OK, this one is the simps. I have a Raspberry Pi connected to a monitor. Whenever the Pi starts up, I want it to automatically load my air quality dashboard in full-screen (kiosk) mode. I don’t want to use a keyboard, mouse or other user action, I just want it to start up and show a webpage, using the full-screen kiosk mode.
Here’s how to do it:
Edit the lxsession autostart file with the following:
sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostartAt the bottom of the file, add:
@/usr/bin/chromium-browser --kiosk https://kis.support/h200That’s it. Whenever your Pi reboots, it’ll load up the webpage (in this case https://kis.support/h200).
Pro Tip: The Rapsberry Pi’s default screensaver can be a pain in the neck. I disabled it by installing xscreensaver with:
sudo apt install xscreensaverThen, click the Raspberry “Home” button > Preferences > Screensaver. In the top dropdown “Mode” menu, select “Disable Screen Saver”. Then sit back and get ready for some serious burn-in.
