for the derail, and purely out of curiosity, I'm assuming the bottles on the door are supplements, but where did you get that setup?
