What Kiosk Tablet? (lemmy.ml)

I've been using an Amazon tablet with Fully Kiosk for a few months but it frankly sucks ass. Keeps resetting itself or kicking back to the Amazon home screen to name a few issues.

If money isn't a factor, what tablet do you think would be the dream choice for integrating as a wall mountable Hass tablet?

Fully Kiosk is a great app but still very hacky, so I'd like a tablet that doesn't require workarounds to keep it in kiosk mode.

I hate telemetry and spyware as well so I guest that puts anything Amazon or Google based out of the equation.

Never had an mamazon tablet but I guess it has a modified android version like their tv dongle so mostly any "real" android tablet will do, cheapest one would be less reactive but still will works. I had mine on an old Huawei tablet but today I would go for something like Xiaomi pad 6 (don't think it is worth to get a high end tablet for that purpose), whatever you get disable battery saving functionality for kiosk app and you should be good. As for telemetry/spyware, block it at router level so it will be limited to your local network.
