Amazon Fire Tablet & Nest Camera

[josh]

@James take a look at CJs other post about the issue:

Nest Cam and Nest Hello Experimental Support

I know that Nest Camera integration is still experimental but I see the spinning circle a lot on my Android Tablet running Fully Kiosk however I don’t get it on a quite old iPad Air 2 that I use sometimes. The iPad has 2gb of Ram and the Android Tablet only has 1GB, is that likely the culprit? Even if I only have 1 nest cam added, I still get spinning every couple of seconds.

I originally thought it might be network related or something else, but the tablet does seem to be pretty slow to react. If my Google-fu is right, it looks like the Galaxy Tab 2 is from circa 2012, so it probably is a slower device.

While I can’t speak to whether the Fire HD 10 would be perfect for CJ’s particular use case, it’s likely a major step up from a 2012 tablet.

Fire HD 10 devices are a popular choice for use with SharpTools dashboards. They’re a good balance of performance for the price. That is to say that there are higher performance devices out there, but it’s hard to beat the “bang for the buck” of Fire tablets which is probably why they’re so popular.

Edit: Other devices which are popular in the community for SharpTools dashboards (and are likely to be on sale during Black Friday) include the newest Samsung Galaxy Tabs and Apple iPads.
