H2 Kiosk Control: Remote Admin

H2 Kiosk Control is the remote control and central management app for your kiosk tablets. Manage all Android tablets in kiosk mode from one phone: switch the kiosk on or off, turn the screens black after closing time, set opening hours and change the website, without walking to each tablet and without entering its PIN.

It works only together with our app H2 Kiosk Browser, which runs on each tablet. Made for shops, restaurants, medical practices, hotels, trade fair stands and offices that want to control several kiosk devices from one place. Phone and tablets talk to each other directly in your Wi-Fi. Remote access (on after pairing) also lets you reach your whole fleet of kiosk tablets from anywhere.

HOW IT WORKS
• On the tablet, open H2 Kiosk Browser, go to Settings → Central management and tap Pair a phone
• Scan the QR code with this app, or type the 8-digit code
• Give the tablet a name, for example "Checkout 1". It now appears in your device list
• Pairing starts behind the tablet's PIN, so only someone who can open its settings can add it

ALL TABLETS IN ONE LIST
• Every tablet with its status, kiosk and black screen switches, and its schedule
• Folders: drag one tablet onto another, e.g. per floor or per shop window
• A folder's switches act on all tablets in it
• Select all, or tap several tablets, and control them together
• Offline, you still see a tablet's last known settings

WHAT YOU CAN SET
• Website link, and whether visitors may leave the website
• Subpages: the whole website or only the start page
• Other allowed addresses
• Kiosk on or off to lock or unlock the tablet, screen black or on, reload the page
• Weekly schedule with opening hours for each weekday. Outside them the screen is black while the kiosk is on
• Name and folder of each tablet
• Remove a tablet from the app. If it is reachable, it forgets this phone too

REMOTE ACCESS
• Reach your tablets outside the shop's Wi-Fi, e.g. on mobile data or when a guest Wi-Fi keeps devices apart
• Turns on by itself when you pair. Switch it off or on per tablet, on the tablet or in the app
• Switched off on purpose, it stays off and this app asks once
• It runs through an H2-AI server in Germany. Commands and status stay end-to-end encrypted between phone and tablet
• Pairing by QR code or 8-digit code also works across networks and guest Wi-Fi, if both have internet
• If no paired phone uses a tablet for 30 days, remote access goes to sleep until you open the app once in the tablet's Wi-Fi

SAFE BY DESIGN
• Only paired phones can send commands. Every connection is encrypted (TLS), and phone and tablet check each other's certificate
• The tablet's PIN, permissions and license can never be changed from the phone
• Remote unlock can be switched off on each tablet
• A phone can be removed on the tablet at any time

WHAT IT NEEDS
• Android 9 or newer on the phone
• Tablets with a current H2 Kiosk Browser (1.0.1 or newer), else pair in the same Wi-Fi
• Phone and tablet in the same Wi-Fi, or both with internet and remote access on
• Android 9 tablets: same Wi-Fi only
• To lock a tablet from the phone, the kiosk must be set up on that tablet once (PIN and permissions)
• 2 tablets included. For more tablets, a subscription in the app (from 2.99 EUR/month)
• The camera is used only to scan the QR code. You can type the code instead
• The app is in English

PRIVACY
No account, no ads, no analytics, no crash reporting. Your device list with names, folders and the last known status is stored only on your phone. The camera picture is never saved or sent. The app connects to our servers only for remote access, for pairing when the tablet cannot be reached in your Wi-Fi, and, if you subscribe, to confirm your plan and count your tablets. The tablet stays connected to our relay server while remote access is on. The relay passes on the encrypted connection, cannot read it and keeps no logs of IP addresses.
