Although seemingly a small inconvenience, this stops the ability to see the Ring video (using automateit from 1:30am till the lock screen is manually removed) upon motion detection events. I don’t want to get up from bed at 2 in the morning when I hear a motion detection just to find out it was a cat:). The wife likes it much better when she can just take a glance at the wall without getting out of bed.
But yes, I think the later OS must have some type of daily system check which causes the lock screen to activate. Bummer…
No I never figured it out but a simple swipe clears it for the day. Despite all the comments and suggestions here I cant resolve it, otherwise it is perfect. I agree it happens between 1 & 5 am.
Thanks so much! The utility worked great, even on a Fire tablet that was fully updated and connected to wifi the entire time.
One question–I am using a video feed from BlueIris. Is there a way in ActionTiles I can set up a video feed to be turned on when there is motion detected on a certain camera? I have my Front Door feed streaming all the time and it is taking up a lot of CPU resources.

Not a feature of ActionTiles yet; but this (or similar) is an open Feature Request. It isn’t in high demand, though; special handling for Media Tiles will evolve relatively slowly.
Which wireless charger do you recommend for the Fire (7 inch & 10 inch). How is this one: https://amzn.to/2Ha2ohg Should I get Micro USB Narrow Side Up or Narrow Side Down?
It’s been a quite a while since I manually setup my HD8s using information found on the XDAdevelopers site, but IMHO it’s not a big deal to do. Since then the OS has changed, and I’m sure what I did back then has also changed.
After installing the Google Play Store, install the Fully Kiosk Browser should you be using ActionTiles, and install Lannouncer if you want voice messages from something like BigTalker. Here is a search for the current pages with advice for installing the Google Play Store.
My device runs 24/7 on power, never sleeps when powered, and updates are disabled. I’ve seen reports that some of the HD devices are now forced to sleep once or twice a day.
Ordered three of these from Woot (32GB, @ $39). Two have come in already. I used your script on the two that have arrived. They both were loaded with Fire OS 5.4.0.1. Lot’s of error messages initially, but the final result was Amazon ads no longer pop-up and all the required software was loaded. Sweet! Did not need the 32GB models but that was all that was left on Woot. Will try again with Woot for a few backups if I’m lucky enough to see them when they get listed.
Each one is running Fully Kiosk, Actiontiles, and Dakboard. No issues with all three of thes great programs running on the Fire as well. Wallframe from MotifEtc. My only issue with the wall frame was that the opening is only to the left which is 1" away from the wall. Plugging in the Fire was a pain. Would be nice if he sold a right-hand model as well
PS, the wife has claimed the 3rd one for her personal use when it comes in…
Attached a couple of pictures of final wall mount of one of them
Not sure if it matters or not now that I have already ran the script, but last night all my Fire 8’s updated to 5.6. Only adverse effect was I needed to log back in to Actiontiles.
I just had to wipe my Fire 7 for a couple reasons. Regardless, when I did a system reset, it loaded 5.6 again. I was able to follow the instructions I posted above to downgrade the OS and remove the bloat – including OTA updates.
